In addition, the environmental norms that regulate both pollutants and their permissible concentration to be released into water and air are discussed. A description is made of environmental monitoring and how the structures of a mine must be designed to also comply with environmental regulations. A comparative table of the norms of some countries is presented, regarding the parameters and limits of discharge to the air and water. Finally, comments and conclusions of this investigation are presented.]]></p></abstract>
