چکیده
Operations of mining are large industrial scale in nature, with significant environmental impacts. The industry generates and produces wastes containing high concentrations metals metalloids which highly toxic destructive to the immediate landscape environment. In addition, continued use traditional methods intensifies emission products that not friendly ecosystem.. Even regulated controlled sites release toxins into surrounding While has prospects benefits economy, both terms its own economic impact value other industries product, it almost always adverse impacts eventually health There numerous ways mines nearby environments local communities. Mining involves some generally standard processes practices. This paper considers effects harm done living things around mine location. By understanding mining’s threats long-term well-being by taking precautions reduce all mines, miners people communities can better protect their improve lives. research will address questions like: substances causing problems Maiganga Coal Mine? What is challenging coal Mine?.

Quantification and Radiological Risk Estimation Due to the Presence of Natural Radionuclides in Maiganga Coal, Nigeria
Following the increasing demand of coal for power generation, activity concentrations of primordial radionuclides were determined in Nigerian coal using the gamma spectrometric technique with the aim of evaluating the radiological implications of coal utilization and exploitation in the country. Mean activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K were 8.18±0.3, 6.97±0.3, and 27.38±0.8 Bq kg-1...
متن کاملRadionuclide concentrations and excess lifetime cancer risk due to gamma radioactivity in tailing enriched soil around Maiganga coal mine, Northeast Nigeria
Background: Human activities such as mining enhance the radioactivity levels above normal background which can lead to an incremental increase in the radiation risk to the population. Materials and Methods: 20 tailing enriched soil samples collected around Maiganga coal mine, Gombe, Northeast Nigeria were assessed for their 226Ra, 232Th and 40K contents using HPGe gamma-ray detector. Results: T...

متن کاملAn Innovative Longwall Mining Technology in Tangshan Coal Mine, China
In mining of inclined coal seams in Tangshan coal mine of Kailuan group, gateways on either end of a panel were both typically located along the floor and a gateway pillar between adjoining panels was left unmined between adjacent panels to ensure stability, thus forming a planar mining system. According to the practice, however, it turned out that this conventional mining system has long-stand...
