在Chanaral（北智利）研究了铜尾矿倾倒在海中的海洋环境影响。这些来自萨尔瓦多铜矿的倾倒物阻碍了港口活动，造成了海岸地貌的改变，并严重影响了海洋海岸生态系统和娱乐活动。在Chanaral Bay的旧垃圾场（1938-1974），堆积了近1.5亿吨细沉积物。位于Chanaral湾以北约8公里的卡莱塔帕利托的新倾倒场排放的尾矿以每天约25,000吨的速度累积，加上数量不详的化学物质（Cu、As、CN-）。1975年1月至1976年7月，该站点共吸收了1300多万吨沉积物，造成海洋沿岸环境恶化，光线穿透减少，海洋无脊椎动物、鱼类和藻类死亡率高。
Marine environmental impact as a result of Cu mine tailing dumping in the sea is studied at Chanaral (North Chile). These dumpings, from the Cu mine El Salvador, hindered harbor activities, caused geomorphological coastal modifications and seriously affected marine coastal ecosystems and recreational activities. At the old dumping site, Chanaral Bay (1938-1974), nearly 150 million tons of fine sediments were accumulated. Tailing discharges at the new dumping site, Caleta Palito, about 8 km north of Chanaral Bay are accumulating approximately at the rate of 25,000 tons of fine sediments/day, plus unknown quantities of chemicals (Cu, As, CN-). From Jan., 1975-July, 1976, this site received over 13 million tons of sediments, which caused deterioration of the marine coastal environment, reduction in light penetration and high mortalities among marine invertebrates, fishes and algae.
