— This paper aims to review and assess quarrying impacts comprehensively, besides, trying to crystallize a futuristic vision of urban landscape post-quarries.

 — This report reviewed papers on the possible impacts of the mining region's limestone quarrying activities on the atmosphere and climate change. Results on the impact of limestone mineral spectra identification for the …

 — Limestone aggregate quarries in deeply penetrating karst terrain are often at considerable risk of artesian inflow from groundwater or surface water channeled through the karstic aquifer.

Abstract: 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...

In these areas, introduction of limestone quarry wastes could have a significant impact on the native biota. However, most, if not all, limestone quarries discharge into streams that arise adjacent to the quarry sites in soils already appreciably influenced by the surrounding lime- stone deposits.

 — Small scale mines of limestone's are prominent in the hills of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. The mines of phosphorite, soapstone and magnesite are also active in these hills. The blasting, drilling and excavation of steep slopes of hills for mines is triggering the landslides and earthquakes.

Limestone, dolomite, and marble - the carbonate rocks - are the principal karst-forming rocks. Karst is a type of topography that is formed on limestone, gypsum, and other rocks by dissolution that is characterized by sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage regions. Karst areas constitute about 10 percent of the land surface of the world (fi g.

 — Using the resource curse theory as a philosophical lens, this study qualitatively analysed the effects of the stone quarrying industry in the Wenchi municipality of Ghana. Using the case study approach, information was gathered from 90 s in eight host communities and institutional interviews.

 — A study found that the main cause of resource depletion in limestone quarrying was the use of diesel fuel in the transportation process, and that based on the GHG Protocol the GHGs emission was found to be …

 — The negative impacts of limestone quarries need to be carefully managed through proper planning, regulation, and implementation of best practices to maximise the gains while minimising the adverse effects on the environment and local communities.
