Dust is one of the most visible impacts associated with limestone quarrying due to the drilling, crushing and screening of the rock. The mine site conditions can affect the impact of dust generated during extraction, including rock properties, moisture, ambient air currents and prevailing winds, and the proximity to population …
In this study, we investigated the impact of quarrying as an environmental ethical crisis. The need for the study arose when we realised the deteriorating effect of the quality of life in our community, …
Different types of waste generated from both the industries are cement and limestone quarry. Due to environmental impact and public health and safety, proper efforts must be made to decrease waste generation and hence efficient disposal practices have to be followed. Hence, this study aims at a better understanding of spatial and temporal ...
Oman is a major producer of limestone, with some 8.3m tonnes of output in 2021. However, output has dropped from a high of 19m tonnes in 2017 due to resources …
Quarrying activities have various off-site and on-site impacts on environmental components. Individuals and private companies are increasingly demanding lime stones for construction purposes and ...
As a result, quarries can pollute both surface water and groundwater. Research found there was a higher concentration of fluoride in the water in Indian villages near or within limestone and sandstone quarries. Quarrying can also release heavy metals and sulfate minerals. In drinking water, these substances can be harmful to both animals and ...
Historically, mineral workings have made significant impacts on the historic environment. Not only have aggregate quarries led to loss of archaeological sites, a significant loss of ancient monuments has also resulted from the quarrying of dimension stone for building, open-cast coal mining and the extraction of vein minerals and specialised ...
the environmental and health impacts of unsustainable quarrying practice is the first step. Remote sensing (RS) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are powerful tools for assessing the environmental impacts of various anthropogenic industrial activities. However, some preliminary knowledge is required to use RS and GIS tools.

National Rocks for Mining is specializing in Limestones and building materials export.We had made capital contribution to some cement products factories and building material companies here in Oman and …
Limestone is a naturally formed mineral, primarily composed of calcium carbonate (Oates 2008).It forms commonly in shallow, calm and warm marine waters, as found in the Caribbean Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Mexico (King 2005).Another way of limestone that forms is through evaporation, with this type …
impacts of the limestone quarrying operation in Thailand. By considering the life cycle assessment method, the production processes were divided into three phases: raw material ... 'resources' and 'climate change' categories were the two greatest environmental impacts of the limestone rock production. Diesel fuel and electricity ...
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a superior tool use for assessing environmental changes in the opencast limestone mining region. In mining and its development, there is currently pervasive global concern focused on the need to move the mining sector to a more sustainable environment.

Environmental impacts of the mineral extraction have been a public concern. Presently, there is widespread global interest in the area of mining and its sustainability that focused on the need to shift mining industry to a more sustainable framework. The aim of this study was to systematically assess all possible environmental and climate change related …
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of blast-induced acceleration on the stability of slopes at Arakli-Tasonu limestone quarry where a planar shear failure has recently been observed. The planar failure occurred within rock layers consisting of limestone and clayey limestone. The triggering mechanism of the planar …
All over the world there is a realization that quarrying activities has evolved over time to mining industry that has the potential to provide hither to unparalleled services to management in their efforts to reduce effects of quarrying risks to the human being and the surroundings. This potentially has been turned into a challenge and embodied in the …
In this paper, a life cycle assessment (LCA) model from 'cradle-to-gate' of one ton of aggregate was achieved to evaluate the environmental impact of limestone …
In this paper, a life cycle assessment (LCA) model from 'cradle-to-gate' of one ton of aggregate was achieved to evaluate the environmental impact of limestone quarrying, by counting material and energy flows throughout the extraction and processing of limestone. Life cycle analysis was accomplished using SimaPro 8.5 software and …
Several serious environmental impacts related to quarrying activities on and near the river, such as vibrations, land degradation, land subsidence and landslides, water pollution, …
The investigation yielded that among the five quarry sites, the social and environmental effects of the gravel and sand quarrying operations which the respondents strongly agree with their mean ...
In the first part, the physical and mechanical properties of cement pastes incorporating quarry waste limestone powder (QLP) and a powder produced by direct …
The aim of this study was to systematically assess all possible environmental and climate change related impacts of the limestone quarrying operation in Thailand.
Many cite coal mining and the subsequent environmental impacts but limestone quarrying should not be equated with mining and obtaining nonrenewable fossil fuels. Limestone doesn't get combusted to produce energy. List of Advantages of Limestone Quarrying. 1. Jobs: The Economic and Social Impact Limestone …
It was found that water samples analysed from the vicinity of limestone quarry and cement plant showed an elevated levels of pH, …
In this study measurement, investigations, status of environmental impacts, forecast and subsequent mitigation measures were taken care of for air pollution, noise pollution, water pollution, soil & land degradation …
Health Effects of Limestone Quarrying in Yilo Krobo and Lower ... They may be positive or negative impact to the environment. Quarry: A quarry is a type of open-pit mine from which rock material and sand are extracted. Pollution: The process of introducing or adding materials to the environment. These materials,
