The health impacts of surface mining typically involve a higher risk of lung disease due to the exposure to dust and pollutants, as well as a higher risk of mine collapse. In contrast, underground mining may have a lower risk of lung disease due to better ventilation systems, but there is a higher risk of hearing loss and miner injuries from accidents and working in confined spaces.
