This drone is capable of flying in altitudes up to 5000 meters above sea level, wind velocities of up to 30 km/h, resistant to rain and extreme climates. This drone is adequate for working in the harsh conditions where mining operations usually take place. It carries a load which monitors the concentration of particulate matter and pollutant gasses. The collected data is then transformed into a real time contamination map.
