Question

How is the mining activity injurious to the health of the miners and environment? Explain. 

Answer 1

Mining activity is injurious for the health of the miners as for mining the miners need to explode TNT's in the mining areas which are generally congested and those explosions can sometimes kill the miners inside and inhaling the gases released by the explosions can cause different diseases related to lungs like tuberculosis,etc. The environment gets harmed by those explosions as the gases released by those explosions cause air pollution,and mining also disturbs the land where it is done as when the mining material is taken out the land is left emptied this makes it weaker

Answer 2

mining is hazardous to the health of miner as

>the dust particles released from mining activities cause water pollution,it forms a layer in the soil near it and does not allow water to perculate into the soil.

>these dust particles on continuous inhalation causes many chronic diseases such as tuberculosis , a variety of lung cancers and eye defects and many other health problems

>the mines are unstable and unsafe for the miners as they may collapse and kill huge no of miners in it.fires in the coal mines has also costed many lives
