Methane emission from coal mining depends on the mining methods, depth of coal mining, coal quality and entrapped gas content in coal seams. (2) Water pollution: The major source of water pollution in the coal mines is the carry over of the suspended solids in the drainage system of the mine sump water and storm water drainage. In some of
This article reviews evidence for the public health impacts of coal across the extraction, processing, use, and waste disposal continuum. Surface coal mining and processing impose public health risks on residential communities through air and water pollution. Burning coal in power plants emits more nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, particulate …
The NSW Environment Protection Authority is reviewing the licence of the Metropolitan coal mine following repeated incidents of coal pollution spilling into waterways in the Royal National Park.
Occupational exposure limits for respirable coal dust are based on exposure during working hours, but coal miners may experience additional community-based exposures during nonworking hours. We analyzed Australia National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) data for the years 2008–2018 to estimate air pollutants (metals, nitrogen oxides, …

Coal is abundant, comparatively cheaper than other fossil fuels, and is widely used. Coal produces carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas responsible for climate change. Burning fossil fuels causes air pollution. The most common incident is the Great Smog of London, which occurred in 1952.
Air pollution and coal ash, two of the most direct threats from burning coal for energy, are both facing new regulations. The industry is fighting tooth and nail to keep the EPA from acting, but with your help we can turn the tide and start protecting our communities. The EPA is currently accepting comments from the public on both of these …
The activities such as drilling, blasting, and transportation are the central cause behind air pollution. 21,35 Even the release of fugitive dust into the air is also responsible for air pollution. 22 In this study, it is observed that in the mining-affected villages, due to the release of particulates and poisonous gases, the atmosphere has ...
Monitoring heavy metals (HMs) across source distance and depth distribution near coal mining sites is essential for preventing environmental pollution and health risks. This study investigated the distribution of selected HMs, cadmium (Cd2+), chromium (Cr2+), copper (Cu2+), manganese (Mn2+), nickel (Ni2+), lead (Pb2+), and …
On a scorching August day in southwestern Indiana, the giant Gibson generating station is running flat out. Its five 180-foot-high (54.9-meter-high) boilers are gulping 25 tons (22.7 metric tons ...
New report urges global action on mining pollution. On 5 November 2015, a waste dam at an iron-ore mine in southeastern Brazil collapsed, unleashing a tide of …

Mining safety is recognized as one of the factors influencing the mining industry's long-term viability. Therefore, we did a bibliometric analysis to take stock of safety management in the coal mining industry. This study suggests a three-step strategy, comprising literature extraction and screening, bibliometric analysis, and discussion, to …
On Monday, the EPA issued updated rules on pollution limits that haven't been updated in over 30 years. The rules cover water pollution that results from burning coal for power, pollution that can ...
According to EPA records, about 130 million tons of coal ash is being generated each year, placing it second only to domestic garbage in the matter of waterway pollution. Reports have provided evidence of …
The color isn't the result of the golden hour, but of decades of pollution caused by abandoned coal mines that have choked the creek of life. An avid outdoorsman, Kania moved to the area in 1982 to accept a job with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection [DEP] as a coal mine regulator. The state of the creek …
The US, Canada and several indigenous groups have unveiled a proposal aimed at addressing the long-standing issue of pollution from coal mining in British Columbia, BNN Bloomberg reported. This pollution is said to have been contaminating waterways and harming fisheries across the US-Canada border for years. The initiative …

Coal is a fossil fuel and nonrenewable energy source that is combusted and used to generate electricity. A coal-fired power plant is a prodigious generator of environmental pollution, releasing large quantities of particles as aerosols in the atmosphere. The inhalation of hazardous substances such as coal micro-particles, …
Our investigation revealed that coal mining and utilization have substantial adverse effects on the environment, including air and water pollution, land degradation, and biodiversity loss. Moreover, the release of greenhouse gases and particulate matter contributes significantly to climate change, exacerbating global environmental concerns.
The new coalmine in Cumbria is likely to prevent the UK from meeting its internationally agreed commitment to reduce emissions of the powerful greenhouse gas methane, analysis has suggested. The ...

WEBMethane is 34 times stronger than carbon dioxide at trapping heat over a 100-year period and 86 times stronger over 20 years; roughly 10 percent of all US methane emissions come from coal mining.
Coal is a major source of air pollution and harms public health. Many studies have examined the impact of burning coal (Cesur et al., 2017, Clay et al., 2016, Beach and Hanlon, 2018, Johnsen et al., 2019), but few address the fact that producing coal also generates pollution. Coal mining generates pollution in three ways.
In recent years, China's raw coal output has increased continuously. According to the data of China's National Bureau of Statistics, China's raw coal output reached 4.07 billion tons in 2021 alone with a year-on-year increase of 4.7% (National Bureau of Statistics 2022).With the continuous growth of coal mining scale, large coal …
