How the mining of coal is harmful to the environment. We were so happy with this cheap fuel source that we didn’t 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:
Read MoreOne of the most obvious (albeit perhaps least harmful) environmental effects of coal mining is noise pollution. Coal mining is a loud, day- and night-long process that disrupts the lives of those in the surrounding communities, reduces the quality of life and can go on for decades. #11 Loss Of Wildlife. Coal mining requires a large expanse of ...
Read MoreEffects of coal mining on the environment pretty serious. Environmentally damaging surface mining methods have overtaken underground mining as the predominant way of extracting coal. The environmental impact from surface mining includes habitat destruction and loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, groundwater pollution and air pollution caused by ...

Everything to do with coal - from mining to combustion to waste disposal, and all the intervening processes, adversely affect public health and the environment. An increased reliance on coal will invariably result in the increased release of toxic chemicals into the environment.xxviii

These are either environmental pollution or landscape change. A conceptual framework for solving mine environmental issues is proposed. Clean processes, or remediation measures ...

Coal mining harms land, surface waters, groundwater and even our air. 4 Impacts to the land from mining cause drastic changes in the local area. Damage to plants, animals and humans occurs from the destruction and removal of habitat and environ- mental contamination.

This process has a large negative influence on the environment of the whole undermined area. In the Novaky basin, after mining out of the coal seam, occur large depressions on the surface.
