Best Answer

Mine tailings contain harmful chemicals such as heavy metals and sulfur compounds that can leach into the environment, contaminating soil, water, and air. Proper storage and disposal are important to prevent environmental pollution and protect human health. Failure to manage mine tailings can result in long-lasting ecological damage and pose a threat to local communities.

How do you remove the windshield molding on a 1998 Jaguar XK8?

Carefully! I had mine done by monkeys that bent it and it cost over $500 to buy new ones. There are clips that hold it down. It can be removed w/ the glass and carefully separated after or you can carefully slide something thin under the molding and feel for each clip (can't remember how many) and then carefully pry upwards at each point to release the molding. Be sure to place something against the glass when prying and again, be careful.
