Coal dust inhalation causes black lung disease among miners and those who live nearby, and mine accidents kill thousands every year. Coal mining displaces whole communities, forced off their land by expanding mines, coal fires, subsidence and contaminated water supplies. There are two widely used ways of mining: strip mining and underground mining.

Coal utilization is associated with various forms of air pollution. During the incomplete burning or conversion of coal, many compounds are produced, some of which are carcinogenic. The burning of coal also produces sulfur and nitrogen oxides that react with atmospheric moisture to produce sulfuric and nitric acids —so-called acid rain.

A hierarchy of entries exists in underground coal mines. Main entries are driven so as to divide the property into major areas; they usually serve the life of the mine for ventilation and for worker and material transport.

Without electric fans, some other method of ventilating the mine was necessary. The answer was the ventilating furnace. Quite literally, early coal mines had a furnace at the bottom of a shaft. The furnace created a draft, and the draft ventilated the mine. The ventilating furnace had a separate shaft, often lined with wooden timbers and planks.
