AÇIK MADEN İŞLETMELERİNDE PARTİKÜL MADDE SALINIMI: LİTERATÜR ARAŞTIRMASI

Abstract

Pollution due to particulate matter can harm human health and the environment. One of the particulate matter sources is the mining industry. Depending on the type of activity (drilling, blasting, loading, hauling, dozing, crushing, screening, etc.), various levels of PM emission occurs in surface mining operations. For this reason, it is important to measure the PM emission values of each ongoing activity, evaluate them by taking into consideration the limit values specified in the relevant legislation and to plan preventive/mitigating measures. When the studies conducted on the subject were examined, it was found out that the equations modeling the PM emission, which may occur according to the type of activity carried out in surface mines, were developed but they varied even for the same activity among different mines. For this reason, it was concluded that PM emission values are specific to the surface mines, that continuous emission measurement will provide more accurate results, and therefore, as the most realistic approach, separate PM emission modeling should be done for each activity carried out in a surface mine.
