Limestone extraction is strategic for the provision of materials for the entire construction sector. The extraction activities are also source of huge impacts on the natural environment and the landscape as well as on human health (Clemente et al., 2004; Agboola et al., 2020).However, if such activities are performed according to the most recent legislation …
GHG protocol; IMPACT 2002+; limestone mining; life cycle impact assessment (LCA) 1. INTRODUCTION The environmental problems facing mankind in the 21st century are global climate change, natural resources depletion and also ecosystem degradation [1]. Crucially, climate change is recognized as one of the greatest long-term threat facing global ...
Limestone mining can have significant ecological impacts, affecting ecosystem health and biodiversity. It can lead to habitat destruction and fragmentation, altering the natural landscape and potentially endangering species that rely on these habitats.
Environmental Hazards of Limestone Mining. Limestone deposits exist throughout the world. These alkaline, sedimentary rocks were laid down mostly as deposits on the beds of ancient seas. ... and impact from explosions can result in noise pollution and dust. Underground forces from the blasts can cause sinkholes or change the drainage and water ...

The increasing demand for sustainable agricultural practices necessitates innovative solutions for soil fertilization. This study aimed to assess the viability of using limestone mining co-products from the Irati and Corumbataí Formations as multi-nutrient sources for Glycine max cultivation. The experiment utilized a double factorial design (7 × 2) with five replications, …
Construction minerals – sand, gravel, limestone – are the most extracted solid raw materials ¹ and account for most of the world's anthropogenic mass, which as of 2020 outweighed all of ...
Our objectives were: Firstly, to analyze guidelines for the Impact Assessments of Non-Coal Mining projects and recommend sustainable strategies; and secondly, to discern the …
Limestone mining can negatively impact the environment in several ways. A case study of limestone mining in the Katni River watershed of Madhya Pradesh, India found that: (1) Opencast limestone mines increased calcium levels and total hardness in groundwater, degrading local water quality beyond standards.
During my research on the environmental impacts of bauxite mining, the Mines and Geology Division (MGD) in the Ministry of Transport and Mining (MTM) was unable to provide any maps or data files showing the locations of mined-out ore bodies.
SURFACE LIMESTONE MINING: All over the world, limestone is generally mined from a quarry or through open-pit mining. This method is the easiest way to remove limestone without causing much destruction. In surface mining or open-pit mining, the topsoil and overburden covering the mineral are removed.
Opencast mining has been associated with a change in land use and land cover of a region. The process of clearing trees and vegetation in preparation for mineral excavation has huge impacts on prevailing ecosystems. In eco-sensitive areas like forests and hilly regions, loss of native and unique species is also coupled with h…
limestone and nearly 250,000 tons of dimensional limestone products generated in North America. Data also reflects a diversity of operations with respect to size and location. Respondents indicated net annual quarry production ranging from approximately 301 tons to 103,000 tons, while processors reported a ...
The key direct impact of mining on forest ecosystems is the removal of vegetation and canopy cover. Indirect impacts include road-building and pipeline development, which may result in habitat fragmentation and increased access to remote areas. While larger intact forest ecosystems may withstand the impacts of mining and oil development,
