Well, the quarries that are made to get the limestone, destroy the habitats of loads of animals and destroys the landscape views. The dust and noise pollution is bad for neighbors aswell, if you look at it in a social way.

∙ 13y agoThe greenhouse gases produced in the process of mining and in the manufacture of cement from limestone are the great concerns for the environment.
The quarrying of limestone as masonry produces no great problems, but the emissions of mining machinery are detrimental to the environment as they are run on fossil fuels, which on burning produce greenhouse gases.
But most limestone is mined for the manufacture of cement, and this is a real problem. The firing of the limestone to produce Calcium Oxide (CaO) is usually done with coal, so we have the (CO2) from the coal burning, as well as the CO2 driven off from the Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) to produce reactive lime used in the cement production. Thus, Carbon-di-Oxide, which is a greenhouse gas, given off in the manufacture of cement effects the environment resulting in global warming.

It also interferes with the natural Eco-systems, plants and animals that are there, even with a high level of management, may never be able to re-establishthemselves there.
