By

The periodic table helps me understand the elements included in Coal Manning in South Africa by telling me more about it. The periodic table tells you more about the properties and if it’s a non metal, metal, gas or a solid.

My environmental concern is coal mining in South Africa.

The elements I believe may be connected to coal mining are Mercery(Hg), Zinc(Zn), and Lead(Pb)

Mercury- Mercury is found the the coal and it is a liquid metal. Mercery is very bad for the environment and causes problems for humans.
Zinc- Zinc is found in coal and it is a solid Metal. Zinc is needed for humans immune system to work properly.
Lead- lead is found in coal and it is an solid metal. Lead is very dangerous for humans because it cause lead poisoning.
