1. Introduction and Global Research Context The life cycle of a mining project generates complex environmental liabilities (PAM) that threaten water, soil, and air quality on a global scale. From the high-altitude Andean mines to the Canadian Shield, biotechnological solutions—utilizing the metabolic pathways of microorganisms and plants—offer a sustainable alternative for the detoxification of contaminants.
