A » Acid mine drainage occurs when sulfide minerals in rocks are exposed to air and water, leading to the formation of sulfuric acid. This acid leaches heavy metals from the surrounding rock, contaminating nearby water sources. The process is exacerbated by mining activities that increase the surface area of these minerals, posing significant environmental challenges, including water pollution and habitat destruction, which require careful management and remediation strategies.
