The two risks involved in both underground mining and surface mining are:
1. **Respiratory disease** - Workers in both underground and surface mining may be exposed to dust, particles, and other airborne pollutants that can lead to respiratory issues over time.
2. **Ground instability** - Both types of mining can lead to ground instability, whether from the removal of material or due to changes in the landscape, increasing the risk of landslides or collapses.
Methane gas buildup is primarily a concern for underground mining, while UV exposure is more relevant to surface mining. High water pressure can be an issue in both, but it is not as commonly recognized as a shared risk in the same way respiratory disease and ground instability are.
