Health Hazards of Mining and Quarrying ILO Encyclopaedia

Mar 13, 2011The most common processes that produce respirable silica dust in mining and quarrying are drilling, blasting and cutting silica-containing rock. Most holes drilled for blasting are done with an air powered percussion drill mounted on a tractor crawler. The hole is made with a combination of rotation, impact and thrust of the drill bit.

Environmental Hazards of Limestone Mining Sciencing

Dust is one of the most visible impacts associated with limestone quarrying due to the drilling, crushing and screening of the rock. The mine site conditions can affect the impact of dust generated during extraction, including rock properties, moisture, ambient air currents and prevailing winds, and the proximity to population centers.

Impact of Air Pollution from Quarrying and Stone Cutting

Furthermore, a notable negative impact of quarrying on plant biodiversity, habitat destruction, and plant survival is also revealed. Based on the questionnaire results and due to quarrying and stone cutting industries, wide range of the plants were affected or even extinct, in which olive was the most affected one with average respondents of 31%.

Impacts of quarry activities on water resources and

Quarry operations impact the environment in several ways, for instance quarry dust can change the chemistry of water resources by dissolving in them. Noise and mechanical shakes from blasting disturbs biodiversity and even humans who live nearby. Dust from quarry activities has been known to be the cause of many respiratory diseases and conditions.

Mining and Quarrying Impacts Encyclopedia

IntroductionHistorical Background and Scientific FoundationsImpacts and IssuesWords to KnowBibliographyMining and quarrying extract a wide range of useful materials from the ground such as coal, metals, and stone. These substances are used widely in building and manufacturing industry, while precious stones have long been used for adornment and decoration. Mining and quarrying involve investigating potential sites of extraction, then getting the required material out of the ground, and finally processing with heat or chemicals to get out the metal or other substance of interest.

Mine dust and you Fact sheets

The impact of dust from a nearby mine on local amenity depends on the distance from the mine site and climatic conditions such as wind. Concerns about amenity from mine site dust often relate to "visibility" of dust plumes and dust sources. Visible dust is usually due to short-term episodes of high emissions, such as from blasting.
