Toxic waste can be a very harmful effect of illegal mining.

If the mining sites are near bodies of water chemicals can also poison the water and the fish, it can also destroy beautiful coral reefs.

Fertile land can also be affected, land can become very hard and dry because of the chemicals as well.

Boiling toxic waste can cause burns on people living near the mining sites. The gas can also be very bad to take into your body.

Also, if you build the mines on forest lands, the habitat of countless land species may be destroyed and those species may die.
