Quarrying can become a major environmental concern because of the following reasons:
→ It may destroy the humus of soil which is much required for the growth of plants and crops. →It produces a lot of noise pollution due to use of explosives at times in order to break the huge chunks
of rocks.
→ In the process of quarrying lot of dust is generated which causes air pollution and also occupational
hazards.
→ Blasting done in the process of quarrying generate vibration which damage in the nearby buildings,
dams or any other similar structure.
