Phys.org Earth SciencesAccording to a recent article on Phys.org Earth Sciences, air pollution, a significant threat to human health, has an unexpected impact on the Great Barrier Reef. While efforts to reduce air pollution have improved human health, they inadvertently harm the reef. This is an important consideration for mining and exploration companies, as environmental factors can significantly impact project viability. As reported by Phys.org, the World Health Organization estimates that air pollution contributed to 4.2 million premature deaths in 2019, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to environmental management. Investors and industry professionals in the mineral exploration sector should be aware of these complex relationships between human health, environmental conservation, and the mining industry.
