Let's look at six top limestone mining issues. 1. Groundwater Contamination. Limestone is mined underground, but vital groundwater is located underground too. When there is a limestone mine near a groundwater source, …

On the other hand, it has been shown that limestone mining has a negative impact on land resources, pastures and subsistence agriculture of the local population, and can also lead to environmental changes in the area under consideration as a whole. It should be noted that some scientific statements and research results are well illustrated with ...

impact in mine, analyses various environmental impact and controlling measures, identify appropriate measures for human health and safety. 2. MATERIALS AND METHODS 2.1 Study Area The study area selected for the field experiments is Lakshmi Cement Limestone mine, Sirohi, Rajasthan. The mining area falls under the survey of India, Topo Sheet

In this study, we investigated the impact of quarrying as an environmental ethical crisis. The need for the study arose when we realised the deteriorating effect of the quality of life in our community, which is located next to a limestone quarry. ... A Case Study of Limestone Mining in a Rural Community Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2024 ...

Quarries may have a negative health impact. Stringent health and safety regulations can offset some of the negative health impacts that quarrying limestone may cause, but not all of them. Inhaling the dust from a limestone …

From 2015 to 2021, five massive pillar collapses occurred at four underground stone mines in the eastern USA. These events resulted in powerful airblasts that damaged mine infrastructure and mobile equipment, seriously injured miners, and disrupted underground travelways. Each of these pillar collapses propagated through the overlying strata, causing a …

From 2000 to 2020, open-pit mining at the Wulishan limestone mine in Anhui Province, China, increased the area of direct vegetation destruction by 9.072 × 10 5 m 2, and the indirect impact area on vegetation was 7.371 × 10 5 m 2. The carbon emission cost of vegetation destruction in the direct destruction area was about 104,000 yuan per year ...

If limestone mining is not property taken care of, here are a few key things that it can influence: Groundwater. Groundwater is vital to both drinking and farming, as well as providing a large source of fresh water for housing, …

Throughout the world, limestone mining activities have marked negative environmental impacts in view of the fact that limestone mining involves extraction of limestone from the earth's crust by removing vegetation cover, top soil, and rocks that lie above the required limestone hence exacerbate deforestation and land degradation (William, 2001).

Limestone comes in many different varieties. Chalk is a very fine grained, porous marine limestone composed almost entirely of microscopic fossils. Travertine is a freshwater sedimentary limestone that has very thin, crenu-lated layers and is commonly formed at springs. Marble is a carbonate rock, usually a marine limestone, that has been

drainage originating from the coal and ore mining processes in general and open-pit mining in particular are well documented in the literature (Cherry et al. 2001; Skousen et al. 2002). Even though the environmental impacts of ore and coal mining have been adequately investigated, the impact of limestone rock mining has not been well studied.
