Sources and Alternative Energy Experiment 1
The Effects of Coal Mining Coal mining,
particularly surface mining, leads to large areas
of land being temporarily disturbed. Mines
collect and conduct water that is in contact with
pyrite, a mineral that produces iron and sulfuric
acid when exposed to air and water. Limestone is
often used to mitigate the effects of pyrite on
water. In this lab, you will see first-hand the
reasons why mine drainage can be harmful to the
local drainage system if left untreated.
