Environmental effects of mining can occur at local, regional, and global scales through direct and indirect mining practices. The effects can result in erosion, sinkholes, loss of biodiversity, or the contamination of soil, groundwater, and surface water by the chemicals emitted from mining processes. These processes also affect the atmosphere from the emissions of carbon which have an effect ...

On this reason the depth of the sinkhole reaches 70 m, with impact radius 5-10 km. Mining waters don't have major impact on the composition of natural waters: Fe, NH4+, BHT20 levels are decreased, SO4-,Cl-, HCO3-, K+, Na+ levels are increased, the amount of heavy metal compound mining waters is lower than the natural level of North-East Estonia ...

Introduction. Africa is on the verge of an unprecedented mining boom. This boom is attracting tens of billions of dollars in foreign investment (Janneh & Ping 2011; Zhang 2011) and will result in substantial economic growth and development, but it also carries big risks for African societies and the environment.Here we highlight potential environmental threats posed by the rapid escalation of ...

He said this environmental damage is "necessary fallout" of mining in a sensitive location. A 2001 U.S. Geological Survey review of mining in karst geology found all of the effects that the riverkeepers are concerned about — water contamination, groundwater loss, habitat destruction, dried up streams and sinkhole collapse — have been ...

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Mapping Tools Open Data Portal. PA DEP's GIS open data portal provides access to all of our publicly published, non-sensitive GIS data, which includes over 300 data layers relative to abandoned mine lands, air quality, water pollution control, coal mining, hazardous waste, operations, oil & gas, streams and lakes, industrial minerals mining, integrated ...

With mining, the entire area has dust floating around it, and in the case of limestone, a lot of calcium oxide spreads and goes around in the atmosphere," Dayanand says. "That acidifies the ...

Land subsidence is a gradual settling or sudden sinking of the Earth's surface due to removal or displacement of subsurface earth materials. The principal causes include: Subsidence is a global problem, and in the United States more than 17,000 square miles in 45 States have been directly affected by subsidence 1.

The geologic history of the Pacific Northwest is as unique as the region itself. Created via tectonic plate movements and accretionary events, the original terranes were subsequently covered by sedimentary layers, ash, lavas, and glacial debris. These processes, begun millions of years ago, continue to affect the area, as seen in the eruption of Mount St. Helens and catastrophic Japanese ...

Mining continues to be a dangerous activity, whether large-scale industrial mining or small-scale artisanal mining. Not only are there accidents, but exposure to dust and toxins, along with stress from the working environment or managerial pressures, give rise to a range of diseases that affect miners. I look at mining and health from various personal perspectives: that of the ordinary man ...

Complaints against mining activities are various and complex, yet there are many commonalities across cases as well. As shown in Fig. 2, potential environmental impacts were reported more frequently—in three-fourths of the cases—than observed impacts, indicating that risk is a critical element of global environmental injustice. Meanwhile ...

the conspicuous environmental implications of limestone mining. In this paper we have reviewed the status of limestone mining and its environmental implications in Meghalaya, India. Results on impact of limestone mining on quality of water, soil and air, degradation of forest and availability of water are summarized and discussed.

Mining MoUs and concerns in Manipur. The plan of extracting mineral resources of Manipur by the government in collaboration with the corporate or companies is bereft of necessary appraisal of impacts and lacks free, prior, and informed consent of indigenous peoples. Moreover, development through chromite, limestone and other mining in the state ...

In this study, the surface and groundwaters of Tozaklı Coal field were investigated in order to determine possible environmental impacts of coal mining on water pollution. The water samples were analyzed for chemical, trace metal and microbiological quality, and compared with international directives (EPA and WHO) in order to determine the impact of the mining activities as a source of ...

The severe environmental and health impacts for local people around the plants and mines are hardly a cause of concern for the government. Because of its vast limestone deposits, the state of Himachal Pradesh has over the last 20years attracted several private players like Jaypee,ACC, Ambuja, CCI, Aditya-Birla and Lafarge.

The impact of droughts in the north-east is exacerbated by the skewed land distribution pattern; the poor majority suffer most when the rains fail because they generally till marginal lands. Two main migration currents are discernible in countries embracing Amazonia: a substantial rural exodus to towns and cities, and settlers penetrating the ...

Limestone mining too has had adverse outcomes for land, forest, and water resources. Unregulated mining carried out on private and/or community land, without the necessary measures to control and mitigate the adverse environmental impacts, has had a negative effect.

The considerable biological and physical impacts on water, air, habitats and landscape arising from mining and the waste it produces are also well understood for both active and post-extraction sites, although knowledge of environmental and human health impacts is continually evolving (Younger et al., 2002, Younger and Wolkersdorfer, 2004 ...
