SPM Is the Major Pollution in Open Cast Mining-A Case Study

Air emissions from open cast coal mining operations (drilling, overburden loading/unloading, coal loading/unloading, haul roads, transport roads, exposed overburden dumps, stock yards, workshops, exposed pit surfaces, and coal handling plants) are examined. Ground level emission rates are computed,...

Zusammenfassung:Air emissions from open cast coal mining operations (drilling, overburden loading/unloading, coal loading/unloading, haul roads, transport roads, exposed overburden dumps, stock yards, workshops, exposed pit surfaces, and coal handling plants) are examined. Ground level emission rates are computed, showing that haul and transport roads contribute the most suspended particulate matter (SPM) of all the mining activities. Sprinkling of water along these roads can help suppress SPM of
