ABSTRACT: This research investigates the environmental effects of sand and gravel quarry operations along two quarry sites in Davao River, Davao City. The study aims to identify the specific environmental effects associated with quarry activities and determine if there is a significant association between the level of
Marble has been a prominent natural stone exploited since ancient times, commonly employed as a building material and ornamental stone. However, the disposal of waste generated from marble extraction, particularly fine sludge, poses significant environmental challenges for the dimensional stone industry. The difficulty in managing and recovering these materials, …
The increase in demand of building stones and construction-grade sand has resulted in aggressive hard rock quarrying in many parts of the world. The problems are to be evaluated in detail for the judicious use of resources on the one hand and ensuring health of the ecosystems on the other. The present study aims to evaluate the impact of hard rock …
While quarries are potential economic locations, further attention is needed to guarantee a cost-effective and environmentally efficient system for waste management in these places 12.To improve ...
Depending on the method used in stone quarrying, there will be little or a high potential negative effect on the environment as well as lives around the quarry site. As a measure to mitigate the adverse effects of quarrying, most countries are embracing rules to restrain the adverse impact of quarrying activities.
problem, stress, throat infection, allergy. The study have demonstrated vividly that quarry mining effects on health and environment among workers and residents in the communities is a function of distance from active mine sites. 1. Introduction Within the last decade, environmental and health concerns have gained prominence throughout the world.
Environmental exposure to dust from quarrying activities could pose health dangers to the population living nearby. This study aimed to investigate the health effects of dust exposure on people living close to quarry sites and compared them with those who live far from the quarry sites. A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted among 79 exposed …

Several serious environmental impacts related to quarrying activities on and near the river, such as vibrations, land degradation, land subsidence and landslides, water …
Not only do quarries often negatively impact those who live nearby, but they often leave residual negative impacts on the environment. Runoff of chemical pollutants into bodies of water, loss …
Granite industry, considered as a rapidly growing, and potentially sustainable industry. Nevertheless, quarrying activities induces detrimental impacts on quarry workers, local community, livestock and wild animals. This paper was aimed to elucidate quarry activities which causes detrimental effects to human life and environment.
Within the scope of this study, observations and measurements were made before, during, and after two blasting operations in a quarry mine to evaluate the environmental effects of blasting. The ...
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 issues, an investigation has been …

Aggregate Industries manages Torr Quarry, a significant limestone extraction site among the Mendip Hills' eight quarries. The quarry is a significant ...
ABSTRACT: Investigation on human perspective on the impacts of quarry activities on the natural environment remains limited. This study gauged residents' perceptions of the ecological …
Although it does not truly have a toxic effect on the environment, it certainly degrades the quality of life for local inhabitants. We identified the main source responsible for dust emissions in the investigated territory to be crushing and sieving (Fig. 9). We also noticed that quarry blasts generate a significant amount of dust (Fig. 10).
IOSR Journals, 2019. Environmental impact of granite mining in Tattara area, North Central Nigeria was investigated through the analysis of geologic material which includes rocks, soil, water and physical examination of land degradation with the aim of accessing its impact on the environment and public health.
quarry operations extends to agricultural lands in the surround-ing areas. Farmlands are often abandoned due to the disrup-tions caused by quarry operations, leading to adverse experiences Understanding Environmental Consequences of Quarry Operations: Residents' Perception Study in the Neighbourhood of a Quarry in Osun state, Nigeria
Excessive mining of sand imposes adverse effects on our environment, and this problem is becoming extremely severe as it is exposing the river ecosystem and endangering marine biodiversity across the world (i.e., Tamil Nadu in India, Poyang in China, and California in the United States). Quarry rock dust (QRD), a waste obtained during the ...
The quarry cluster at Abdullat is also surrounded by agriculture landscape. There also is presence of a perennial canal close to the stone quarries. At Kasaba Thane two quarries which are close to river Kasari and KT on the river. Quarry 2 is located at a distance of 107 m while quarry 1 is at 9 m from the river Kasari on its west side.
for the effects that human activities have upon the karst environment. Much of the concern is motivated by the adverse envi-ronmental impacts of previous human activities in karst areas and the effects that those impacts have had on the quality of life. Many human activities can negatively impact karst areas, includ-
Large land areas must be transformed for quarries, ideally not far from the regions where aggregates are needed, such as urban centers. This causes a number of environmental …
