quarries used to produce concret that contribute to the various types of construction and provide both economic and social benefits. However, the intensive activities of quarrying disregard to the environment impact leads to a series of socio-economic and environmental problems. Hence, the study area is one of the most potential

and also negative impact in a country in terms of environmental, social, economy and politic aspects (Worrall et al., 2009). Meanwhile, limestone quarry that mostly operates in Malaysia are one of the quarry which have the lowest negative impact towards environment and humans surrounding (Pelekasi et al., 2012).

Optimize limestone recovery efficiency while positively affecting community social and economic impact. Halting and buffering potentially detrimental urban expansion. Eliminate non-native vegetation, revitalize the wetlands, and contribute to restoring the Everglades overall. Educate various community groups and the general public of the Lake ...

The objectives of this study are therefore to assess the environmental effects of limestone quarrying and its effects on the health status of the community. It is hoped that the results of this study will not only help environmental scientists but also politicians in policy formulation. 2. Materials and Methods. 2.1. The Study Area

The Impact of Quarrying. Quarrying is necessary to provide much of the materials used in traditional hard flooring, such as granite, limestone, marble, sandstone, slate and even just clay to make ceramic tiles. However, like many other man-made activities, quarrying causes a significant impact on the environment.

routinely so as to minimize the negative effects of quarrying operations on humans and the environment. Further research on more advanced methods that can reduce the effects of the quarrying activity on the environment should be carried out. Research should be carried out to identify the effects of the waste being dumped in the

CHAPTER ONE. INTRODUCTION. 1.1 Background of the study. Limestone quarrying is a major economic activity in many developing countries including Nigeria. Nigeria is endowed with abundant mineral resources of international value, including gold, marble, gypsum, gemstones, iron ore, natural gas, topaz, coal, clay, lead, tar sand, construction stone and …

crushed stone output. Of the total domestic crushed stone produced in 2020, about 70% was limestone and dolomite; 15%, granite; 6%, traprock; 5%, miscellaneous stone; 3%, sandstone and quartzite; and the remaining 1% was divided, in descending order of tonnage, among marble, volcanic cinder and scoria, calcareous marl, slate, and shell.

Quarrying of rocks and minerals has contributed to the economic development of many nations. However, dusts generated from these quarries have caused environmental and health challenges.

A quarry is an area from which rocks such as marble, limestone, and granite are extracted for industrial use. Once depleted of their desired resources, quarries are frequently abandoned. The resulting gaping holes can fill with water and form dangerous quarry lakes while others are turned into unsightly landfills.

most of quarry sites are on hills which mainly serve as a water catchment area. Table 1.

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 …
