Mining provides essential raw materials for an industrialized society. However, it causes serious pollution of surface and groundwater. Transferring minerals from deep below the surface to the surface promotes oxidation reactions. Oxidation of iron salts and of sulfur-containing materials in the presence of water leads to highly acidic solutions.

The need for calcium in agricultural soil has been scientifically proven for many years. The proper levels of calcium need in soils has been questioned by those that benefit from its deficiency in soil. However, future basic nutritional research will demonstrate the lack of adequate calcium levels in modern agricultural soils.
