The dust and toxic fumes in deposits result in many consumptive disorders among laborers. Laborers also are under fulmination of dropping mining roofs and flood by water and also fires in coal mines. The dust from landmines and also transportation produces severe air pollution. The dumping of trash, landfill and slurry pollute water bodies and also the loam around mining towns.
By executing strict safety laws and environmental laws, mining can be a protected industry. Also, guaranteeing adherence to these regulations will only make it reliable and the label of 'killer industry' will be eliminated.
A conscious attempt necessitates being made in order to utilize our mineral reserves in an organized and sustainable manner. Improved technologies need to be continually emerged to allow the management of low-grade minerals at low costs. Recycling of minerals, using particle metals and other assistants are advanced in maintaining our mineral resources for the future.
