Mining operations generates substantial quantities of airborne respirable dust, which leads to the development of lung disease in mine workers. Mine worker's pneumoconiosis and silicosis are lung diseases that have adversely impacted the health of thousands of mine workers. The increasing trend of open...
What are the impacts of mining on the health of the miners and the environment? The impacts of mining: (i)The dust and noxious fumes inhaled by miners make them vulnerable to pulmonary diseases. (ii)The risk of collapsing mine roofs, inundation and fires in coalmines are a constant threat...
Mining companies are also making efforts to reduce the environmental and social impacts of mining and minimize the footprint of their activities throughout the mining cycle, including planning for post-closure restoration. Mining industry can become more environment friendly and socially sustainable by ...
Impacts of mining on the environment; some local, regional and global issues The mining, processing and utilisation of metals dates back to Roman times and earlier with extensive developments in many parts of the world by the eighte... I Thornton - 《Applied Geochemistry》 被引量: 166发表: ...
“NicheMapR”46. This function implements a biophysical model for calculating heat and mass exchange between an individual endotherm and a given environment, and for simulating required postural and physiological thermoregulation for maintaining minimal metabolic rates. Our model found a solution for ...
This article describes the most important environmental impacts of cement mining Cement industry caused environmental pollution problems, and the pollutants of the cement industry produced the adverse impact on air water and land. Cement industry is the one of the 17 most pollutant industries listed by...
Much of the world has adopted environmental regulations that do not allow, or significantly restrict in0stream mining like is proposed for the Rio Tigre. Alternatives to in-stream mining exist that are not only significantly less damaging to the environment, but are often more cost efficient in ...
Further detail on the assumptions is provided below. 2.2.1.1. Micro-wind turbine It is assumed that the turbine is manufactured in the UK [8], [28]. The turbine consists of a rotor, nacelle, tower, foundation and electronics. The rotor consists of three fibreglass blades and a cast iron...
In order to analyze the response of the ecological environment to the comprehensive management in the SRB, this paper analyzes the variation characteristics and its influencing factors of runoff in the middle and lower reaches of the SRB, with the aim of providing a valuable reference for the ...
Credit: University of New South Wales UNSW Engineers want to learn more about the impact of coal mining on wetlands—before and after mining occurs. What happens to a swamp (wetland) when you dig a longwall coal mine beneath it? The evidence suggests that on many occasions the water disappea...
