Answer:

Mining has adverse effects both on miner and environment.

Mining is necessary for minerals extraction , but at the same time it has some adverse effect on health

The effect of mining includes erosion,, formation ofsinkholes, loss of biodiversity, and contamination of soil, groundwater and surface water by chemicals from mining processes. Besides creating environmental damage, the contamination resulting from leakage of chemicals also affect the health of the local population .

Humans are also affected by mining. There are many diseases that can come from the pollutants that are released into the air and water during the mining process. For example, during smelting operations enormous quantities of air pollutants, such as the suspended particulate matter, SO arsenic particles and cadmium are emitted. Metals are usually emitted into the air as particulates.

There are also many occupational health hazards. Most of the miners suffer from various respiratory and skin diseases. Miners working in different types of mines suffer from asbestosis, silicosis, black lung disease etcMining is generally very destructive to the environment. It is one of the main causes of deforestation. In order to mine, trees and vegetation are cleared and burned. With the ground completely bare, large scale mining operations use huge bulldozers and excavators to extract the metals and minerals from the soil.
