What are some environmental problems of roasting ores for metals?

Roasting ores = heating them in the presence of oxygen to get metals such as iron, copper, and lead.


Sulfur Dioxide SO2 is a by-product...|||By products range, SO2, oxides of Nitrogen, uses large amounts of energy so therefore produces large amounts of co2. Paritculate matter - eg soot which reduces air quality. Heavy metal contamination of air, soil and water. There are loads of issues.


This is a good website that outlines them
