Effects and impacts from quarrying are highli ghted in yellow. (Modifi ed from Williams, 1993a.) Carbonate rocks provide dimension stone, aggregate resources, and raw materials for cement and other industrial and agricultural uses. Over 70 percent of crushed stone produced in the United States is made from carbonate rock.

Limestone quarrying activities can led to health effects ranging from respiratory problems to mental disorders. Studies in Tanzania revealed that symptoms of heavy metal poisoning such as sensory disturbance, tremor, gingivitis, metallic taste, neurasthenia and night blindness are common (Harada et al., 1999).

The Impacts of Quarrying. The scale and technical proficiency of the modern quarrying means that it can have a major, potentially destructive, impact on archaeological remains and can result in significant harm to the significance of nearby heritage assets. But quarrying also offers rare potential to deliver new knowledge about our historic ...

Environmental Impacts. Concern regarding the impact of quarrying is hardly new. Complaints about the quarrying industry and its effects can be traced back as far as the late 1800's. The issues of concern have not changed as time has gone on. ... limestone quarrying helps aid this situation by eliminating the invasive plant themselves.

Quarrying can have a negative impact on the water table. Groundwater from the aquifer is pumped out of the ground and then treated before being released back into the ground. If the quarrying operations are not properly managed, the pumping of water can decrease the amount of water in the aquifer. This is called aquifer depletion.

Limestone mines use two types of blasting. Small explosive charges set along drilled lines free blocks of stone to be removed for construction. Large charges reduce whole areas of limestone to rubble, which is removed for use as crushed stone. The noise, dust, and impact from explosions can result in noise pollution and dust.
