Environmental Problems In Mining / Energy Development and Restructuring the Mining Environment

Environmental Problems In Mining / Energy Development

Environmental issues in mining land development can be explained in many ways. The following are environmental issues in mining land development:


a. According to the types produced there are among others oil and gas mining, mineral metals such as tin, gold, nickel, copper, manganese, mercury, iron, sulfur, etc. and organic materials such as coal, precious stones like diamonds, and so on.

b. The development and management of mining needs to be harmonized with the energy and fuel fields as well as with the processing of the region, accompanied by a thorough improvement of supervision.

c. The development and utilization of energy needs to be wise both for domestic export and own use and strategic energy supply capability in the long term. Because petroleum is the main source of energy use whose use continues to increase, while the amount of its supply is limited. Therefore it is necessary for the development of other energy sources such as coal, hydropower, hydropower, geothermal power, solar energy, nuclear power, and so on.

d. Environmental pollution as a result of mining management is generally caused by chemical factors, physical factors, biological factors. Environmental pollution is usually more than outside mining. The local soil, water and air conditions at the mine have a reciprocal interconnect with its surroundings. For example, CO pollution is heavily influenced by air diversity, pollution by heat pressure depending on local temperature, humidity and airflow.

e. Seeing the vast scope of mining development, ranging from mapping, exploration, exploitation of energy and mineral resources and research of mineral deposits, processing of mining products and possibly to the use of minerals that cause environmental disturbance, the need for attention and control of hazards environmental pollution and ecosystem balance changes, so that the vital sectors for this development can be sustained.

f. In petroleum mining and processing such as exploration, exploitation, production, refining, processing, transportation, and then selling them not free from hazards such as fire hazards, environmental pollution by oil materials that cause damage to flora and fauna, chemicals and the release of gases / vapors into the air in the process of purification and processing.

Framework to avoid the occurrence of environmental pollution accidents and disturbance of ecosystem balance whether it is in the mining environment or outside the mining environment, it is necessary environmental monitoring to:

1. The way of processing development and mining.
2. Mining accident.
3. Restructuring of the mining environment.
4. Pollution and possible diseases.

Restructuring the Mining Environment

A healthy environment program aims to achieve a healthier environment quality through the development of regional health system to drive the development of health-oriented cross-sectoral sectors. The main activities to achieve these objectives include:

a. Provision of clean water and basic sanitation facilities
b. Maintenance and supervision of environmental quality
c. Control of the impacts of environmental risks
d. Healthy area development.

The achievement of environmental sanitation objectives is the accumulation of various activities from various cross-sector, private and community role where the management of environmental health is the most complex handling, the activity is very related to each other that is from upstream of various cross-sector to participate (Industry, KLH , Agriculture, PU etc.) both policy and physical development and the Health department itself is focused on managing health impacts.
