Pollution of the environment may occur through the industrial and commercial activities of man. This happens when substances resulting from human activities enter the environment. The environment is said to be polluted when the concentration of these substances attain levels that may cause discomfort and/or harm to man, fauna, and fl ora of his environment. The pollution of the environment has been found to result from man's determination to match desire with

“…In addition to landscape, the region impacted by mining also focuses on: (1) impact of waste produced during mining and mineral processing on the environment [44]; (2) impact of heavy metals due to coal mining on regional ecological environment as well as on human or animal health [45][46][47];…”

Impacts of Large-Scale Open-Pit Coal Base on the Landscape Ecological Health of Semi-Arid Grasslands

Coal is an important energy resource in the world, especially in China. Extensive coal exploitation seriously damaged the grassland and its fragile ecosystem. However, temporal and spatial impact laws of open-pit coal exploitation on Landscape Ecological Health (LEH) of semi-arid grasslands are still not clear. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to study impact of Large-scale Open-pit Coal Base (LOCB) on the LEH of semi-arid grasslands from the perspectives of temporal and spatial. Taking Shengli LOCB of Xilinguole grassland in Inner Mongolia as an example, we demonstrate a conceptual model of LOCB impact on LEH of semi-arid grasslands, and establish a research system called landscape Index-pattern Evolution-Driving force-Spatial statistics (IEDS). A complete process integrated from investigation, monitoring, and evaluation to the analysis of impact laws was developed. Result indicated that coal mining causes gradual increase of landscape patches, landscape fragmentation, gradual decline of landscape connectivity, complexity and irregularity of landscape shape, enhancement of landscape heterogeneity and complexity, gradual decline of landscape stability, gradual decrease of grassland landscape and annual increase of unhealthy grassland landscape. The LEH of grassland basically belongs to the state of slight deterioration. In the past 15 years, the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of LEH in the study area are similar. This study provides scientific reference for ecological disturbance research, environmental protection, landscape planning, restoration and renovation of ecological environment in mining areas. At the same time, future research should integrate geological, hydrological, soil, vegetation, microorganisms, animals, climate, and other perspectives to study the impact of mining on landscape ecology deeply.

“…The hazard index (HI) value for children through all exposure pathways was 6.8 9 10 -1 , i.e., greater than HI value for adults (6.1 9 10 -2 ) by several folds. The higher hazard quotient and index values for children show that children are the vulnerable group to risk of metal toxicity in the area, as suggested by other studies in other areas (Grzetic and Ghariani 2008;Dinis and Fiuza 2011;Karim and Qureshi 2014;Kelepertzis 2014;Kumar et al 2014). The maximum total CDI for all exposure was recorded in Pb (1.3 9 10 -3 mg/kg/day) and minimum in Cd (7.5 9 10 -5 mg/kg/day).…”

In this study, geochemical, geospatial and exposure risk analyses were combined to assess the ecological vulnerability to toxic metals of topsoil around a metal recycling factory in southwestern Nigeria. Samples of topsoil around the facility were collected and analyzed for Cd, Zn, Pb and Fe by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Enrichment factors (EF) with reference to local background values were calculated to assess the extent of contamination of the topsoil. EF values showed that topsoil was moderately enriched with Cd and Zn, while the Pb level in the topsoil was close to the reference value. Spatial mapping of concentrations indicated potential ecological hazard (PEH) from Cd at the N, SW and SE of the factory; isolated zones of Pb within PEH at the N and SE, whereas 70 % of the area displayed Zn concentrations at the PEH threshold. Mapping of EF Cd showed a differential pattern of EF levels, with isolated hotspots of extreme and high enrichments at the N and S, respectively. Ninety-nine percent of the studied topsoil around the factor was minimally enriched in Pb, while EF Zn mapping indicated minimal to moderate enrichment. The immediate surroundings of the factory are moderately enriched in Zn, while the extreme N was minimally enriched. Exposure risk assessment gives an estimated hazard index that implies no current risk of health hazards for humans. However, it is advised that an effective pollution control should be implemented, because there is the possibility of increased hazard as production continues.
