I look at mining and health from various personal perspectives: that of the ordinary man (much of life depends on mined elements in the house, car and phone); as a member of the Society for Environmental Geochemistry and Health (environmental contamination and degradation leads to ill health in nearby communities); as a public health doctor ...

Throughout the mining and processing of minerals, the mined ore undergoes a number of crushing, grinding, cleaning, drying, and product sizing operations as it is processed into a marketable commodity. These operations are highly mechanized, and both individually and collectively these processes can generate large amounts of dust.

The updated mineral resource, which replaces the prior June 2020 estimate, now comprises 308.9 million tonnes grading 1.14% lithium oxide and 105 ppm tantalum pentoxide, containing 3.5 million ...

Residents of a Pilbara mining town say better research needs to be done to measure the health impacts of dust generated by the industry around them.

"A well-trained and experienced workforce contributes to the efficiency and safety of mining operations, further supporting the industry's competitiveness, while the use of advanced mining technologies, automation and data analytics enhances productivity, reduces operational costs and improves safety in mining," he said.

Mineral Resources has commenced early works at its Onslow Iron project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, a project that, according to Chris Ellison, will be "dust-free from pit-to-port". The early works at Onslow, formerly known as the Ashburton project, will support first ore on ship around December 2023, MinRes says.

human health, commercial and reputation risks as early as possible (CoA 2007). Reactive mineral waste can cause harm by: degrading water quality causing human health or ecological impacts; inhibiting vegetation establishment, posing a direct exposure risk to animals and humans; and degrading air qua lity through dust or gas emissions.

Australian lithium company Pilbara Minerals has announced a new A$1-billion debt facility in the form of a revolving credit facility (RFC) with a group of domestic and international banks.

In the early-to-mid 20 th century, in areas where mining dominated, it was common-place to have hospitals dedicated solely to treating the ailments and injuries of miners. Mining, back then, was especially back-breaking work, with few health and safety protections. Today, the need for these specialist facilities is, thankfully, reduced, especially in developed …

BHP has announced an A$300m investment over a five-year period to improve air quality as well as reduce dust emissions across its Pilbara operations.

Anthropogenic activity is related to several environmental imbalances, including dust. Particulate matter can also hinder humans with numerous health consequences, such as asthma, cancer, and pneumoconiosis. With a particular focus on mineral dust, this review is intended to determine in which circumstances occupational exposure occurs in the mining and …

Characterizing Health and Well-Being. The World Health Organization defines health as a "state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" [WHO 2006]. The Miner Health Program embraces this definition of health and envisions improved well-being for the entire mining population.

BHP plans to build a first-of-its-kind wind fence in Australia at the Finucane Island off the coast of Port Hedland to mitigate dust issues in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

This project will bring together scientists from different fields to discuss how climate change and the push for clean energy might worsen dust-related health problems for miners and look for ways to fill the gaps in knowledge on how mining dust affects health.
