After a source of gypsum is found, regular mining equipment will be used to extract it from the ground. As with mining other minerals, mining gypsum can lead to environmental harm.
you could die from a falling rock...?
There are many disadvantages to mining. The main disadvantages include the danger to the miner, environmental hazards, the stripping of natural resources, and the permanent scarring of the landscape.
Pollution from mining and drilling for oil pollutes the air, lakes and rivers
There is no mining in Antarctica -- it is forbidden by The Antarctic Treaty System.
It causes Environmental damage to the surrounding area.
In fact, mining is sure to cause some environmental damage. If you want to build a mine but do not want to have too much damage to the environment, you can remove dust from the ore production and environmental protection process, so that it will reduce the drawbacks.
Mining companies should reduce environmental damage caused by their operations to protect ecosystems, wildlife, and human health. They face challenges in reducing environmental impact due to the high energy consumption, water usage, and waste production associated with mining and smelting activities, as well as the complex nature of regulations and the costs involved in implementing sustainable practices. Implementing best practices, technology upgrades, and working with local communities and regulatory bodies are crucial steps in mitigating environmental damage.
Diamond mining is not sustainable, in the environmental sense.

there are a lot of environmental problems one is hurting the land, by taking the earth away from its usual spot, another with water, the water gets taken out of the mining spot, another is air, the oxygen is taken out of the place where you are mining and then there is the other waste materials such as pollution. i hope this answers your question. :-)
what are the environmental concerns surrounding the mining of the mineral topaz
Mining natural resource produces environmental impacts. Responsible mining operations consider these impacts, and address their potential damage as part of their mining operations. Impacts might include "... erosion, formation of sinkholes, loss of biodiversity, and contamination of soil, groundwater and surface water by chemicals from mining processes." This list according to Wikipedia, below.

Explosives- about 5 million pounds a DAY- used used in construction and mining- and most mining would be impossible with them. Without mining, you have just reverted to a Stone Age civilization. No cars, no roads, no computers, no electriicity.
