Arsenic: When high amounts of arsenic is inhaled or ingested through coal ash waste, diseases such as bladder cancer, skin cancer, kidney cancer and lung cancer can develop. [5] [11] Ultimately, exposure of arsenic over a long period of time can cause mortality. [5] Furthermore, low levels of arsenic exposure can cause irregular heartbeats ...

Evidence for public health effects from coal mining in other parts of the United States is much more limited . MTR is practiced in strict form only in Appalachia, and it may be that the topography, population density around mining sites, other population characteristics, or the mountain-based mining practices themselves account for observed relationships.

2013.6.8 Coal is humanity's second oldest fuel. Like the oldest biomass, coal has had a defining role in human history. The control of biomass fire defined the transition of becoming human nearly 2 million years ago and control of coal was the driver of the first industrial revolution some 250 years ago. Along with the agricultural revolution, these

To explore the reasons for this phenomenon, in this review, we first reviewed the historical studies on coal mine dust including the regulation and engineering controls. Then, the effects of coal dust on human health was comprehensively reviewed. Next, the effects of nanoparticles on human health were reviewed, with an emphasis on toxicity of ...

2019.9.5 Background Coal dust is one of the most serious risk factor that leads to respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases in miners. This study aimed to observe the effects of occupational dust exposure on chest radiograph, pulmonary function (PF), blood pressure (BP) and electrocardiogram (ECG) indexes in coal miners and explore the

Impacts of Coal Mining 3. Water Pollution . Water pollution from coal includes the negative health and environmental effects of the mining, processing, burning, and waste storage of coal. In the process of mining coal, coal sludge is given off. Coal sludge, also known as slurry, is the liquid coal waste generated by washing coal.

In addition, these estimates do not include health effects occurring outside of a 1000 kilometer radius, which are likely to be lower than within that radius but are still nonnegligible (Greco et al., 2007). Thus, these results can be considered conservative estimates of these 88 coal plant’s total impact on health.
