Coal+Mining+is+NOT+good!

 //A coal mining plant will NOT be a good thing on our island because of how un eco friendly it is, the sicknesses it could cause and how many people die from coal mining.//

//For starters coal mining cause’s black lung disease, also known as coal-workers pneumoconiosis is caused by long exposure to coal dust. It’s a common affliction of coal miners and others who work with coal. Inhaled coal dust gradually builds up in the lungs and cannot be removed that leads to inflammation, fibrosis and in the worst case necrosis.//

//Secondly, 100,000 men lost their lives doing coal mining, and over 1 million have been permanently disabled this century which is really sad because that is paralysed for life which means you can’t do much things and it’s hard to do everyday simple stuff. It would be very sad if you or a close family member/friend was paralysed for life.//

//Thirdly, coal combustion makes solid wastes such as boiler ash and fly ash and causes water pollution which could make us all sick. One sickness that is caused by water pollution is Giardia. Giardia is a parasite that lives in the water. The most common way of getting it is caused by drinking water that’s not been treated. About 40 species have been described from different animals, but many of them are probably// //synonyms////. Currently, five to six morphologically distinct species are recognized.// //Giardia lamblia// //is a well-known human C parasite, G. muris is found from other mammals, G. ardeae and G. psittaci from birds, and G. agilis from amphibians.//

//In conclusion I hope you agree with me when I say that we should **not** have coal mining on our island because of the sicknesses it causes, how it puts people’s lives at risk and how it pollutes our water.//
