Opencast mining creates serious air pollution in the mining area. There is no well-defined method for assessing the impact on air quality due to mining activities.
Air pollution is a severe threat to public health around the world. Global Burden of Disease estimates that more than 5.5 million people died prematurely due to air pollution in 2013 alone, with China and India claiming more than half of the deaths (Brauer, 2016).Coal in particular is a significant contributor to air pollution in emerging markets such as India, which has the …
Iron and steel industry is one of the major heavy industries of Chhattisgarh and considered as resource intensive and pollution prone and added pollution to air, water resources, precious land.
2016, a total of 34 iron ore mines, 32 tin mines, and eight gold mines operated in peninsular Malaysia (JMG, 2018). Before 1980, Malaysia's metallic mining industries were mainly dominated by tin, iron, and gold mines. Much research including that of Sarupria et al. (2019), Lodhia
Referring to Afroz et al., the major air pollution in Malaysia came from motor vehicle that contributing to at least 70–75% of total air pollution. Motor vehicle emissions consequently impacted the spatial and temporal distribution of ambient concentration that also determined by meteorological factors (Kim and Guldmann 2011 ).
Detailed studies are essential in India to evaluate air quality and implement measures for effective control of mining in sensitive locations. A study for this purpose was carried out in the Basundhara area of the Ib Valley coalfield in Orissa State, India. ... A management strategy is formulated for effective control of air pollution at source ...

Zhu et al. (2020) who studied the association between air pollution and COVID-19 cases, had found that there is a statistically significant relationship between air pollution and COVID-19 infection, suggesting that further laboratory analysis is crucial to the investigation of the air pollution-related mechanism and the COVID-19 pandemic.
India is reported as one of the world's most polluted nation by the impact of air pollution on children and due to this higher amount of air pollution the life expectancy among Indians is reduced by 3.4 years (EPI, 2016; GGEI, 2016; UNICEF, 2016; WHO, 2016). The study of GBD considered India under 'serious health emergency' as it recorded 1 ...
Open-cast iron ore mining is vital for the global economy, providing the raw material for steel production. It is cost-effective and allows for the efficient extraction of large ore quantities within shorter timeframes compared to underground mining. However, open-cast mining can have significant environmental impacts. Open-cast iron ore mining is essential for meeting the …
Opencast mining dominates coal production in India. A survey was conducted to evaluate its local atmospheric impact. Emissions data were utilised to compute dust generation …
According to the Minerals and Geoscience Department, in 2016, a total of 34 iron ore mines, 32 tin mines, and eight gold mines operated in peninsular Malaysia (JMG, 2018). Before 1980, …
In its most general form, mining activities are carried out in two ways, underground and above-ground. Particularly, Particulate Matters (PMs) and Methane (CH4) gas emissions in open and underground mining constitute a …

Air quality monitoring was conducted in 12 working, 29 closed and 18 proposed ion ore mines to assess the existing baseline air quality status in Saranda region of West Singhbhum district in the ...
Increased mining activity of iron ore has led to the generation of voluminous wastes of various nature, especially during the different stages of its extraction and production. The improper disposal of such waste causes negative impact on the environment. One such waste which is generated during the beneficiation process of iron ore is waste iron ore tailings, which …
In 2018, out of global production of 300 million tons of bauxite, Australia produced 75 million tons followed by China with 70 million tons, Guinea with 50 million tons, Brazil with 27 million tons and India 24 million tons (U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), 2019).Indonesia, Jamaica, Russia, Vietnam and Malaysia are also producers, though to a lesser extent.
Principal component analysis reveals that TSS, COD, BOD, Pb, and As are highly associated with ex-mining ponds. Cluster analysis shows similarity in pollution source between lake and ex-mining ponds.
A comprehensive field study has been carried out to measure the background air quality status and identify the air pollution sources from opencast mines around a heritage site in India. Air quality modeling has been carried out to envisage dust concentration due to the existing and closed mines in the region. The predicted total PM10 and PM2.5 levels at the selected …
The mining areas included seven selected locations in the vicinity of active and abandoned iron ore-mining sites in Pahang, Malaysia. Heavy metals such as Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Co, Pb, Cr, Ni, and Cd and metalloid As were present in the mining soils of the studied area, while Cu was found exceeding the soil guideline value at all sampling locations.

Industries (e.g., thermal power plants, refineries, steel plants, open cast mines, bricks kiln) and vehicle and emissions are the largest anthropogenic sources of air pollution. Mining is a significant source of emissions from dust among the numerous sources of air pollution (Ghose and Majee Citation 2000).
