Sandstone quarrying is a highly polluting activity which produces a huge amount of dust and waste slurry emissions. Sandstone quarrying dust and wastes were found to be polluting nearby agricultural land and severely affecting the health of quarry workers (Ahmad, 2015; Singhal and Goel, 2020).A time-series study conducted on the …

3. Processing Chemicals Pollution. This kind of pollution occurs when chemical agents (such as cyanide or sulphuric acid used by mining companies to separate the target mineral from the ore) spill, leak, or leach from the mine site into nearby water bodies. These chemicals can be highly toxic to humans and wildlife. 4.

Some mining and quarrying wastes can be reused in earthworks and construction, in particular, the coarser fractions. Typical applications include use in asphalt pavements (Albuquerque et al. 2006; Akbulut and Gürer 2007) and concrete (Yellishetty et al. 2008; Hebhoub et al. 2011). However, recent studies on the reuse of fine tailings as …
