Management of Mine Dust for Optimum Ambient Air Quality of Suakati Region- A Case Study.

Mining is one of the core sectors of the Indian economy. Mining of minerals is inevitable. Simultaneous mining is also associated with the degradation of the environment. Over the years, minerals have been exploited without giving due consideration to environmental degradation. Dust generation is the result of almost all the activities of a mine, which is primarily responsible for various occupational health hazards, environmental pollution, etc. This paper presents various aspects of mine dust, mine air quality, and the impact of such dust on the nearby environment. An attempt has been made to determine the most effective practices for better ambient air quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
