Mining and metallurgical processes are burdensome to the environment, mainly due to large bulk ofmaterial to be transported and processed. It is impossible to contain such extensive activities within a limited area so the spheres of influence cover considerable areas, even changing the landscape. The primary non-ferrous industries are particular examples of this, as non-ferrous ores contains only a few percent ofmetals. The rest of extracted mineral has to eliminate gradually in the successive stages of production. Thus, it is technology that decides the quality of the streams of separated waste and their total amount cannot deny the law ofmass conversation.}, type={article}, title={Cost-benefit analysis for the assessment of environmental aspects of mining industry}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/132585/PDF/12_GSM_19_4_2003_Kulczycka_Cost_benefit.pdf}, keywords={Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), cost-benefit analysis (CBA), mining waste management}, }
