أكمل القراءةCoal impacts: water pollution. When you burn charcoal in your grill at home, ash is leftover. The same is true for coal-fired power plants, which produce more than 100 million tons of coal ash every year. More than half of that waste ends up in ponds, lakes, landfills, and other sites where, over time, it can contaminate waterways and drinking water supplies.
أكمل القراءةAlthough iron oxide dust was used initially, other dusts were also capable of enhancing the response of the tissue to benzo(a)pyrene carcinogenesis. This point is of importance, particularly since the inhalation of PNA in situations of air pollution or coal mining involves particulates, although of a different type.
أكمل القراءةMining of coal has various effects on the health of the coal miners. The factors that modify these impacts of the coal mining on the health of people are the following: the way it is mined, the emission control in the place and the measures used to control its impact.

أكمل القراءةWhile few numerical analyses of the effect of backfilling in highwall mining can be found, a limitation of the studies was the modelling of coal pillars used in highwall mining, . In this paper, modelling of coal pillars is based on a recent study into a pillar design for highwall mining, which proposes a new empirical pillar strength formula ...
أكمل القراءةSurface coal mining involves: removing parts or all of mountaintops to expose buried seams of coal, and. disposing in adjacent valleys the excess: "overburden" (rock above the coal seam), and. "interburden" (rock between coal seams). Overburden and interburden are disposed of in adjacent valleys because the broken rock will not all fit back ...
أكمل القراءةIn room-and-pillar mining, intersecting tunnels of varying width and length are mined throughout a coal seam. The method leaves a checkerboard effect of empty "rooms" (mined-out voids) and unmined "pillars," which are blocks of coal left in place to prevent the ceilings of the rooms from collapsing on the miners.
