Promoting safety of underground machinery operators through participatory ergonomics and fuzzy model analysis to foster sustainable mining practices.

Scientific reports
One of the most vital parameters to achieve sustainability in any field is encompassing the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) of the workers. In mining industry where heavy earth moving machineries are largely employed, ergonomic hazards turn out ...

Machine learning-based prediction of cadmium pollution in topsoil and identification of critical driving factors in a mining area.

Environmental geochemistry and health
Mining activities have resulted in a substantial accumulation of cadmium (Cd) in agricultural soils, particularly in southern China. Long-term Cd exposure can cause plant growth inhibition and various diseases. Rapid identification of the extent of s...

Radiological characterization of the tailings of an abandoned copper mine using a neural network and geostatistical analysis through the Co-Kriging method.

Environmental geochemistry and health
The radiological characterization of soil contaminated with natural radionuclides enables the classification of the area under investigation, the optimization of laboratory measurements, and informed decision-making on potential site remediation. Neu...

Evaluation of mine ecological environment based on fuzzy hierarchical analysis and grey relational degree.

Environmental research
In order to improve the level of mine ecological environment management and restoration, and to improve and enhance the overall environmental quality of mines. This study takes coal mine as the perspective, and constructs evaluation indexes in two st...

Integrated assessment of potentially toxic elements in soil of the Kangdian metallogenic province: A two-point machine learning approach.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
The accumulation of potentially toxic elements in soil poses significant risks to ecosystems and human well-being due to their inherent toxicity, widespread presence, and persistence. The Kangdian metallogenic province, famous for its iron-copper dep...

Artificial intelligence-based prediction model for the elemental occurrence form of tailings and mine wastes.

Environmental research
With the advent of the second industrial revolution, mining and metallurgical processes generate large volumes of tailings and mine wastes (TMW), which worsens global environmental pollution. Studying the occurrence of metal and metalloid elements in...

Mapping artisanal and small-scale mines at large scale from space with deep learning.

PloS one
Artisanal and small-scale mines (asm) are on the rise. They represent a crucial source of wealth for numerous communities but are rarely monitored or regulated. The main reason being the unavailability of reliable information on the precise location ...

Comprehensive evaluation of land reclamation schemes in mining areas based on linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy group decision-making.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Schemes to protect the geological environment and reclaim land are core requirements for an application for mining rights and complying with mining regulations. Mining enterprises must be supervised to ensure they fulfill their obligations. To guide ...

Fuzzy Risk-Based Maintenance Strategy with Safety Considerations for the Mining Industry.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Enterprises today are increasingly seeking maintenance management strategies to ensure that their machines run faultlessly. This problem is particularly relevant in the mining sector, due to the demanding working conditions of underground mines and m...
