Soil contamination levels were studied in the land affected by an abandoned tungsten mine in Valdeorras (NW Spain). The mine worked mainly in the first half of the twentieth century, and it was definitely closed by 1953. Soil samples were taken in thirteen points within the mine (including both natural soils and soils developed over mine wastes), and in two natural soils close to the mine area. Total heavy metals (Fe, Zn, Ni and Cu) and As were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence in sieved (< 2 mm) ground samples. Extremely high As levels (>1000 mg kg-1) were found in all the samples of the mine area, whereas for the heavy metals analyzed no abnormally high concentrations were observed. Although high As background levels are common in soil...
