At Parc mine, the mine entrance is upstream of the sample area, with Fe – bearing water draining outwards. Downstream, a capped tailings dam dominates the landscape. 28 soil samples and 4 moss samples were collected, to determine the bioavailability of any metals or metalloids present. Soil samples represent surface
