Underground Mining methods.
Subsidence: This method can lead to ground subsidence, which may cause surface instability and damage to structures above.
Water Contamination: While it generally disturbs less land surface, underground mining can also lead to water pollution, especially from acid mine drainage when sulfide minerals are exposed.
Air Quality Issues: Underground mining can result in poor air quality and health risks for workers due to dust and gases.
 
Risks
Underground Mining
Fatality Rates: Historically, underground mining has a higher fatality rate compared to surface mining. In the U.S., the fatality rate for underground coal mining is around 0.06 per 1,000 workers.
Common Causes:
  • Cave-ins: A significant risk due to unstable rock.
  • Explosions: Often related to gas accumulation (e.g., methane).
  • Respiratory Issues: Silicosis and other lung diseases from dust exposure.
Injury Rates: The injury rate in underground mining is typically higher, with injuries often caused by equipment accidents, falls, and electrical hazards.
