Question

what is the effects of mining?

Answer 1

 Mining has a great effect on the quality of the air. Since mines need to blast through rock to get to an ore, dust may be produced in the process. Coal mines release methane, which contributes to environmental issues because it is a greenhouse gas. 

 Trees need to be cut down in order to have a mine built, and whole forests could be destroyed. Mining involves moving large quantities of rock, and in surface mining, overburden land impacts are immense.

 Mines are highly damaging to the ecosystems surrounding them. Many different types of mines affect many different types of ecosystems. For example, deep-sea mines are at high risk of eliminating rare and potentially valuable organisms. Mining destroys animal habitats and ecosystems.

$\mathbb{ANSWER}$

______________________________________

The effects of mining industries are as follows :-

______________________________________

•Impact on land :- Large mining operations involve conversion of agricultural land into roads, railway lines, stockyards, township and others.

______________________________________

•Air pollution :- Various processes involved in mining such as drilling, blasting, crushing and others produce dust and suspended particulate matter in the air thereby polluting it.

______________________________________

•Water Pollution :- Different mines release different types of chemicals that pollute the water bodies.

______________________________________

Metal mines discharge waste water like mine water from smelters.This water is highly toxic and rich in suspended solids.
