“…Concentrations of SO 2 and NO 2 due to mining activities generally remain within the standard limit (CSIR-CIMFR, 2017). Thus, the control of dust emission is a matter of utmost importance for any mining region as it contains free silica and respirable particulate matter which causes lung diseases [8,9,10].…”

The technological developments affect mining sector directly since the machineries and equipment used in this sector changes along with constantly developing technology. So, the risks of occupational accidents and occupational diseases are quite high in this sector. It is necessary to focus on occupational health and safety in the mining sector regarding the machineries and equipment used. This study was carried out in an open pit mine of boron minerals with class of very dangerous in the scope of occupational health and safety. The workplace on scope is evaluated in terms of the health and safety risks of employees. In this context, one of the major types of risk is dust, originated from machineries and equipment. The stages of open pit operation, crushing, screening, grinding and bagging are evaluated regarding dust formation and control. Risks that may arise due to the use of equipment and preventative measures have been determined. Such studies impose great affect in the development of occupational health and safety with the developing mining sector and prevention of accidents that may occur.

“…Thus, the temporal or seasonal variations of ambient air quality in the study region may be related to meteorological parameters (Chaulya, 2004). Iron ore transportation was the major source of generation of particulate matter as recorded by different researchers (Chaulya , 2019;Kumar and Kumar, 2015;Chaulya, 2006;ELAW, 2010;Singh , 2010;Trivedi , 2010). The highest concentration of particulate matter was noticed in the active mining region and slowly reduced towards periphery due to dispersion, et al et al et al deposition and transportation of particles as reported by various workers (Khazini , 2022;Chaulya, 2004;Chaulya , 2002;Ermak, 1977).…”

“…All forms of pollutants reduce the quality of air and enhance the health risk of the people in the surrounding village. Rising of air pollution level in mining sectors can have immediate effects on the health of local people as air contains free silica and respirable particulate matter which causes lung diseases, allergy and asthma (Kumar and Kumar, 2015;Dadhich , 2018). Exposure to airborne particulate in the atmosphere leads to the increasing premature mortality and range of inflammatory illnesses and morbidity through the respiratory disease (Hopke, 2009;Sneha , 2012;Patra , 2021).…”

“…Air pollution also influences the flora and fauna by reducing the photosynthesis processes which lower down the reproduction capabilities and productivity (Nanda and Tiwary, 2001). Therefore, it is high time to control the air pollution in the mining region as air loaded with free silica and respirable particulate matter for which flora and fauna suffer from several health problems (Kumar and Kumar, 2015;Chaulya , 2019). So, this paper has attempted to address the mining-related air pollution due to dispersion of airborne particulate matter in and around the habitats located in the mining sector of the Keonjhar district.…”

Joda- Barbil region of the Keonjhar District, Odisha is blessed with vast natural resources especially, high-grade iron and manganese ore deposits, due to which it has occupied a vital position in the mineral map of India. Mining of minerals resources is an important commercial activity indispensable for the economic development of a nation. Opencast iron ore mining and other ancillary activities influence the adjoining ecology and environment. Numbers of environmental issues are arising due to unscientific widespread opencast mining activities and have a direct impact on other natural resources like land, water, soil, air, flora and fauna. Ambient air gets severely affected due to the addition of fugitive dust and other pollutants directly or indirectly at every stage of mining activity starting from exploration, exploitation and mineral beneficiation. All forms of pollutants reduce the ambient air quality and enhance the health risk of the people living nearby villages. Increasing air pollution levels in the mining region can have immediate effects on the health of indigenous community and also on flora. A Kriging interpolation method has been applied to monitor the ambient air quality in opencast iron ore mining region of Keonjhar district. This practice is very useful for sustainable and eco-friendly mining as it is cost-effective and time-saving techniques and can interpret the spatial dispersion of pollution levels in un-sampled regions. Kriging interpolation analysis revealed that the ambient air quality level during the year 2005 to 2008 were high around Barbil, Thakurani and Noamundi.
