Answer» Mining is injurious to miners and environment because: 1. The dust and noxious fumes from the mining areas can cause pulmonary diseases for those inhaling it. 2. There's a constant risk of collapsing mine roofs, inundations, and fires in the area. 3. The water sources in the area get polluted due to mining and dumping of waste. 4. Dumping of waste and slurry leads to degradation of land, soil and increase in stream and river pollution. |
