Question

What problems do miners face

Answer 1

Dust: Very fine mineral dust particles from blasting and drilling can accumulate in the lungs, causing a disease called pneumoconiosis. An irreversible, disabling form of this disease called silicosis can occur when a miner inhales excessive amounts of crystalline silica, or quartz. Black lung disease, which can strike coal miners, is another form. Pneumoconiosis can cause scarring of the lungs called fibrosis.
Radon: A radioactive, odorless gas, radon is associated with several types of underground mining. Long-term exposure can cause lung cancer.
Welding fumes: These fumes consist of vaporized molten metal, and chronic overexposure can lead to respiratory tract irritation, systemic poisoning and pneumoconiosis.
Mercury: A heavy metal present in about 25 organic mineral compounds found in mines (depending on that particular mine), workers can inhale, swallow or absorb mercury through their skin. Even exposure to small quantities over time can lead to severe poisoning. Symptoms of mercury poisoning include weakness,  mouth ulcers, bleeding gums and loose teeth, tremors, nausea, abdominal pain, headaches, diarrhea and cardiac weakness.
Noise: Mining is a noisy process, and unfiltered noise emanating from equipment, such as drills, crushers and engines, can lead to temporary or permanent hearing loss, speech interference and eardrum rupture.
Heavy loads: Back injuries from lifting and shoveling as well as slips and falls account for about 25 percent of mining injuries that result in lost time from work.

Hope this will help you

Dust and noxious flumes him Inhaled by the miners make them vulnerable to pulmonary diseases.

Risk of collapsing of mine roofs .

Fire in coal mines are a constant threat to miners.

Dumping of wastes in land leads to the soil degradation.

Water resources in nearby areas get contaminated due to mining.

Have a nice day :-) & ;-)
