Mining and the Environment

By Emma Kaiser

The mining industry provides jobs and materials that are necessary for everyday life. But mines can also be sources of pollution. Mining and the Environment explains the effect that mining has on land, waterways, and the air, as well as ways mining companies reduce their environmental impact. Easy-to-read text, vivid images, and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject. Features include a table of contents, infographics, a glossary, additional resources, and an index. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Core Library is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.
