Pollution due to smelting Emily Donley

What is smelting exactly? Taking ore that has been mined, and separating the precious metal from the rock This is done using heat, which separates the components based on melting point Created waste called slag

pollution from Smelting Toxic gases released into the air Lots of smoke Deforestation Health risks for workers
