  1. Gold Mining Pollution By: Derryl Woodward Hopkins

  2. Effects of Gold Mining • Gold mining is extremely dangerous to the environment, and can cause water and animal pollution. Gold mining can also be harmful to the workers that do it; while digging it can release poisonous chemicals and fumes that could be fatal to poeople and animals.

  3. Types • There are several types of mining operations, all of which create environmental problems. Open pit mines create huge problems for the surrounding local environment, and C4 and bulldozers are used to blast away entire mountains to find gold. Tunnel type mines are also common, although the disposal of waste and the dangers associated with underground mining represent real environmental pollution.
