Thesis Abstract



Abstract

This project examines the various environmental impacts associated with extracting and processing different raw materials. It explores how extracting industrial minerals, metals, and fossil fuels impacts air, water, soil and biodiversity. The energy demands and pollution outputs of processing mined materials into usable forms like steel, aluminum, plastics, and chemicals are analyzed. Case studies of lithium, cobalt, rare earth elements and oil extraction illustrate specific environmental problems. The project aims to raise awareness of how our daily lives rely on material extraction with significant environmental consequences.
