“…Maximal concentrations of particulate matter are generally occurred during winter and minimal in the rainy season areas (Karaca et al, 1995;Soni and Agarwal, 1997;CMRI, 1999;Ghose and Majee, 2000;Tayanc, 2000;Nanda and Tiwary, 2001;Reddy and Ruj, 2003). However, for certain urban areas maximal concentrations of particulate matters are also observed in summer season (Crabbe et al, 2000;Ferreira et al, 2000;Meenalbal and Akil, 2000;Almbauer et al, 2001;Triantafyllou, 2003). The concentration of particulate matters vary with the meteorological parameters and a relation also exist between TSP and PM 10 (Monn et al, 1995;Tayanc, 2000;Jones et al, 2002;Triantafyllou et al, , 2003Triantafyllou and Kassomenos, 2002).…”

“…Major air pollutants due to opencast mining are total suspended particulate (TSP) matter and respirable particulate (PM 10 ) matter (Sinha and Banerjee, 1997;CMRI, 1998), in contrast to vehicular emissions where lead and gaseous pollutants are the major concern (Meenalbal and Akil, 2000;Almbauer et al, 2001). Transportation of materials is the main source of TSP generation in the mining area (Sinha and Banerjee, 1994;Sinha, 1995;Soni and Agarwal, 1997;Ghose and Majee, 2000).…”

“…These air pollutants reduce air quality and this ultimately affects the people, flora and fauna in and around mining areas (Chaudhari and Gajghate, 2000;Crabbe et al, 2000;Wheeler et al, 2000;Nanda and Tiwary, 2001). The major air pollutants produced by open pit mining are suspended particulate matter and respirable particulate matter (Sinha and Banerjee, 1997;CMRI, 1998), which is in contrast to vehicular emissions where lead and gaseous pollutants are the major concern (Meenalbal and Akil, 2000;Almbauer et al, 2001).…”

This investigation presents the assessment of ambient air quality carried out at an open pit coal mining area in Orissa state of India. The 24-h average concentrations of suspended particulate matter (SPM), respirable particulate matter (RPM, particles of less than 10 microm aerodynamic diameter), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and oxides of nitrogen (NO(x)) were determined at regular interval throughout one year at 13 monitoring stations in residential area and four stations in mining/industrial area. During the study period, the 24-h and annual average SPM and RPM concentrations exceeded the respective standards set in the Indian ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) protocol in most of the residential and industrial areas. However, the 24-h and annual average concentrations of SO2 and NO(x) were well within the prescribed limit of the NAAQS in both residential and industrial areas. A management strategy is formulated for effective control of particulate matter at source and other mitigative measures are recommended including implementation of green belts around the sensitive areas.

“…A high percentage of airborne suspended particulate matter (SPM) is generated due to largescale mechanisation of opencast mining, in contrast to vehicular emissions where gaseous pollutants are the major concern (Meenalbal & Akil 2000;Almbauer et al 2001). Underground mining impacts directly on the health of those working underground.…”

An extension of the matter-element method was applied to estimate ambient air quality in Haizhou opencast colliery in Fuxin coal mine. Air pollutants data such as sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, total suspended particulates, particulate matter and dustfall were collected at four different air-quality monitoring stations located in four districts around the Fuxin colliery. Results show that total suspended particulates, particulate matter <10 µm, dustfall and sulphur dioxide were the predominant pollutants. Other pollutants such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides were also detected at the Fuxin colliery. Air pollution came mainly from industrial emissions, mining activities and abandoned gangue stockpiles (mine tailings).Compared to those applied to other mathematical assessment methods, it was demonstrated that the extension of the matter-element model was quite appropriate for air quality assessment.
