environmental issues due to platinum mining. This is an alphabetical list of environmental issues, harmful aspects of human activity on the biophysical are loosely divided into causes, effects and mitigation, noting that effects are interconnected and can cause new effects.
Strip mining destroys landscapes, forests and wildlife habitats at the site of the mine when trees, plants, and topsoil are cleared from the mining area. This in turn leads to soil erosion and destruction of agricultural land. When rain washes the loosened top soil into streams, sediments pollute waterways.
The Effects of Platinum Mining on the Environment from a
Meanwhile Cheveley, who has been involved in developing ESGcompliant mining portfolios, such as the Global Environment Fund, explains that this particular fund, which incorporates ESG in the way it looks at companies, is an impact fund in that it pursues decarbonisation by taking advantage of the growing need for investment in decarbonisation due to climate change.

PLATINUMPGM MINING AND PROCESSING Potgietersrust due to the shallower depth of the reef.
The mining pits have created a public health disaster as well. When the pits fill with stagnant rainwater, they become infested with mosquitoes, spreading malaria and other waterborne diseases. Diamond mining has wreaked environmental havoc throughout Africa and other parts of the worldseverely scarring the land, soil and water. Further Reading
Gold Mining and the Environment. Dirty gold mining has ravaged landscapes, contaminated water supplies, and contributed to the destruction of vital ecosystems. Cyanide, mercury, and other toxic substances are regularly released into the environment due to dirty gold mining.
Mining can become more environmentally friendly through developing and integrating practices that reduce the adverse environmental impact of mining operations. Such good practices include; reducing inputs that include water and energy consumption, minimizing land disturbance, and waste production,
Dirty gold mining has ravaged landscapes, contaminated water supplies, and contributed to the destruction of vital ecosystems. Cyanide, mercury, and other toxic substances are regularly released into the environment due to dirty gold mining. Toxic Waste. Modern industrial gold mining destroys landscapes and creates huge amounts of toxic waste.
#0183;#32;Environmental pressure from mining activities such as those from the platinum sector occurs through the finegrounded slurry from the processing plants, with
Environmental and social impacts of mining have been welldocumented and an ample literature exists on this topic. The following discussion summarizes those environmental and social issues that formed the basis for the Mining and Critical Ecosystems framework. Environmental and social impacts are divided into waste management
#0183;#32;The growing popularity of platinum group metals (or PGMs, including platinum and palladium) for a wide range of applications leads to some interesting issues for mining and sustainability. The uses of PGMs includes catalytic converters for air pollution control in vehicles, growing jewellery use, catalysts for various purposes (especially petroleum and chemicals processing), hydrogen fuel
Environmental hazards due to rare earth mining. The dangers of mining rare earth metals are not limited to human and animal life. There is a lot of harm caused to the environment due to the hazardous toxic waste. If the mining, recycling and refining is not done responsibly, then the environmental
#0183;#32;Strip mining destroys landscapes, forests and wildlife habitats at the site of the mine when trees, plants, and topsoil are cleared from the mining area. This in turn leads to soil erosion and destruction of agricultural land. When rain washes the loosened
#0183;#32;Environmental pressure from mining activities such as those from the platinum sector occurs through the finegrounded slurry from the processing plants, with its associated extracting chemicals that reach the tailings disposal facility (TDF). It is important that the effects of these activities on the environment are examined, especially in South
A big environmental problem is mining. In this article, the causes, effects and solutions to the problem are presented. mining also contributes to the worldwide deforestation issue and the related harmful effects to our environment. Global warming. some of the vegetation cover is likely to be destroyed due to mining practices.
#0183;#32;Maastricht: ECDPM. The current turbulence in the mining industry in South Africa has its roots in several different factors. First, the fall in global demand for platinum and other minerals due to recession; second, the consequences of the Marikana disaster in destabilising labour relations; and third, the structural character of our mining
Dust, water pollution Smelting and refining Recovering platinum from concentrate Air pollution (dust, sulphur dioxide). Energy consumption (electric arc furnace, electrowinning) The main environmental impacts of platinum mining. Solid waste tailings dams and
Openpit mining in mines like Kimberley have created large deep pits which grew wider and filled up with water during rainfall it can increase up to 20 metres at times with heavy rain. An indirect effect of mining is the larger population increases strains in the water supplies
