 The impacts of mining on the health of the miners and the environment are:

i. The dust and noxious fumes inhaled by miners make them vulnerable to
pulmonary diseases. 
ii. The risk of collapsing mine roofs, inundation and fires in coalmines are a
constant threat to miners.
iii. The water sources in the region get contaminated due to mining.

stream and river pollution.
