How does coal pollute the air?

When coal is extracted from the ground, a lot of dust and coal particles are emitted and then many people get respiratory illnesses.  

How does coal pollute the water?

When coal is extracted from the ground, too much water is used to mine it, then that water is polluted because they use a lot of heavy metals.

How does oil pollute the water?
