3. Results and Discussion 3.1. Air Quality Quarries and stone cutting industries activities are normally associated with different types of pollution. Air pollution is regarded as the most notable one, where particulate matter (dust) with diameter 1-75µm are generated and found in the surrounding areas of such activities.

— In this study, we investigated the impact of quarrying as an environmental ethical crisis. The need for the study arose when we realised the deteriorating effect of the quality of life in our community, which is located next to a limestone quarry. To obtain a deeper understanding of the adverse impact on the environment and the quality of life of …
— Resource availability and extraction seem to present a paradox to most countries in the global south. It appears to be a curse rather than a blessing. Using the resource curse theory as a philosophical lens, this study qualitatively analysed the effects of the stone quarrying industry in the Wenchi municipality of Ghana. Using the case study …
