Describe harmful effect associated with extraction of Aluminum, Gold and Copper. Discuss each individually.

Harmful effect associated with extraction of Aluminum, Gold and Copper are:

During the melting of aluminium there is a released of per fluorocarbon are more harmful than carbon dioxide in the environment as they increased the level of green house gases and cause global warming. The process of transforming raw material into the aluminium are much energy intensive.

Gold mining industries destroyed land scopes and increased the amount of toxic level in the environment and they also dump there toxic waste in the natural water bodies, which increased the level of water pollution in the environment.

Copper mining causes the health problems like asthma and problem in respiratory system because of the inhalation of silica dust. It also increased the level of sulfur diode in the environment which cause acid rain and destroyed various trees and buildings in the nature.
