Blowin’ in the Wind: Mapping the Dispersion of Metal(loid)s From Atacama Mining

The Atacama Desert’s naturally elevated metal(loid)s pose a unique challenge for assessing the environmental impact of mining, particularly for indigenous communities residing in these areas. This study investigates how copper mining influences the dispersion of these elements in the wind‐transporta...
