Question: Inspite of adverse environmental impact, coal mining is still inevitable for development. Discuss. Answer: Coal industry is one of the major contributor to industrialization in the world including India. In spite of being of the major destroyer of environment, it cannot be stopped due to its contribution in modernisation and development.
Mar 04, 2020#0183;#32;Habitat Damage. All these different effects add up to serious onsite habitat damage. Mining also creates knockon effects like water pollution, air pollution and vegetation loss as a result of soil eruption. This can lead to greater habitat loss beyond the immediate location. Habitat Destruction Caused By Mining.

on the environment and human health in Africa have increased significantly during the last decade. However, these studies tended to be concentrated on the effects of mining and mineral processing at national levels and in specific mining districts without taking into account the overall impact
The study on environmental impact assessment of coal mining was carried out at Akwuke and Iva mine communities in Enugu State, Nigeria (Figure 1). Enugu with an estimated population of 722,000 in 2006 (National Population Commission [NPC] 2006) has very large deposits of subbituminous coal, estimated at million tons (Diala 1984).
For example, Ogbonna et al. (2015) cite key impacts associated with coal mining in Nigeria as health, water, socioeconomic, ecological (including extinction of both animal and plant species), and...

Apr 25, 2017#0183;#32;Mining adversely affects the environment by inducing loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and contamination of surface water, groundwater, and soil. Mining can also trigger the formation of sinkholes. The leakage of chemicals from mining sites can also have detrimental effects on the health of the population living at or around the mining site.

Feb 01, 2019#0183;#32;Dust and gas pollute the air and this can lead to sicknesses such as catarrh and silicosis. The coal mining industry is a major source of greenhouse gas methane emitted into the atmosphere, also there was noise pollution and the emission of dust and fumes from both the stockpiles and the transportation system of coal.
