This edition, containing 28,500 terms, incorporates the technological developments and environmental regulations that have changed the minerals industry so dramatically. It culminates a 5-year effort to incorporate not only standard mining-related terms but also terms in peripheral areas, such as the environment, marine mining, leaching, pollution, automation, and health and safety. Many of these terms now have a legal definition based on law or regulation.
