The impact of mining & industrial activities on air quality
Mining and industrial operations significantly contribute to air pollution through greenhouse gas emissions, fine particulate matter, organic compounds, and chemicals. These pollutants have detrimental effects on climate change, human health, and the environment, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive air quality monitoring and mitigation measures.
Here are common pollutants generated from industrial activities:
Particulate Matter
Fine particulate matter emissions from mining and industrial activities have significant negative effects on health, causing respiratory damage and premature death.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Mining and industrial operations contribute to air pollution, including greenhouse gas emissions that affect climate change.
Organic Compounds and Chemicals
Industrial processes release organic compounds, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and other chemicals, contributing to air pollution and atmospheric warming.
Other Pollutants
Mining and industrial operations release pollutants such as toxic metals, particulates, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, methane, carbon monoxide, and benzene, which can impact air quality, ozone formation, and the greenhouse effect.
