Mining companies mitigate air pollution by using dust suppression, reducing truck fleets, and adopting electric-powered equipment to minimize emissions.

Mining companies employ multiple strategies to address air pollution caused by dust, emissions, and particulates. Dust suppression technologies, such as water spraying systems, reduce airborne particles generated during blasting and transportation. Minimizing truck fleets and optimizing haul routes lower diesel emissions and fuel consumption. Transitioning to electric-powered or hybrid equipment further cuts greenhouse gas emissions and improves air quality. Additionally, enclosing processing facilities and using air filters help capture harmful pollutants. These measures, combined with adherence to environmental regulations, promote sustainable mining practices and reduce the industry's impact on local and global air quality.
