Coal mining irreparably damages plant life and soil, creating barren patches of land that are not only aesthetically unpleasing but contribute to loss of valuable topsoil, erosion and dust storms. #8 Flooding Coal mining and preparation generates millions of gallons of highly toxic, semi-solid waste called "slurry."
ContactNov 04, 2021Continuous coal mining results in dramatic regional land use change, and significantly influences the sustainable development of coal resource-based cities. Present studies pay little attention to the characteristics and regularities of land use change in coal resource-based cities, caused by underground coal mining in high groundwater areas.
ContactIt usually requires mountain blasting and the removal of trees and plants in the mining area. Coal mining increases the risk of loosening top soils into streams and waterways and the sediments pollute our water and can smother plant life downstream and even kill fish. Coal has traces of sulfur and nitrogen.
ContactOpencast coal mining has a series of consequences on land resources and places enormous pressure on the ecological environment. Stripping, excavation, transportation and dumping have different effects on soil physical, chemical and biological properties.
ContactApr 01, 2019Coal mining often causes drastic changes in the soil profile and the loss of soil organic carbon and nutrient pools ( Indorante et al., 1981 ). As a direct result the soil system can suffer substantial and long-lasting damage, which negatively affects land productivity and ecosystem functionality ( Hartmann et al., 2014 ).
ContactCardiopulmonary disease, hypertension, COPD, and kidney disease are found in higher than normal rates in people who live near coal mines. Displacement of Communities: All of these negative effects force people to move to other places as their air and water gets polluted and expanding coal mines make use of more and more of their habitat.

ContactAnother environmental effect of coal mining is "mine subsidence" -- the earth sinking as a result of a disturbance to its foundation. This occurs when the coal deep below our planet's surface is removed from its bed. #9 Topographical Alteration.

Different from other city types, the development of coal resource-based cities presents significant resource-related reliance and orientation, and coal mining causes changes to the region of different
ContactHere are some of the negative effects of coal mining and the burning of coal: Deforestation is required to clear areas of land and mountains to prepare them for mining. Coal mining releases toxic materials into the soil and water. Bad mining can start coal fires which can burn for decades releasing “fly ash” and smoke filled with

ContactMar 23, 2017The consistently elevated ionic strength associated with surface coal mines has been implicated in extirpating sensitive taxa throughout many Appalachian streams. We quantified secondary production at three sites spanning a gradient of mining impacts in the Mud River (West Virginia, U.S.A.) by sampling macroinvertebrates monthly from 2012 to 2013.
