Mining activities have the potential to release different types of airborne pollutants which can impact air quality. These emissions are often regulated by national and local legislation and SSR sites often have to follow specific standards as part of their permits. Our emissions in 2020 were within permitted levels.
2020 is the first year SSR began disclosing on air emissions data.
