The mine could collapse
Breath in gasses that can make you seriously ill
Getting trapped means that there would be ni supplies (food, water)

Are there any hazards on mining diamonds?
All the hazards implied with the mining industry are included in diamond mining.
What are the hazards of mining especially for miners and how can you prevent mining from becoming a 'Killer industry'?

What hazards are involved in sulphur mining?
Hazards in sulfur mining include exposure to toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide, risk of respiratory issues from sulfur dust inhalation, potential for explosions due to flammable nature of sulfur, and physical hazards from working in confined spaces underground. Personal protective equipment and adherence to safety protocols are essential in mitigating these risks.
What do mine safety inspectors do?
They look for hazards to the safety of miners, they review safety training, and investigate mining accidents. The conduct inspections of mining operations and determine if safety standards are being met.
What is mining and methods of mining and its impact?
A natural hazard is a threat of a natureoccurring event that will have a negative effect on people or the environment. Many natural hazards are interrelated, e.g. earthquakecan cause tsunamiand droughtcan lead directly to famineor population displacement. It is possible that some natural hazards are intertermporally correlated, as well. A concrete example of the division between a naturalhazard and a natural disaster is that the 1906-san-francisco-earthquakewas a disaster, whereas living on a fault line is a hazard.
Are there any hazards in mining Uranium?
Uranium ore emits radon gas. The health effects of high exposure to radon is a particular problem in the mining of uranium; significant excess lung cancer deaths have been identified in epidemiological studies of uranium miners employed in the 1940s and 1950s
Is coal easy to extract?
Coal extraction can vary in difficulty depending on factors such as depth of the coal seam, presence of overburden, and mining method used. In general, coal mining can be labor-intensive and can pose safety risks due to the potential for cave-ins, gas explosions, and other hazards.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of open-pit mining?
Advantages of open-pit mining include lower operational costs, higher production rates, and easier access to minerals. However, it can lead to environmental degradation, safety hazards for workers, and disruptions to local communities. It also has a larger land footprint compared to other mining methods.
What is a serious hazard of coal mining?
Fire and explosion. Coal mines contain methane gas, which is very flammable. There are also health hazards from breathing coal dust.
Why do they mine underground instead of above ground?
Mining underground provides access to deeper and richer mineral deposits that are often more valuable. It also allows for better control over ventilation and environmental impacts compared to open-pit mining. Additionally, underground mining can be safer for workers as they are protected from surface hazards and inclement weather.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of underground mining?
Advantages of underground mining include less surface disturbance, lower environmental impact, and access to deeper mineral deposits. Disadvantages include higher costs, safety hazards for workers, and potential subsidence of land above the mine.
How is underground mining powered?
Much of the mining and transport machinery is electrically powered, with power lines being run into the active mining areas. Some underground mining equipment is powered by diesel engines. These must be equipped with "scrubbers" to clean up the exhaust gasses from the engines. Gasoline powered equipment is not permitted underground in most countries, due to the fire hazards of gasoline, and the carbon monoxide produced in gasoline exhaust.
