Mining is one of the most environment degrading industries. The adverse environmental impacts of mining operation commence with mineral exploration extend through extraction and processing and often continue post closure of the operation. Land degradation large scale denudation of forest cover and depletion of biodiversity pollution of air water and soil and degradation of agricultural land are some of the serious environmental implications of the mining activity. The impacts extend well beyond the mining area and lead to many social economic and political perturbations. In order to mitigate the adverse impacts of mining and rehabilitate the mining affected areas it is important to understand various problems of mining environment and their management. This book is designed to provide insights into some of the important aspects of mining environment. The 16 chapters contributed by experts deal with diverse topics ranging from status of minerals and mining in India to environmental problems and their remediation. Policies regulations and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) pertaining to mining are also discussed. The EIA notification and an exhaustive glossary of mining environment are appended for the benefit of diverse user groups. Primarily intended for use by students are researchers in the subject area it can be profitably used by mining managers planners and policy makers and general readers with an interest in environmental quality. 278 pp.…
