| Description | Actual mining involves drilling, blasting, mucking, and the various operations necessary to remove the ore and to transport miners. In recent years improvement in these processes has come largely through greater energy efficiency, higher labor productivity, especially through the replacement of man by machines, continuous production methods, increased durability of equipment, and operating flexibility. In mining excavation, drilling and blasting are still the standard processes, but the used equipment produces high noise levels. Noise pollution is more intense in the work environment than in the general environment, although ambient noise increased an average of one dB per year during the 1980s. The average background noise in a typical home today is between 40 and 50 decibels. This paper analyzes the mining excavation equipment used or in development, as conventional mechanical drilling rigs, jet piercing, water jet technology, diamond wires and others in respect to it environmental noise levels, and wishes to suggest some ways for the future issues in this field.
