Application of Cumulative Effects Analysis to the Study on Environmental Safety in Mining Area
Mineral resources exploration is a regional activity which influence on environment. The environmental impact of regional development is the all environmental impact of development activities cumulate during the time and space scale. It is the cumulative effects always causes the worsening of environment and induce the problem of environmental safety. Since the effect of mining on environmental safety system is very complicated, Therefore, an effective method is necessary to carry on a systematic study. CEA (Cumulative Effects Analysis) is a system analysis and assessment process of an accumulating variation of environmental system. And it is an effective way to study the environmental safety in mining area. In this paper, the author set up a cumulative analysis conceptual model of mining areas environmental safety system, and the process and mechanism of environmental safety problems occurring in mining area are described and explained by the conceptual model. The model hypothesizes that, as minerals exploration activities increases, changes in environmental components or processes manifest themselves as cumulative effects, and that these effects accumulate at broader temporal and spatial scales.
