The over-exploitation of mineral resources has led to increasingly serious dust pollution in
mines, resulting in a series of negative impacts on the environment, mine workers …

With the rapid urbanization and shortage of energy, the construction of underground projects
such as urban rail transit, hydropower stations, and coal mines is a general trend. Dust …

Mining continues to be a dangerous activity, whether large-scale industrial mining or small-
scale artisanal mining. Not only are there accidents, but exposure to dust and toxins, along …

Large-scale industrial activities emit large amounts of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in
the form of particulate pollutants. Most of these pollutants settle on the road and eventually …

This study was conducted to appraise the hydrogeochemical characteristics and sources of
heavy metals and the probable human health risks associated with the consumption of water …

Due to production technologies such as blasting, transportation, and loading, large
quantities of dust are produced in surface mines. This dust not only pollutes the environment …

The mining industry globally is responsible for significant energy consumption, and is an
important source of greenhouse gas emissions. Considering that future mineral demand is …

Particulate matter (PM), an important component of air pollution, induces significant adverse
health effects. Many of the observed health effects caused by inhaled PM are associated …

There is a growing concern in mining community about the contribution of nano-particulates
to miner's health. Despite the health influence of respirable dusts and associated lung …

Mining operations are inherently associated with dust generation, which is detrimental to
cleaner production in mines. Exposure to airborne respirable dust causes serious health …
