1. Introduction and background1.1. Mine dust pollution and its environmental & health risks. As the world's resources continue to be exploited, mining activities are giving rise to increasing environmental damage and pollution, of which mine dust pollution is considered to be one of the biggest threats to environment and public health (Entwistle et …
اقرأ أكثرMining lower grade ore requires the extraction and processing of much more ore to get the same amount of gold. Partially due to cyanide, modern mines are. much larger than before cyanide was used; create vast open pits; and; produce huge quantities of waste. More than 20 tons of mine waste are generated to produce enough gold for a typical ring.
