Mankind started mining for precious metals between 20,000 and 40,000 years ago. For the last century, mining has been one of our planet's largest industries (it generated 683 billion dollars in revenue in 2018 alone). This only underscores the fact that our desire for precious metals and minerals has grown exponentially since we first started digging through the …

Mining continues to be a dangerous activity, whether large-scale industrial mining or small-scale artisanal mining. Not only are there accidents, but exposure to dust and toxins, along with stress from the working environment or managerial pressures, give rise to a range of diseases that affect miners. I look at mining and health from various …

Underground mining has the potential for tunnel collapses and land subsidence (Betournay, 2011). It involves large-scale movements of waste rock and vegetation, similar to open pit mining. Additionally, like most traditional forms of mining, underground mining can release toxic compounds into the air and water.
