Gold Reserve UPSC NOTE

 



Why gold mining is dangerous?

  • Gold mining involves working in underground or open-pit mines, which exposes workers to various occupational hazards

  • These hazards include cave-ins, rock falls, and accidents with heavy machinery, leading to injuries or fatalities.

  • The extraction and processing of gold often involve the use of toxic chemicals like mercury and cyanide. 

  • Miners and nearby communities can be exposed to these hazardous substances, leading to long-term health issues such as respiratory problems, neurological disorders, and organ damage.


  • Working in underground mines poses specific dangers, such as poor ventilation, high temperatures, and the presence of harmful gases like methane

  • These conditions can cause asphyxiation, heat exhaustion, or explosions, putting miners at great risk.

  • Abandoned or poorly maintained mines can have unstable structures, increasing the risk of collapses and trapping miners inside. 

  • Unsafe conditions in aging mines can lead to accidents, especially in areas with inadequate safety regulations and inspections.


  • Gold mining can have significant environmental consequences. 

  • The use of mercury and cyanide can contaminate water sources, harming ecosystems and endangering the health of wildlife and nearby communities. 

  • Mining operations may also result in deforestation, habitat destruction, and soil erosion, impacting biodiversity and ecological balance.
