Emergy Evaluation of Pollutants Emission in Coal Mine: A Case Study of DaLiuTa Mine in Northern Shaanxi Province, China.

Abstract:

Based on emergy theory and calculation methods of emergy values, the environmental support due to pollutants emission was estimated in the DaLiuTa coal mine located in the northern China. The negative effects of waste emission were analyzed from changes of production scale in the mine ecosystem. Moreover, the impacts on environment and potential effects on human health caused by pollutants emission from coal mining wastes were assessed using an index of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) in emergy unit so that sustainability of the mining ecological systems was evaluated on a uniform standard.
