At present in the north of Colombia country there are many coal opencast mines operating on the Andes mountain feet. The topography in this zone is characterized by important peaks and large valleys and this allow the occurrence of micrometeorological phenomena that influence the air quality of the area. All the coal opencast mines produces approxi...
The spatial and temporal variability of TSP and PM10 were studied during the period from 2012 to 2016 in one of the largest opencast coal mines in the world (El Cerrejón) located in northeastern Colombia. The results showed average concentrations of TSP and PM10 of 86 µgm-3 (CI95% 84-88 µgm-3) and 34 µgm-3 (CI95% 33-35 µgm-3), respectively. It was...
In this study, intake fraction was determined to provide insight into population exposures to PM10 that 11 is effectively inhaled due to emissions of an opencast coal mine. We applied the CALPUFF model to a 12 coal mine in northern Colombia, which has 6 active pits with an annual production of 33.7 Million Ton. 13 An estimated the intake fraction f...
The Cerrejon coal mine in the north of Colombia is one of the largest open pits in South America. The Cerrejon has an air quality monitoring network with over 30 years of records of the levels of particulate material. Between January 2012 and November 2013, the mean daily concentrations of PM10 were registered
in eight stations of the air quality m...

Fugitive material has been identified as the main source of air pollution, especially total suspended particulate (TSP) and particulate matter less than 10 micrometers (PM10) in open pit mining. The aim of this research was to estimate the concentration of PM10 and measure the impact of coal piles on nearby populations. The sources under considerat...
The contributions of PM10 to the environment were determined in a mining industrial zone in northern Colombia for activities involved in storing 3.2 Mton of coal. As the main modeling tool the software CALPUFF was used to determine the contribution of PM10 for 10 days modeling during a month period. Ambient concentrations of PM10 in five receivers...
Water quality in tributaries points of the river Cesar such as the Calenturitas river, Maracas river and Tucuy river and using aquatic macroinvertebrates as bioindicators and applying the biotic index BMWP/Col (Biological Monitoring Working Party score) adapted to Colombia by Roldan has been assessed. Five sampling stations were established, conduc...
Se determinó la eficiencia en la reducción de emisiones de PM10 en un Pit de la zona norte de Colombia, con producción anual de 4.46 Mton de carbón, como estrategia de planeación en actividades de control operacional para el riego de vías destapadas y uso de aspersores enmarcada en la gestión ambiental durante los días de precipitaciones nulas. Se...
El sistema de modelado CALPUFF utiliza un enfoque de estado no estacionario para simular la dispersión de contaminantes en variabilidad de espacio y tiempo (Scire et al., 2000). El modelo ha sido utilizado por muchos investigadores para predecir y modelar diversos contaminantes en el aire como material particulado (Ghannam et al., 2013) y CO (Herná...
En el presente trabajo se realizó el cálculo de las emisiones de polvo fugitivo (PST) que se generan en el proceso de transporte de carbón mineral a través del sistema ferroviario de la región caribe colombiana; el cual, en la actualidad es empleado por las empresas carboníferas del departamento del Cesar para transportar aproximadamente 50 millone...
En este trabajo se estudió el aporte de PM10 por actividades implicadas en el almacenamiento de carbón en la Mina a cielo abierto del Cerrejón ubicada al norte de Colombia. Para estimar el aporte de material particulado se utilizó el sistema de modelización la calidad del aire y meteorológica Calpuff. Para estimar las emisiones de PM10 se utilizaro...
En la zona minera del departamento del Cesar, se realizó un análisis de componentes principales a los resultados obtenidos en la caracterización química de filtros de material particulado PM10 de las principales estaciones de monitoreo del Sistema de Vigilancia de Calidad del Aire del departamento del Cesar, SVCADC. El estudio realizado a los resul...
In the coal mining zone in the department of Cesar (Colombia), the programs MM5, CALMET and CALPUFF were used to simulate the PM10 contribution of the mining projects PLJ, Norcarbón and the Hatillo; with the objective of compare the results of the dispersion model CALPUFF with the registers of monitoring of the zone and evaluate this dispersion mod...
In the coal mining zone in the department of Cesar (Colombia), the programs MM5, CALMET and CALPUFF were used to simulate the PM10 contribution of the mining projects PLJ, Norcarbón and Hatillo. The objective was to compare results of CALPUFF dispersion model with the registers of monitoring of the zone and to evaluate this dispersion model in two...

The concentrations of total suspended particles (TSP) and particles with size below 10 and 2.5 micrometers (PM10 and PM2.5) in the urban area of the city of Riohacha in Colombia were determined. The instruments used were a high-volume sampler for TSP and PM10 and a low-volume sampler (Partisol) for PM2.5, all in six monitoring stations. The results...
This article presents a literature review about the quantification and characterization of total suspended particles (TSP) and inhalable particulate matter (PM 10) generated in open pit coal mining areas. Particle matter is a complex pollutant due to its physical characteristics (particle size distribution, morphology and density) and its chemical...
En este trabajo se aplicó el programa de dispersión atmosférica WKBK2. Se estudió la variación espacial de las concentraciones de PM10, CO, CH4, NOx, COV y HAP emitida desde una estación modular de compresión, tratamiento y medición de gas natural ubicada al norte de Colombia. Los escenarios de modelación incluyeron los datos de emisiones de la fue...

To determine the contribution of the ocean to the organic and inorganic elements present in the chemical composition of the PM10 and PM2.5 particulate material measured in outdoor and indoor of the urban area of the city of Riohacha.
Determinar el impacto ambiental a mesoescala de la explotación de carbón a cielo abierto en la región norte de Colombia empleando herramientas de modelación atmosférica
Caracterización física y química del MP, a través de técnicas de análisis como ICP-MS, EDXRF, analizadores de carbón elemental y orgánico TOR, cromatografía de iones y analizadores de distribución de tamaño de partícula para conocer su composición. Una vez se hayan seleccionado las fuentes y los receptores y colectado las muestras, estas se irán analizando en los laboratorios de las instituciones participantes (en caso de no existir los equipos en estas entidades se harán los análisis en otros laboratorios especializados). El número de muestras a analizar, deben ser por lo menos 720 muestras que corresponden a una cada tres días (como lo dice la norma nacional de calidad del aire) en seis (6) receptores; 120 muestras durante un año de monitoreo. Se aplicarán los modelos de receptor PMF y CMB, para determinar cuál es el aporte que hace la actividad minera en la zona al PM10 atmosférico. Se seleccionaron estos modelos, dadas sus amplias aplicaciones y porque son complementarios.
