The aim of this study was therefore to assess all possible environmental and climate change related impacts associated with limestone quarrying operation in Thailand by using a life cycle assessment approach. 2.

Abstract. A quarry is an area from which rocks such as marble, limestone, and granite are extracted for industrial use. Once depleted of their desired resources, quarries are frequently abandoned. The resulting gaping holes can fill with water and form dangerous quarry lakes while others are turned into unsightly landfills.
