Air Pollution

Cryptocurrency mining facilities often rely on fossil fuels, such as coal and natural gas, to power their operations. The burning of these fuels releases a range of pollutants into the air, including:

• Carbon dioxide (CO2): A greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.
• Particulate matter (PM): Small particles that can be inhaled deep into the lungs, exacerbating respiratory problems.
• Nitrogen oxides (NOx): Gases that contribute to air pollution and can exacerbate respiratory problems.
• Volatile organic compounds (VOCs): Gases that can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation.
