This book entitled "Mining Impacts and their Environmental Problems" presents a comprehensive view on various mining activities and a wide spectrum of environmental challenges associated with it. Case studies presented across global south such as Asia, Africa, and Latin America, are the first of its kind which presents a holistic and deep insight (into instead of about?) about this pressing environmental issue. In this book, thirteen chapters present various issues ranging from gold, silver, chromium, lead, coal mining, and its impacts on ambient environmental (soil, water, biodiversity) degradation and ultimately on(healthy living environment instead of human health living? ) human health living in the surrounding area. For this purpose, (different methodologies have been used) they have used different methodologies( for example instead of like using) like using (a) water quality index, hydro-chemical characterization, numerical simulation to identify the extent of pollution caused(by instead of due to?) due to mining activities. Later it (the book) advocates the usage of advance mining technologies such as advanced oxidation processes, decarbonization technologies and a biotechnological approach for the treatment of wastewater being generated due to mining activities or minimizing overall environmental degradation. Finally, it emphasizes on assessing risk zone delineation, vulnerability analysis using cutting edge tools like numerical simulation, GIS and remote sensing, which will help designing robust management plans and sustainable transitions, critically helpful for policy makers or decision makers.

本書名為《採礦影響及其環境問題》,全面探討各種採礦活動及其相關的環境挑戰。書中呈現的案例研究來自全球南方地區,如亞洲、非洲和拉丁美洲,這是首個提供對這一緊迫環境問題的整體和深入見解的研究。本書的十三章涵蓋了從金、銀、鉻、鉛、煤礦開採及其對周圍環境(如土壤、水源、生物多樣性)退化的影響,最終影響到周邊地區人類健康的各種議題。為此,研究者使用了不同的方法論,例如水質指數、水文化學特徵分析、數值模擬等,以識別採礦活動所造成的污染程度。隨後,本書提倡使用先進的採礦技術,如先進氧化過程、脫碳技術以及生物技術方法來處理因採礦活動產生的廢水,或減少整體環境退化。最後,本書強調使用尖端工具如數值模擬、地理資訊系統(GIS)和遙感技術來評估風險區域劃定和脆弱性分析,這將有助於設計穩健的管理計劃和可持續轉型,對政策制定者或決策者極具幫助。
