view moreThe effects of dust on crops, grasslands, heathlands, trees and woodlands, arctic bryophyte and lichen communities are identified. Dust may affect photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration and allow the penetration of phytotoxic gaseous pollutants. Visible injury symptoms may occur and generally there is decreased productivity.

view moreRoads in quarries are often sprayed with water, especially in summer to reduce dust and internal route-ways are maintained and often surfaced to minimise expensive tyre wear and again, to reduce dust. Rubber and plastics are increasingly used to reduce wear on metal parts and lessen noise in vehicles and plant.
view moreIn mining and quarrying, water is used and gets polluted in a range of activities, including mineral processing, dust suppression, and slurry transport. In addition, water is subtracted from the environment in the process of dewatering, the process of pumping away the water that naturally flows into the pit or tunnels of the mine.

view moreExposure to dust in mining and quarrying continues to be a major risk to the health of workers. Breathing in dust, such as coal dust, silica dust and other finely powdered materials, can damage the lungs and airways. The risk to health varies depending on …
view moreConclusions: These preliminary findings, based on very few cases, suggest that cumulative inhalable bauxite exposure may be associated with an excess risk of death from non-malignant respiratory disease and that cumulative inhalable alumina dust exposure may be associated with an excess risk of death from cerebrovascular disease.
view moreBauxite dust is detrimental because it can decrease visibility and result in visual changes to the environment8. It can be deposited into machinery, reducing their life cycle and overall productivity. Bauxite dust is inhalable (respirable), and defined as dust particles less than 10μm in diameter or particulate matter of PM10and PM2.510.
view moreNoise, dust and the vibration caused by the regular passage of HGVs have the potential to damage the fabric of historic buildings, monuments and areas. Such traffic can also diminish our opportunities to enjoy and appreciate these assets. The surface disposal of mineral-working waste can prevent (or reduce) appreciation of historic sites.

view moreNo one can question the enormously positive impact that the bauxite/alumina industry has had on the Jamaican economy over the last 53 years. The sector is today the second largest foreign exchange earner, raking in some US$901 million last year (an 18 per cent increase over 2003), and creating significant linkages in the economy as well as providing quality …
view moreMining and quarrying can be very destructive to the environment. They have a direct impact on the countryside by leaving pits and heaps of waste material. The extraction processes can also contaminate air and water with sulfur dioxide and other pollutants, putting wildlife and local populations at risk.
