Blasting Dust: The Pollution-Health Impact of Industrial Mining Developments 1: PUC-Chile; 2: IADB; 3: IMF; 4: University of Chile We study the pollution-health channel of the large-scale industrial mining developments leveraging exogenous variation in the geographical expansion of mineral leases in Chile over time and the distance to these installations. Using a battery of estimations in double differences and novel measures of expansion, we find a large negative impact of these developments on satellite-derived criteria air pollution concentrations within 50 km of these facilities, particularly SO$_2$. Later on, we link this increased pollution with the health outcomes of nearby communities. These results have important implications for the debate on the local welfare impact of mining developments | |
