Manejo de material particulado

– Form and establish a multidisciplinary research team and network in Chile, as a point of reference

in the subject of particulate matter in mining, with the capacity to study and propose solutions

based on scientific knowledge to the different aspects related to the problem of particulate

matter originating from mining activities.

– Support the industry in managing particulate matter appropriately and in line with international

standards, identifying areas for improvement and proposing scientific-technical solutions.

– Generate scientific knowledge to support decision-making in the management of particulate

matter in industry and public government entities. This with the ultimate goal of generating

technologies and knowledge to mitigate the problems and harmful effects of particulate matter

on ecosystems and the health of workers and communities that inhabit the vicinity of mining

operations, ultimately resulting in an improvement in their quality of life.

– Contribute to the training of Chilean scientists who are experts in the management and impacts of

particulate matter in mining.
