Air

At Cerrejón, we are committed to environmental protection, and we do this through rigorous air quality control. We have a network of 17 monitoring stations strategically located around our operations and nearby communities. These stations allow us to regularly monitor particulate matter levels and ensure that they do not exceed the limits set by regulations, reinforcing our commitment to the health and well-being of people and the environment.

Additionally, as part of our preventive actions to help reduce our environmental impact, we implement measures such as road watering, the use of low-flow sprinklers, and the moistening and leveling of train wagons. These techniques help reduce the dispersion of particles in the air. It is important to note that the moistening controls are carried out using mining water, which is not suitable for human, animal, or agricultural consumption.
