Mining and quarrying for minor minerals impart significant economic, environmental and social impacts in and around the affected areas. The problem is severe in the small river catchments as the effective area available for assimilating negative impacts of the activity is minimal, compared to large river basins. To address these …
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 …
Quarrying is very much part of the local heritage but most people in the area are only too well aware of the potentially negative impact of quarrying. However the industry has undergone tremendous changes especially over the last three decades and has sought to mitigate the worst impacts on the local community, but still fulfill the UK's demand ...
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 ...
The negative impacts of limestone quarries need to be carefully managed through proper planning, regulation, and implementation of best practices to maximise …
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 …
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 …
The proposed procedure for evaluating environmental rehabilitation measures in limestone mines is an analytical tool that can be successfully applied …
Abstract. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a prominent technology to assess the environmental changes in the open cast Limestone mining …
Regarding to the four damage categories, 'resources' and 'climate change' categories were the two greatest environmental impacts of the limestone rock production. Diesel …
Quarrying can have a significant impact on the environment, for example: Quarrying can destroy natural habitats, disrupting the ecosystems that support various plant and animal species. The quarrying process often involves significant noise pollution and dust, which can affect the health of nearby residents and the overall quality of the air.
However, on top of being both aesthetic and durable, these natural stone pavers also impact the environment in a positive way. They are sustainable building options that every environmentalist would favor over others. Let's take a deeper look into the environmental impact of these materials and their quarrying. Natural Stone Quarrying and Pavers
Air Pollution from quarrying. Dust from quarry sites is a major source of air pollution, although the severity will depend on factors like the local microclimate conditions, the concentration of dust particles in the ambient air, the size of the dust particles and their chemistry, for example limestone quarries produce highly alkaline (and reactive) dusts, …
The insatiable demand for rock supplies has enticed numerous building and construction enterprises to participate in stone quarrying. However, this has had an environmental impact on air quality. This paper examines the environmental impact of quarrying on air quality in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. To achieve the main aim of the study, …
The quarrying industry is undergoing a profound transformation through advanced techniques and processes. These innovations are revolutionizing the sector by boosting efficiency and reducing its environmental impact. Modern quarrying methods, including laser scanning and 3D modeling, have enabled precise planning and …
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 ...
Limestone mining causes widespread disturbance in the environment. Myriad impacts are observed as changes in land use pattern, habitat loss, higher …
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 Impact Assessment (EIA) is a prominent technology to assess the environmental changes in the open cast Limestone mining region. However, traditional EIA methods and Limestone deposit identification involves time consuming, cost effective and manpower requirements. We cope-up these problem and incorporated with …
biggest contributors to environmental impacts of limestone quarrying is 'climate change'. GHGs emissions were about 3.13 kg CO 2 -eq per ton limestone rock …

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 …
Quarrying is an extractive activity that causes major environmental changes in grasslands (Lameed and Ayodele 2010; Gbedzi et al. 2022).The environmental impacts of these changes range from pre-operational mining activities (e.g., construction of access roads, conduits, and installation of drains and ditches) to the mining activity itself …
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, which is located next to a limestone quarry. To obtain a deeper understanding of the adverse impact on the environment and the quality of life …
Quarrying in limestone aquifers can interfere with groundwater flow paths. Quarries can pirate karst conduit flow by physically breaking into the conduits and changing the groundwater discharge points. Another mechanism of groundwater flow interference occurs as quarry dewatering lowers the water table changing groundwater flow directions. Dye …
Local economies may become overly dependent on the quarrying industry, which could lead to problems if it decreases or stops. Environmental Benefits of Limestone Quarrying: Limestone is a necessary resource for many construction and industrial applications, such as in cement production. Correctly managed, a quarry can become a …
