Mining has been a historically important driver of economic activity in Chile throughout modern history. Since the early 16th century, the Chilean mining industry has been active. Chile is a key global player in the production of metallic minerals and the world’s largest copper mine producer. Chile has competitive advantages in the production of several non-metallic minerals in high demand

The mining industry uses sulphuric acid in the extraction and treatment of copper. The extraction processes are called heap and situ leaching; during these processes, particles react with each other to create acidic mists that not only harm people’s skin, eyes and lungs, but also destroy crops, deteriorate the quality of the land, and damage nearby buildings. The acid dust both smells and
