Blasting. Blasting involves the use of chemical explosives, such as ammonium nitrate-fuel oil, to break apart the rock. Explosions release CO 2, water vapor, and nitrogen oxides (NOx).While CO 2 is a major component, NOx contributes to the formation of tropospheric ozone, a potent greenhouse gas. The immediate release of gases post-blast poses both …
