Abstrakt: | Indices of contamination (IC) are usually employed to assess the hazardousness associated with potentially toxic elements (PTE) from mining wastes (MW). For such, it is necessary to know the total concentrations of the PTE and local, regional, or global background or reference levels which are tolerable or acceptable threshold values for total content in soils. Although scientific literature is vast regarding the application of IC to MW, there is scarce research on the reference levels that must be employed in locations with no established comparison values. This study proposes basic reference levels for the global application of PTE contents in MW, leading to a global index of contamination (IC (© 2022.
