MANAGING THE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF MINING: IMPACTS AND SOLUTIONS

Abstract

The economic development of China has been significantly influenced by the discovery of natural resources; however, mining will always have a substantial negative impact on the environment.The impacts of open pit mining on ecosystems, geological settings, and land resources are examined in this research using a methodical methodology. Environmental and ecological system impacts of open pit mining are the major foci of the research. This is predicated on research into the elements that amplify the environmental disasters brought about by mining operations.The research shows that mining technique, mining extent, and mining type are the three most influential factors on ecology and the environment.The research concludes with a variety of potential logical defenses, control mechanisms, and countermeasures based on the research findings. The goal of all of these is to control and protect the environment.
