Atmospheric Emissions in the Canadian Mineral Industry

Canada is an international leader in mining and related technologies. Metals and minerals are Canada’s second-largest earner of foreign exchange. Canadians, along with the rest of the world, are increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of mining activities. The Canadian Mineral industry has acknowledged the importance of its environmental responsibility by adopting a broad range of protective measures. This paper reviews the atmospheric impact of mining activities in Canada along with the initiatives taken by the Canadian governments (federal and provincial) and the Canadian Mineral industry to protect the environment. The paper will also review the evolution of air emissions in the Canadian Metals industry both in terms of green house gases and acid rain. Examples of mining companies that succeeded to reduce air emissions will also be discussed.
