Heavy lifting and working with the body in awkward positions can lead to injuries to the arms, legs, and back.
Health effects of mining very severe. The mercury used in mining causes a number of different health problems, including neurological disorders and kidney diseases. Besides mercury-poisoning, people living around mines are polluted by lead, zinc and copper. Other consequences of mining for human health
2015-12-1 There is strong epidemiological evidence for poor health conditions in mining communities, especially in relationship to MTR. There is increasing evidence for air, and to a lesser extent, water quality problems in relationship to human exposures in these mining communities.

mining health advocacy efforts can make a big difference. Investment in improving the health of communities impacted by mining will serve not only to reduce the current risk but also to illustrate the need for broader changes in the policies that allowed the contamination to occur. Providing financial resources to expose mining’s
