Environmental Risk Assessment of Mining Development in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region

Abstract

Environmental risk assessment in the mining resources development has to be assessed in terms of sustainability gap in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Consequently, this paper attempts to predict the amount of environmental risk and the subsequent economic impact on Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. For this reason, this paper aims to find the patterns of environmental risk that will lead to efficiency improvement in the entire mining industry. Through this study, major environmental problems of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region have been identified, and the environmental risk evaluation model and close value method is applied to the analysis of the environment of atmosphere, surface water, noise, surface destruction and coal wasting accumulation in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The results show that except noise, the environment of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region faces significant pressure and need to be acknowledged. It is urgent to develop energy-saving and energy-harvesting technologies for mining industrial sectors in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
