#0183;#32;Opencast mining changes geological, hydrological and geotechnical conditions. It influences the existing ecological system and landscape. The dust and noise affect not only the atmosphere and soil, but also the whole human living space in the exploited territories.
Dust was the most serious environmental impact category, and its contribution rate was %, followed by global warming and acidification with contribution rates of % and %, respectively. Both dust and global warming were mainly affected in mining stage in Yimin opencast coal mine based on comprehensive analysis of environmental impact.
