Mining and burning coal impacts on our scarce water resources: Our scarce water resources are impacted throughout the coal life-cycle including direct impacts on water quality during coal mining; impacts of air pollutants on water resources and coal ash contamination of groundwater. However, acid-mine drainage has the most severe impact,

Environmental impacts of mining can occur at local, regional, and global scales through direct and indirect mining practices. Impacts can result in erosion, sinkholes, loss of biodiversity, or the contamination of soil, groundwater, and surface water by the chemicals emitted from mining processes. These processes also have an impact on the atmosphere from the emissions of carbon which have ...

Extensive coal mining activity in the buffer zone of the Nokrek Biosphere Reserve (NBR) in Meghalaya, India, has led to habitat degradation and a landscape dotted with mine spoils.

"The mechanization of mining has become so advanced, that there are not that many human jobs that are required anymore to run a coal mine," Hendryx explained. As a result, communities are left with fewer job opportunities as well as greater adverse health effects. Coal has been the cause of major health issues in China as well.

Coal Mining. Health effects from coal mining include: the release of methane (CH 4), a potent greenhouse gas estimated to account for 18% of the overall global warming effect triggered by human activities (CO 2 is estimated to contribute 50%).; the release of carbon monoxide (CO) from explosives, which pollutes the air and poses a health risk for mine workers.
