Abstract
AbstractAs a part of value addition, one organisation is planning to set up 0.6 MTPA pelletisation unit by collecting the rejected iron ore fines and preparing them into desirable sizes of pellets. The objective of this study is to assess the adverse impact due to emission on the environment in the study area, which can arise due to the proposed project activities. Based on the results of assessment various mitigation measures are planned. Various adverse impacts mainly due to point source emission from stacks and fugitive emission from different area source. Ground level concentrations (GLC) of different pollutants are predicted using USEPA and MoEFFCC recognised software AERMOD ISCST Version 3 by Lakes Environment, Canada. Different input data of control, source and emission, receptor, meteorological source are to be fed to the model. Accordingly, the output results are obtained and are shown graphically as different pollutant isopleths. In order to control the pollutant emission, the different mitigation measure will be planned so that the predicted GLC will be under National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) norms.KeywordsPelletisationImpactsMitigation measureIsoplethGLC
