Moreover, it is located in a seismically active area. The seismicity is induced and is connected with mining works in the nearby underground copper mines. Any release of the contents of the repository to the environment could have devastating and even catastrophic consequences. For this reason, geophysical methods are used for continuous monitoring the state of the repository containment dams. The article presents examples of the application of geoelectric methods for detecting sites of leakage of contaminated water and a sketch of the seismic hazard analysis, which was used to predict future seismic vibrations of the repository dams. date: 2003 date_type: published publication: Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part A volume: 38 number: 8 publisher: Taylor & Francis pagerange: 1435-1443 id_number: doi:10.1081/ESE-120021468 refereed: TRUE issn: 1093-4529 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1081/ESE-120021468 access_IS-EPOS: limited owner: Publisher citation: Lasocki, Stanislaw and Antoniuk, Janusz and Moscicki, Jerzy (2003) Environmental Protection Problems in the Vicinity of the Żelazny Most Flotation Wastes Depository in Poland.
