Conclusion: There was an increased risk of mortality from IHD associated with cumulative exposure to coal dust, and with coal rank. The effect of coal rank may be due differences in the composition of coal mine dust particulate. The association of risk of IHD mortality with cumulative particulate exposure is consistent with air pollution studies.

The effect of coal mining is not only limited to air pollution, but has further resulted in global warming all over the world. During coal mining activities, a number of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxide and other heat-trapping gases are produced which remain in the atmosphere for several years once emitted ...

Coal and Air Pollution. Air pollution from coal-fired power plants is linked with asthma, cancer, heart and lung ailments, neurological problems, acid rain, global warming, and other severe environmental and public health impacts. Coal has long been a reliable source of US energy, but it comes with tremendous costs because it is incredibly dirty.

Acid mine drainage results from the outflow of water from metal mines, coal mines, or other areas in which the ground has been disturbed. Metal salts, such as Fe +2, are oxidized upon contact with air to more highly acidic aquo species. Sulfur containing molecules are air oxidized to sulfuric acid.

For the coal mining area, the permitted noise level by the DGMS is 90 dBA. As the noise pollution with different mining operation was much above the International threshold limit and higher than even the suggested Indian standard, the following corrective measures were suggested: 1. Suitable selection of equipment with inbuilt effective ...

EPA has set such clean-air standards for gravel mines, coal-fired power plants, coal-processing plants and dozens of other sources, but not for coal-mine pollution. "Setting pollution limits for coal mines is a real no-brainer," said Vera Pardee with the Center for Biological Diversity, another plaintiff in the suit.
