Exposure of mine workers to particulate matter (PM) in opencast mines is of major concern
because of associated adverse health impacts. Dispersion of PM in such mines depends on …

With the increase in depth of mines, the movement and dispersion of particulate matter (PM)
are very difficult to predict due to improper ventilation. Insufficient open pit ventilation …

Dispersion studies of particulate matter generated during opencast mining until now have
mostly been confined to estimation of emissions from individual mining activity as well as …

Particulate matter (PM) is one of the primary pollutants produced from surface mining
operations. Health related studies indicate a strong association of airborne PM with adverse …

People living around surface mines are exposed to enhanced respirable particle level. Not
many studies are available that evaluated the contribution of mining to it. The paper …

Earlier studies on dispersion of Particulate Matter (PM) in opencast mines primarily focused
on estimation of source strength of each mining operation and dispersion of the pollutants …

Stone crushers are small scale industries in the unorganised sector. They provide basic
material for road and building construction. They are highly labour intensive. The various …

A cluster of 50 stone crushing units located at Pammal, in suburban Chennai, the capital of
Tamil Nadu State, India, is a source of high levels of dust generation in the vicinity of the …

This study compares the ambient air particulate matter (PM10) data of 15 different coal mine
environments. For most of these mine environments, the monitoring was carried out by …

The South African mining industry is one of the largest producers of platinum (Pt) in the
world. Workers in this industry are exposed to significant amounts of dust, and this dust …
