How the mining of coal is harmful to the environment We were so happy with this cheap fuel source that we didnt foresee or refused to see the coal mining effects on the environment and they are many most of them negative Here are some of the negative effects of coal mining and the burning of coal.
Mining refers to the process of extracting metals and minerals from the earth Gold silver diamond iron coal and uranium are just a few of the vast array of metals and minerals that are obtained by this process Mining activities require the clearing of large areas of land The chemicals used in the mining process often escape into the environment causing largescale pollution.

Jun 29 2012nbsp018332Only a small fraction of the immense diversity of plant metabolism has been explored for the production of new medicines and other products important to human wellbeing The availability of inexpensive highthroughput sequencing is rapidly expanding the number of species that can be investigated for the speedy discovery of previously unknown enzymes and pathways.
Regarding the effects of mining activities on plant communities the presence of different concentration levels of metals such as Cd Cu Se and Zn in soil and water has been reported and is known to reduce the diversity and abundance in plant communities 32 33.
Environmental contaminants associated with mining activities may affect wildlife species in many ways and at many levels within the ecosystem Some contaminants associated with mines eg lead arsenic cyanide etc may cause acute or chronic effects on resident wildlife At Whitewood Creek near Deadwood South Dakota more than 100 million.

Mining often releases heavy metals even long after the mining has ceased This runoff can reach rivers and streams Heavy metals can be toxic to both plants and animals Quarrying can result in highly acidified water which is also toxic but due.
Water that runs by mining operations disposal sites or other highly concentrated areas can carry zinc to agricultural areas and adversely affect the plants Too Little Zinc Ringworm Life Cycle Learn More Zinc is a component of protein for the plant so the roots may be reduced without it.
In this account we review the history of cyanide use in gold mining with emphasis on heap leach gold mining cyanide hazards to plants and animals water management issues associated with gold mining and proposed mitigation and research needs.
In some cases bioavailable metals are absorbed by plants and animals causing detrimental effects Although current US mining and reclamation practices guided by environmental regulations minimize or prevent waste rock erosion into streams disposal of waste rock in places where it could erode into surface drainages has occurred historically.
Sep 01 2019nbsp018332However mining and mineral processing by its very nature comes with environmental costs and the effects can continue long after the mining has stopped The aim of this article was to review the relevant publications on the impacts of air pollution arising from mining operations with respect to human health plants animals and infrastructure.
Mining and burning coal for fuel is harmful to the environment but because coal is so abundant and cheap many people are reluctant to give it up as a fuel source Coal starts as peat or sections of partially decomposed organic matter that accumulate on the earths surface Over millions of years the peat is.

Effects of Acid Rain on Plants and Trees Dead or dying trees are a common sight in areas effected by acid rain Acid rain leaches aluminum from the soil That aluminum may be harmful to plants as well as animals Acid rain also removes minerals and nutrients from the soil that trees need to grow.
These coalplant related health risks are unequally distributed across the population In the United States coals health risks affect African Americans more severely than whites largely because a large portion of African Americans live close to coal plants and coal waste dumps Sixtyeight percent of African Americans live within 30 miles.
