Question: “Inspite of adverse environmental impact, coal mining is still inevitable for development”. Discuss. Answer: Coal industry is one of the major contributor to industrialization in the world including India. In spite of being of the major destroyer of environment, it cannot be stopped due to its contribution in modernisation and development.
Coal Coal Problems associated with the use of coal: Coal is abundant. Assuming that current rates of usage and production do not change, estimates of reserves indicate that enough coal remains to last more than 200 years. There are, however, a variety of problems associated with the use of coal. Mining operations are hazardous. Each year hundreds of coal miners lose

10/03/2018· Acid Rain: The scariest part of using coal mining is that it can lead to the threat of acid rain, hence perpetuating the cycle of pollution. Eventually, it can lead to damage to many of the species. This makes, coal as an imperfect choice in reference to the environmental ambience of earth. If the equilibrium of the natural cycle gets disturbed, it can lead to many of the
Read on to explore in more detail about the impact of coal mining on property and land across the UK. The usual mining culprits. There are two usual suspects when it comes the physical risk of past mining activity. The first is deep mining, often linked to more modern mining processes and therefore to more modern times, with the majority of dcep coal mining occurring post the turn of the 20th
27/07/2015· The Federal Government's ethical argument for coal is that it is the most readily available and cheapest resource for generating electricity for the development of poorer countries. The structure of this argument based on our duty to the poor is significant. It assumes that governments, mining companies, banks and the people who invest in them a duty to consider the effects of their actions on
16/10/2017· So one coal mine accounts for almost one per cent of the global carbon budget. And this ignores any other new coal mines that might open in the Galilee Coal Basin once Adani sets a precedent which could increase coal and CO 2 output by five times that of the Carmichael mine. Then there are all the other environmental impacts:

04/03/2020· Mining remains an essential and growing part of the modern industry. By some estimates, it makes up nearly 45% of the total global economy, and mineral production continues to increase as demand for raw materials grows around the world. However, many mining techniques still in use can have serious impacts on both the mining site itself and the surrounding environment.

Impacts of Coal Mining on Society: Impacts of mining were started on the ethnic society after the discovery of minerals and after establishment of its mining potentiality. People started buying the land and business resulting in to increase the value of the land. The impacts are as follows: 1. Displacement of the People: For opencast or underground mining it is required to clear the surface of
Coal Impact On Climate. Coal is an abundant fuel source that is relatively inexpensive to produce and convert to useful energy. However, producing and using coal impacts the environment. Climate change is one of the greatest environmental challenges we face. Climate impacts affect the entire planet. Unchecked carbon pollution leads to long-lasting changes in our climate, such as rising global

As coal is considered as a substitute for other fuels, more serious attention is being given to the environmental impacts of the whole coal fuel cycle: mining, transport, storage, combustion and conversion. This volume presents an up-to-date account of these environmental impacts and the recent developments to combat and control them. A feature of the book is the way in which it discusses not
Environmental impacts of mining can occur at local, regional, and global scales through direct and indirect mining practices. Impacts 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 have an impact on the atmosphere from the emissions of carbon which have
These coal fires are generally caused by improper mining techniques that can result in massive losses in the mining areas. The coal fires have also helped countries like Indonesia to clear the rainforest. Yet, these fires can eventually cause a lot of damage to the environment and surroundings especially if they are not under control. 5) Contamination by acids: This is mainly caused when the
