The Coal Mining Industry - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Methane is extremely strong as a greenhouse gas, it's ability to trap heat is far, far stronger than that of CO2. Fossil fuel production and intensive livestock farming have caused around 60% of all methane emissions in recent years.
        
        Methane in Coal Mines
        
        Coal mine methane emissions from underground mining are often caught and used as town fuel, chemical feedstock, vehicle fuel and industrial fuel – but very rarely is everything captured. Methane is less prevalent in the atmosphere as compared to carbon dioxide, but it is 20 times more powerful as a greenhouse gas.
    - - Water vapour is an extremely dangerous greenhouse gas as it is the most abundant one in our atmosphere. It appears in our atmosphere naturally through the water cycle as well.
    - - Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is brought into our atmosphere through both natural (cellular respiration) and human intervention (burning of fossil fuels). CO2 is one of the largest causes of global warming as the CO2 levels in our atmosphere have increased by 47% since the industrial revolution.
- - - - Changes in barometric pressure really can affect people, some people more than others. Changes in blood pressure and increased joint pain can occur at the same time as barometric changes. However, other changes also usually occur at the same time as barometric changes, things such as temperature changes, precipitation, and wind speed changes.
    - - High doses of ionizing radiation can lead to various effects, such as skin burns, hair loss, birth defects, illness, cancer, and death. The basic principle of toxicology, “the dose determines poison,” applies to the toxicology of ionizing radiation as well as to all other branches of toxicology.
- - - - The Adivasi are a collective name for indigenous peoples of India. With ambitions to open a new mine every month, the government and industry have effectively displaced the Adivasi tribe from their ancestral lands. Nearly all Adivasi live in rural areas and more than half depend on forest produce to support their livelihood. Of the 87,000 Indians displaced over the last 40 years by state-owned Coal India Limited, one in six is Adivasi however only 8% of the Indian population is Adivasi.
