- Two areas of coal mining result in health and environmental damage:
a) Risk to miners
b) Risk of mining activities to environment
The related links show why mining is considered the second most dangerous profession in the US. Respiratory problems and accidents caused by mine cave ins are considered the highest risk. To lessen the danger, use of respirators and better construction of cells (cribbing) is needed.
The most environmentally damaging mining activity is open pit mining, where there is high risk of air pollution and through land removal, alteration of the ecosystem. Through the permitting process, it is possible that restrictions can be placed on mines to lessen the damage.

- In the UK coal mining has been known to cause industrial injuries such as industrial deafness, vibration white finger and black lung disease. These are caused from vibrating power tools and coal dust inhalation. The risks to health of coal mining have been made by improving ventilation and breathing apparatus and improving the machinery used to mine the coal. To see the types of disease mining can cause and how workers can claim compensation in the UK see the related link entitled "miners injury compensation"

What are the two methods used for mining coal?
The two methods used for mining coal are surface mining and underground mining. Surface mining involves removing layers of soil and rock to access coal deposits near the surface, while underground mining involves tunneling underground to extract coal from deeper deposits.
How is coal removed from earth..?
Coal is typically removed from the earth through surface mining or underground mining. In surface mining, large machines called draglines or shovels remove the coal from the surface of the earth. In underground mining, miners dig tunnels to access the coal seams and extract the coal using machinery.
How do you get coal out of the ground?
Coal is extracted from the ground through mining methods such as surface mining and underground mining. Surface mining involves removing the top layers of soil and rock to access the coal seams, while underground mining involves tunnels and shafts to access coal deposits deep below the surface. Once extracted, the coal is processed and transported for various industrial uses.

Coal is removed from the earth through a process called mining. There are two main methods of coal mining: surface mining and underground mining. In surface mining, large machines remove the topsoil and rock layers to access the coal deposits, while in underground mining, tunnels are dug deep into the earth to reach the coal seams.
