“…From the open cast mining, a massive amount of gaseous pollutant, toxic substance, ne ore particles and dust releases to the environment ). These releases pollutants mix with atmosphere and transported long distance through air from mine area and leads to pollution in the surrounding undisturbed area (Ni et al, 2018;Khazini et al, 2021) Green vegetation around the mining area can act as an eco-friendly and cost-effective tool to reduce pollution. In polluted environment, green plant play a crucial function in improving environmental quality by accumulating toxic pollutant (Gheorghe and Ion 2011; Kaur and Nagpal, 2017).…”

Plant species sustaining under a polluted environment for long time are considered as potentially resistant species. Those plant species can be considered as an eco-sustainable tool used to bio-monitor and mitigate pollution. This study was carried out on total ten commonly available plant species to assess their anticipated performance index (API), Dust capturing capacity (DCC) and Metal accumulation index (MAI) in chromite mine and control area. According to Anticipated performance index (API) Macranga peltata, Holarrhena pubescens and Ficus hispida are highly tolerant species while Terminalia arjuna and Trema orientalis are intermediate tolerant species. Ficus hispida was also showed the highest dust capturing capacity (5.94 ± 0.43 mg/cm 2 ) and whereas Woodfordia fruticosa (1.03 ± 0.11 mg/cm 2 ) was found to be lowest. Metal accumulation index ranged from 17.29 to 4.5 and 6.38 to 1.94 at mine and control area respectively. Two-way ANOVA analysis revealed area wise signi cant differences between biochemical and physiological parameters. Also, result showed that the pollution level and heavy metal affected different biochemical and physiological parameter of plant species at mining area. The plant species with highest API, DCC and MAI value could be recommended for greenbelt development in different polluted area.

“…Iron ore transportation was the major source of generation of particulate matter as recorded by different researchers (Chaulya , 2019;Kumar and Kumar, 2015;Chaulya, 2006;ELAW, 2010;Singh , 2010;Trivedi , 2010). The highest concentration of particulate matter was noticed in the active mining region and slowly reduced towards periphery due to dispersion, et al et al et al deposition and transportation of particles as reported by various workers (Khazini , 2022;Chaulya, 2004;Chaulya , 2002;Ermak, 1977).…”

Joda- Barbil region of the Keonjhar District, Odisha is blessed with vast natural resources especially, high-grade iron and manganese ore deposits, due to which it has occupied a vital position in the mineral map of India. Mining of minerals resources is an important commercial activity indispensable for the economic development of a nation. Opencast iron ore mining and other ancillary activities influence the adjoining ecology and environment. Numbers of environmental issues are arising due to unscientific widespread opencast mining activities and have a direct impact on other natural resources like land, water, soil, air, flora and fauna. Ambient air gets severely affected due to the addition of fugitive dust and other pollutants directly or indirectly at every stage of mining activity starting from exploration, exploitation and mineral beneficiation. All forms of pollutants reduce the ambient air quality and enhance the health risk of the people living nearby villages. Increasing air pollution levels in the mining region can have immediate effects on the health of indigenous community and also on flora. A Kriging interpolation method has been applied to monitor the ambient air quality in opencast iron ore mining region of Keonjhar district. This practice is very useful for sustainable and eco-friendly mining as it is cost-effective and time-saving techniques and can interpret the spatial dispersion of pollution levels in un-sampled regions. Kriging interpolation analysis revealed that the ambient air quality level during the year 2005 to 2008 were high around Barbil, Thakurani and Noamundi. Keywords: Ambient Air Pollutants, Opencast Mining, Kriging Interpolation, Keonjhar District

“…For example, several studies have shown that mining activities (particularly those involving the extraction of minerals such as coal) negatively influence people in southern Brazil (Honscha et al, 2022). Another example is copper mining in Iran (specifically, the Arasbaran forest region), which was discovered to negatively influence the region's wildlife after extensive research (Khazini et al, 2022).…”

Air is necessary for human survival and the preservation of the environment. The scientific community is concerned about the ongoing rapid expansion of the population, which uses resources faster, and thus the accumulation of an enormous amount of waste will gradually worsen the air quality. The change in the pollutants released in the atmosphere became more complex throughout human history, and they were released in huge quantities. The sources of air pollution vary greatly – from burning fuel, the household, agricultural or mining activities to natural disasters or significant industrial accidents. New techniques that monitor the air composition are being developed to ensure air quality control. The population exposed to these harmful compounds is predisposed to various health concerns, including skin, cardiovascular, brain, blood, and lung illnesses. The substances also contribute to global warming, acid rains and ozone depletion. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was noticed that reducing human activities causing pollution leads to improved air quality, which shows that long-term solutions can also be found. This paper aims to offer an overview of the air pollution problems persisting around the globe and present the current state, causes and evolution of air pollution. Some of the solutions we propose in this article include energy-saving, public transportation and material recycling. We also emphasize the need to develop new technologies to control the air quality and implement a sustainable approach.
