Waste of agricultural land
mines and their associated tip
heaps may occupy land otherwise suitable for farming
Waste of industrial land
where derelict land is in or near towns it may occupy industrial land which could be used for industries
Open cast mines may be filled with water and create deep pools thus accidents are likely to occur. Such pools are also breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other water borne discases
Pollution- during mining toxic gases may be emitted from the mimes leading to air pollution
