IMPACT OF COAL MINING ON VEGETATION: A CASE STUDY IN JAINTIA HILLS DISTRICT OF MEGHALAYA, INDIA II Abstract Mining causes massive damage to landscape and biological communities. Plant communities get disturbed due to mining activities and following the mining, the habitats become impoverished presenting a very rigorous condition for its growth.
consequences of coal mining in India and in particular Jharia coalfield (JCF). ii. A systematic study on environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is carried out to assess the effects (both positive and negative) of coal mining on the environment. iii. Sustainable mining approach achieved by developing
cause and effects of coal mining in india As a result communities are left with fewer job opportunities as well as greater adverse health effects Coal has been the cause of major health issues in China as well With a denser population and more widespread usage of the resource coal mining has caused significant air pollution .
Coalfired power plants are the biggest sources of fly ash, which contains toxic chemicals such as arsenic, barium, cadmium, nickel and lead, among others. These are known to cause cancer, lung and heart ailments and neurological damage, and contribute to premature mortality.
India now ranks as the third largest coal producer of the World next only to China and USA. Mining depths in Indian coalfields are quite shallow, barring a few mines in Jharia and Raniganj coalfields. Major share of coal resources lies at a depth of less than 300 metres. About 87 percent of coal resources lie within the depth range of 600 metres.
The health and environmental impact of the coal industry includes issues such as land use, waste management, water and air pollution, caused by the coal mining, processing and the use of its products.
Possibly one of the scariest environmental effects of coal mining is the threat of acid rain. The high acidity of AMD remains in the water supply even through evaporation and condensation, which enables it to stay in the atmosphere and eventually return in the form of quot;acid rain,quot; thus perpetuating the cycle of

While a lot of attention is given to the mining and burning of coal that leads to huge carbon emissions, the dangers of fly ash, the residue left after coal is burnt in thermal power plants, have received less public attention, despite the risks to our health and to the environment.
#0183;#32;Coal mining is destroying India''s forests, tribal communities and endangered species, and now we know the pollution it emits when burned is killing thousands. Coal has failed to deliver energy...
The coal mines of Coal India Limited (CIL) removed about 500 million cubic m (Mcum) of overburden (OB) to produce 260 mt of coal in 200304 at an average stripping ratio of cu m of OB against per tonne of coal production [4]. As demand for coal increases to meet the countrys energy requirement, the coal companies are

The current commercial coal mining regime will find it difficult to compete with Coal India. As the major consumer of coal in India (thermal power plants and steel sector) are in long term purchase agreements with Coal India. Also, it will be a challenge for many companies to be able to match Coal Indias ability to navigate the complicated
The extraction of coal and coal seam gas (CSG) will generate produced water that, if not adequately treated, will pollute surface and groundwater systems. In Australia, the discharge of produced water from coal mining and related activities is regulated by the state environment agency through a poll
The coal mines of Coal India Limited (CIL) removed about 500 million cubic meters (Mcum) of overburden (OB) to produce 260 MT of coal in 200304 at an average stripping ratio of m3 of OB against per tonne of coal production [4]. As demand for coal increases to meet the countrys energy requirement, the coal companies are
