Regarding to the four damage categories, 'resources' and 'climate change' categories were the two greatest environmental impacts of the limestone rock …
Environmental impacts of the mineral extraction have been a public concern. Presently, there is widespread global interest in the area of mining and its sustainability that focused on the need to shift mining industry to a more sustainable framework. The aim of this study was to systematically assess all possible environmental and climate change related …
The developmental activity in one country could impact its neighbouring country (Deka, 2021) so it is important to consider the broader or downstream area while studying the environmental impact assessment. The adverse impacts of mines are observed in different Himalayan countries.

Occupational health hazards: most of the miners suffer from various respiratory and ...
Results of IMPACT 2002+ analysis showed that per 1 ton crushed limestone rock production, the total depletion of resource and GHGs emissions were 79.6 MJ and 2.76 …
Our objectives were: Firstly, to analyze guidelines for the Impact Assessments of Non-Coal Mining projects and recommend sustainable strategies; …
This paper reviews the impact of cement industry towards the global environment and solutions to the problem. The increasing harvesting of raw materials for mounting cement manufacturing causes reduction in quantity of the non-renewable resources such as limestone.
A final point should be noted that data uncertainties in environmental assessment over the complete life cycle of limestone quarrying operation have to be carefully considered.
