mining is where ppl go down in caves/ different ares to extract metal or valuable ores, it involves them using pickaxes or modern technology to get the ores out. its dangerous to the lungs because dust and/or rocks can harm your breathing habits/ how well you breathe/ if you can breathe well or not.
