· Conclusions The reported assessments are too meager, and at times contradictory, to make definitive conclusions about population cancer risk due to coal mining. However, the preponderance of this and other data support many of Hill's criteria for causation. The paucity of data regarding population exposure and risk, the widespread geographical extent of coal mining activity, .

Conclusions Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketches Summary This article focuses on the management of water and wastewater within a mining and mineral processing industry. The scope of mineral processing is restricted to the onsite activities. This article identifies the sources of wastewater generated from a typical mine site and then presents the typical characteristics of the ...
Conclusions. Results highlight the need to consider both urban and rural sources of pollution in air quality studies, and appropriate policy steps to address likely rural air pollution from coal mining.
CONCLUSIONS •Value chain ... any environmental attributes. •CMM is often viewed by the coal mining community as a nuisance, when in actuality, it is a coloed and valuable commodity. •Coal and associated gas should be viewed and appraised independently, but the value of each can be increased by synergistic production where technical and economically possible. Accrued environmental ...

Coking coal, or metallurgical coal, has been produced in the United States for nearly 200 years. Coking coal is primarily used in the production of coke for use in the steel industry, and for other uses (for example, foundries, blacksmithing, heating buildings, and brewing). Currently, coking coal is produced in Alabama, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, ia, and West ia.

· The heaviest coal mining areas of Appalachia had the poorest socioeconomic conditions. Before adjusting for covariates, the number of excess annual ageadjusted deaths in coal mining areas ranged from 3,975 to 10,923, depending on years studied and comparison group. Corresponding VSL estimates ranged from billion to billion, with a point estimate of billion, .

Coal mining of bituminous and anthracite coals in the central Appalachian Basin occurred in the early 1800 with production of both to as much as 2721 mt increasing to 1,814,000 mt prior to the American Civil War and reached to about 516,990,000 mt by 1913 (Moore, 1922). Dramatic increase of coal production in the United States occurred during the First and Second World Wars after which coal ...

Conclusions Our findings provide support for the need to address alcohol use in the coal mining industry over and above routine onsite testing for alcohol use. Design 8 mine sites across 3 eastern Australian states were surveyed, selected to encompass key geographic characteristics (accessibility and remoteness) and mine type (open cut and underground).

The mining engineering manager of underground mines other than coal mines is to apply a broad theoretical and technical knowledge and skills, in the assessment of hazards and potential risks, in a range of contexts, to demonstrate autonomy, judgement and defined responsibility when: • developing mining ...

Following World War One, the British coal industry was characterised by decentralisation and overcapacity (investigated by the Commission). Recommendations of rationalisation from the Sankey Commission (), the 1926 Mining Industry Act and 1930 Coal Mines Act could not prevent poor industrial relations and strikes. Control of the industry came under the Ministry of Fuel .
