machines required to mine surfaces release carbon dioxide emissions due to combustion, this is directly emitted into the air (atmosphere) - posing a threat to human health, wildlife

# data[].attributes.body
Source- heavy machinery used for mining in an operational site

Pathway- release of greenhouse gasses via burning fossil fuels (through air)

Receptor- the atmosphere and air around the site more specifically

leaving mine surfaces open making mineral and nutrient run off more likely to occur due to rain and outside stressors  - creating nutrient poor grounds

Before mining, here's what I would consider:

Gain permission from specific councils to mine

Consider the wildlife around and near the mine

Consider different types of pollution that will be caused as a result of this

What time is more suitable to do this?

Identify type and quantity of mineral deposits, grade and potential for economic extraction

Consider sustainable mining practices, such as resource efficiency

Ensure the site is accessible for personal, transportation and equipment

Follow regulatory compliances

There will be many social impacts.

Pros: Jobs provided, an economic ‘boom’ in the area and new skills/education given to people

Cons: These skills might become outdated as we move towards renewables, Might be health concerns because of the pollution and possible ground water contamination
