Deforestation (logging) of area to create the mine and roads to transport the mined products. That can result in loss of wildlife and or extinction of species. Chemicals and/or vapours that are produced in smelting get placed in the atmosphere. Not to mention all the resources like metal, electricity and oil/petroleum to buid a mine and support an active mine. Emissions from vehcles or tranport to transport it. The salt bit I'm not so sure about apart from the vapours and chemicals that are dispersed into the atmosphere. I guess it contributes to global warming. And as far as oil goes there is also the burn off of oil that cannot be used or isn't the appropriate grade.
Most of what is dug up when mining is harmful to the environment. Most common problems are:
Let's use coal as an example.
What REALLY affects the environment is what you do with the mined minerals.
It tears up land is the main enviornemntal concern.
Land is sometimes opened specifically for it because you can't change here the dimands and resources are. The land suffers long-term damage as of its habitat and vegtation.
Mining metals and minerals has a very bad impact on environment as in mining the earth is being dig and it makes a hollow space under the land.and if there will be an big earthquake then that whole area will go down.

yes, all environmental and drinking water contains salts. You only get pure H2O in labs. Sea water is salty because there is more salt dissolved in it.
The underground stems do not absorb water and mineral salts for the plant, rather these store the prepared food material in them to overcome adverse environmental conditions.
Yes, it can. For example, gold forms a covalent bond with a cyanide ion, which is why cyanide salts are used in the mining industry.
salt water pools don't use chlorine salts, they are bromine salts. So yes, saltwater pool are better for you.

- carbonates are salts.- oxides are...oxides not salts- hydrogencarbonates are salts
They are ionic salts.

Aqueous solutions of the soluble beryllium salts are acidic as a result of the formation of Be(OH2)42+, the tetrahydrate, which will react to form insoluble hydroxides or hydrated complexes at pH values between 5 and 8 FROM Dr Robert M.
