- Description
- This chapter discusses the challenges associated with rehabilitating and managing contaminated mine sites in Australia, and the role of mineCARE, an advanced software tool developed by CRC CARE, in addressing these challenges. With a staggering number of abandoned mining sites in Australia, potential environmental and public health risks are widespread. The limited resources available for remediation make it essential to prioritize efforts and manage these sites with a comprehensive approach to protect human health, ecological receptors, and the environment. MineCARE offers a scoring system that assesses the potential risks of contaminated mine sites to human health and the environment, and statistical analysis tools that enable users to quickly identify high-risk sites and gain valuable insights into the effectiveness of remediation efforts. By prioritizing contaminated mine sites based on potential risks, mineCARE can assist authorities in allocating resources efficiently and taking appropriate actions. Overall, mineCARE offers a valuable tool for managing contaminated mine sites and minimizing the potential risks to human health and the environment.
