Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The miners are the real targets who used to face health issues due to mining. This can be proved through various reasons; firstly, the adjoining water used to get contaminated, which is not good for the health of anyone living in that area. Secondly, there are high risks of collapsing roofs and fires in coal mines, which can even result in the death of the miners. Thirdly, while mining, various gases are released, which are harmful to the lungs of miners because these gases are used to enter their bodies. And lastly, the dumping of slurry and waste items that are left after mining is one of the major reasons for soil degradation, which results in bad crops and, in short, affects the health of everyone.
