Mining safety – 7 common risks to protect yourself against
1. Coal dust. Dust inhalation or coal dust is one of the most common concerns for miners. "The ongoing inhalation of coal dust can cause what is colloquially known as 'miner's lung' or 'black lung'. Miner's lung is a form of the occupational lung disease group pneumoconiosis.

Examining the Environmental Impacts of Open-Cut Mining …
Both open-cut and underground mining can pose significant risks to water resources. Open-cut mining involves the removal of overburden and exposes rocks containing minerals. When it rains, these exposed rocks can release toxic substances and pollutants, contaminating nearby water bodies through a process known as acid mine drainage (AMD).

Airborne respirable dust in fully mechanised
Mining operations are inherently associated with dust generation, which is detrimental to cleaner production in mines. Exposure to airborne respirable dust causes serious health hazards to the miners. This paper critically reviews the different dust generating sources in fully mechanised underground metalliferous mines (FMUMM).
