Mining air quality and weather solutions

Monitor the impact of mining on air, water and land

Mining is central to economies around the world, supplying essential materials for the production of everything from microchips to luxury goods. But digging into the earth may also have a lasting impact on a community’s air, water and land.

Modern weather and environmental observation technology enables mines to be better prepared for sudden events and ensuring smooth mining operations safely and sustainably. Accurate measurement data and actionable insights means enhanced efficiency, healthier workers and better compliance with environmental regulations.
