The mining and production of colored gemstones takes place in 47 countries (Boehm, 2014). Industry observers have noted that this sprawling and largely unregulated industry presents issues that are similar to other small-scale extractive industries: forced and child labor, other types of criminal activity, environmental damage, and health and safety …Web
Opencast mining yields more coal than underground mining, but at the same time it is more impactful to the environment. Land subsidence and slope deformation are the major problems associated with underground mining (Altun et al. 2010). The impact of opencast mining is infinite as it changes the landscape dramatically.Web

When companies break up materials during mining, the dust can release a variety of heavy metals commonly associated with health problems. As dust, these minerals (such as the asbestos-like mineral riebeckite) can be absorbed into lung tissue, causing problems like pneumoconiosis and silicosis, commonly known as "Black Lung" (Paul & Campbell, 2011).Web
