Environmental effects of mining can occur at local, regional, and global scales through direct and indirect mining practices. The effects 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 affect the atmosphere from the

Since mining often includes the extraction of metals and other resources deep under the surface, it can lead to serious erosions. These erosions may in turn lead to a state where the eroded land is no longer suitable for human use like housing or farming since the soil is too unstable and poses too many dangers of further erosion.

24.03.2021How does the mining industry affect the environment? Underground mining causes huge amounts of waste earth and rock to be brought to the surface – waste that often becomes toxic when it comes into contact with air and water. It causes subsidence as mines collapse and the land above it starts to sink. How big are hard rock room and pillar mines?

Depending on the type of mine, it will likely result in an increase in noise level, dust, and emissions. Soil and water contamination may occur when a mine has been abandoned or decommissioned. However, the most significant environmental effects of mining have to do with water management as processing minerals requires large quantities of water.
