Brief Explanations

Black lung disease is caused by inhaling coal dust in coal - mining environments. Waste heaps are common in coal - mining areas where mined coal is stored or waste material is piled up. Acid drainage occurs when water interacts with sulfide - bearing materials in coal mines, releasing acidic water. These problems are not associated with natural gas drilling, nuclear power plants, or solar power sites.

C. coal mining
