Description
Summary:This article contains analytical data on chemical composition of waters and solid samples (mining wastes and biominerals) collected in an abandoned mining area, and they are related with the research article “Geochemistry of rare earth elements in water and solid materials at abandoned mines in SW Sardinia (Italy)” (Medas et al., 2013).Specifically, we present physicochemical data (temperature, electrical conductivity, pH, and redox potential), major components and the main contaminants (Zn, Mn, Cd, Ni, Cu, Pb) detected in stream waters and drainages from mine wastes. Waters were monitored from 2009 to 2011 during different seasonal conditions to give an insight into metal dispersion under different hydrological conditions.
