摘要：Vietnam is a country rich in mineral resources, including coal, copper, oil, natural gas... Coal reserves, located mainly in the Quang Ninh province, have been estimated at 8.6 billion tons. Besides the economic and social benefits, coal mining has negative impacts on the environment, such as air and water pollution. This article presents study on application of remote sensing technique to evaluate air pollution on the mining area of Quang Ninh province, the northeastern coast of Vietnam, using multispectral image LANDSAT 5 TM. The results which are obtained in this study can be used to create air quality map, and to reduce environmental impacts of mining.
