Assessment of Air Pollution Caused by Coal Based Thermal Power Plants in -Mining and Coalthe Singrauli Region of India

The Singrauli region of India, located in Madhya Pradesh is widely known as the energy capital of India due to the presence based thermal power plants. These industries play an important role in electricity generation and -of numerous coal mines and coalnts of coal economic development, but they also contribute significantly to environmental pollution, especially air pollution. Large amouate fly ash cast coal mining, blasting, and transportation activities, while thermal power plants gener-dust are released during open during the burning of coal. These fine particles, including PM2.5 and PM10, spread in the atmosphere and make the surroundingopulation, environment dusty and polluted. Continuous exposure to coal dust and fly ash has serious impacts on the health of the local petation and causing respiratory problems such as asthma, bronchitis, and breathing difficulties. In addition, dust deposition affects vegiques, proper disturbs the ecological balance of the region. Therefore, effective pollution control measures such as dust suppression technollution and fly ash management, installation of electrostatic precipitators, and development of green belts are necessary to reduce air pprotect both the environment and public health in the Singrauli region
