摘要:Vietnam is a country rich in mineral resources, including coal, copper, oil, natural gas etc. Coal reserves, located mainly in the Quang Ninh province, have been estimated as high as 8.6 billion tons. Alongside with 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 for evaluation of air pollution influence on the mining area of Quang Ninh province, the northeastern coast of Vietnam, using multispectral image LANDSAT 5 TM. The results obtained in this study can be used to create air quality map, and to reduce environmental impacts of mining.
