Abstract: Mining activity is artisanal or industrial mining RDCongo especially in the mining provinces of the eastern part of the country poses several impacts on the environment both human and fauna and flora. During our research, we found that there are several victims representing different social strata of which adults and also children are part of the number. Our study shows that there are several environmental and health impacts associated with mining, whether artisanal or industrial. The change in ecosystem parameters and balances relates to biological diversity, visual aesthetic qualities, landscape change.
