Stone dust is a by-product of crushed rocks; as a multipurpose building material it provides compact results. Despite its many benefits to the construction industry, it comes with a number of health risks.
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of stone crushing dust pollution on three commonly cultivated fruit plant species (Vitis vinifera L., Morus alba L., and Prunus armeniaca L.) and on the health of workers working at crushing plants. The trial was carried out on fruit plant species grown close to the stone crushing units located near the northwestern …

2. Does stone crushing dust affect the source of water supply? 3. What measure does the management take towards solving this problem of the effects of stone crushing dust? 1.10 RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS 1. Stone crushing dust have negative effect on the health of workers of quarry industry. 2. Stone crushing dust may affect source of water supply. 3.
drilling, blasting, and crushing that releases dust into the e dust generated is higher as they are essential components for construction. Quarries are the highest source of …
The adverse health effects of working in the stone quarry industry have been well documented. 4, 19-23 Some of the adverse health outcomes mostly experienced by stone quarry workers include eye irritation, breathing difficulty, coughing, and common cold. One way to protect oneself against the risks associated with silica dust exposure is by ...
to ecologist. Stone crushing operations emitting silica dust in general have adverse environmental impacts. Hall et al., (1993) and Fuglsang (2002), underground mining impacts directly on the health of those working underground, but opencast mining creates wider air …
Stone crushing and associated activities contribute to particulate matter in the surrounding environment and exposure to dust can cause serious respiratory disease, skin, …
Dust constitutes a major environmental concern in many quarries, with crushing suggested as the most significant source of it (Bada et al., 2013; Petavratzi et al., 2005; Sairanen et al., 2018).Dust from drilling has been previously examined in two natural stone quarries, and drilling capacity affected on dust concentration at 5 m distance from the drill, but the effect …
Through the lifecycle of a stone quarry industry, wastes are generated in various forms, such as solid wastes and fluid/airborne wastes. Dust emissions are airborne particles resulting from quarrying and stone cutting operations such as blasting, drilling, crushing, hauling, cutting, polishing and decorating (S. Salem, 2021).
Exposure to respirable particulates and silica in and around the stone crushing units in central India. Journal of Industrial Health,49 :221-227 (2011). doi:10.2486/ indhealth.MS1207 Amitshreeya R., and Panda R B. Dust pollution in stone crusher units in …
Local dust sources, such as hauling, impacted the results inside the quarry. Crushing produced more dust compared to comparable studies for drilling. The dust concentrations at the limestone quarry were approximately 50% of concentrations measured at quarries with granitic rocks.
The study concluded that generation of PM 2.5-sized particles may impose serious respiratory health effects over the workers engaged in mining, crushing, and …
306 Cumulative Effect of Quarry Dust on Respiratory Health of Stone Quarry Workers respiratory problems [3–4]. Particles above 10 microns are filtered in the throat and nose; below 10, as in quarry dust, they may reach the bronchi and cause health issues like bronchitis and other respiratory-related problems [5, 6].
pollution problem around the stone crusher area. S. Chaurasiya (2009)[9], studied that during the process of crushing stones fine aerosol of stone dust is generated which cause environmental health hazards among the stone crusher workers. Environmental monitoring was carried out at the
The stone crusher is one of such industries that exist in the vicinity of almost all major cities and towns throughout the country in all the states because the construction activities go on throughout the country. Stone crusing units also generate dust as byproduct due to mechanical crushing and screening operations (CPCB, 1984).
Abstract: The mining and stone crushing activities have considerable effects on the environment quality and human health. The dust emissions contaminate the air and water.
Dust can generate a series of problems for industrial operations. Not only can dust cause health problems, but it can also reduce the productivity of a mining site by limiting visibility and increasing wear-and-tear on equipment. ... Breathing dust particles from crystalline silica can have scathing effects on a person's health. Airborne dust ...
Background: When stones are crushed, the finer dust gets airborne and escapes as fugitive emissions, constituting dust pollution problems in the vicinity with severe adverse effects on the ambient air quality and human health. Methodology: In this study, active sampling method was deployed to sample and obtain the ambient concentrations of CO, SO2, H2S and PM (of sizes …
dust particles in the air etc. Dust has effect both on human health and natural environment. Noise pollution is any unwanted sound which is unpleasant and objectionable to the environment and human health. The quarrying operations and its associated activities like blasting, loading, machineries; stone
The stone crushing industry at Pakur District includes two main operations: quarrying or mining operations and crushing operations. But, there is a lack of environmental governance in both quarries and the crushers which have resulted in considerable degradation of the environment surrounding the locations where the stone crushing
