Bauxite mining has become a controversial political issue in Malaysia. As the government implements a temporary ban on
This holds true especially in the developing world where illegal and unregulated mining is still being practiced. In Malaysia, annual production of bauxite ore
Bauxite is a rock that is mainly composed of various minerals. Most importantly, bauxite is the primary ore for aluminum. Aluminum is a very crucial element

1. Introduction Our laboratory is one of the regional centres funded by the IAEA in developing countries for the analysis of air pollution and geochemical exploration
Malaysia’s key natural resources include natural gas, petroleum, copper, tin, bauxite and iron ore. The country’s identified mineral resources other than its key natural resources include monazite, ilmenite, struverite, Fruitful
If any air monitor detects an unusual spike in airborne dust levels, an alarm goes off, alerting site workers. When levels exceed Health Canada guidelines,
In addition to the main iron ore mining activities, we are supported by a reliable transportation and logistics solution. We also offer unparalleled engineering
Noise from mining activities is generally louder than normal noise, & mining may take place all night long. Overburden clearance, blasting, drilling, crushing, excavation, loading &
The composition of heavy metals (and metalloid) in surface soils of iron ore mineimpacted areas has been evaluated of their potential ecological and human health risks. The mining areas included seven selected locations in the vicinity of active and abandoned iron oremining sites in Pahang, Malaysia. Heavy metals such as Fe, Mn, Cu,
These artisanal gold mining activities contribute to deforestation, land degradation, soil, water, and air pollution, and are responsible for the loss of the biodiversity (Amadou & Bouzou,
New report urges global action on mining pollution. On 5 November , a waste dam at an ironore mine in southeastern Brazil collapsed, unleashing a tide of slurry that killed 19 people, displaced hundreds more and polluted 650 kilometres of fertile valleys and estuaries before spewing into the ocean. Two years later, fishing communities near
One of the primary sources of land, water and air pollution is sterile mining dumps. Knowing the source of pollution is the first step in adequately managing the affected areas. This paper investigates the physical–chemical properties and the concentrations of heavy metals in sterile dumps resulting from mining.
Malaysia is a land rich in biodiversity and it needs to find a way to mine tin sustainably and not at the cost of environmental degradation; especially with climate change a growing worry. The labour
If any air monitor detects an unusual spike in airborne dust levels, an alarm goes off, alerting site workers. When levels exceed Health Canada guidelines, which are 159 µg/m 3 for PM10 or 333 µg/m 3 for TPS over a 15minute period, workers may water the affected area to reduce dust, shut the site down, or implement an emergency
The country exported up to 3.5 million tonnes of bauxite ore to China before the Malaysian government issued a moratorium in , which was subsequently lifted in November . The Malaysian AntiCorruption Commission seized about 10 million tonnes of bauxite in August . The commission estimated the stockpile to be worth

Press Release: December 2. The topic of dust pollution caused by mining activities is back on the agenda in Western Australia due to monitoring failures in Port Hedland and excessive levels of particulate discovered in the area close to the Newman Mine the world’s largest opencut iron ore mine.
Copper occurs in nature in the form of sulphide and oxide ores, salt minerals and as native copper. It is the second most used nonferrous metal in industry (Boulamanti and Moya, ).According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the global annual copper extraction was about 20 million tons (Fig. 1).The highest annual mining

KUALA LUMPUR: A new study by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) and Greenpeace Malaysia found that an estimated 32,000 avoidable deaths occur in Malaysia every year because of air pollution. Recent literature shows that the impact of longterm exposure to poor air quality on
The mining industry facing environment problems related to transportation are not being adequately addressed by existing research programs. The paper focuses on air quality impacts due to iron ore transportation from mines to destination plant. Also discusses on selection of suitable mode of system for existing site condition and their

The value of the gross output of the mining sector in Malaysia in amounted to RM10,667.2 million (approx. USD 2,575.6 million). 1. One of the main minerals mined in Malaysia is gold. The majority of these gold deposits are found in the eastern states of Pahang, Kelantan and Terengganu. Gold is an important resource and is commonly
Although lithium batteries are used as clean energy batteries, the mining and extraction process of lithium resources produces pollutants and has a great impact on the surrounding environment. The increase in demand for lithium batteries has also led to an increase in the demand for lithium resources mining in various countries.
