Air pollution caused due to mining activities
Answers
Explanation:
Air pollution in coal mines is mainly due to fugitive emissions of particulate matter and gases including methane, oxides of nitrogen etc. Mining operations have generated substantial quantity of airborne respirable dust, which has led to the development of respiratory diseases in mine workers

Water-pollution problems caused by mining include acid mine drainage, metal contamination, and increased sediment levels in streams. Sources can include active or abandoned surface and underground mines, processing plants, waste-disposal areas, haulage roads, or tailings ponds.
