“…Stones from Africa, Oceania, and other Asian areas, such as China and the Near and Middle East, remain unacknowledged in recognized scientific networks, even if European, Arabic, and Chinese architectural styles all emerged from long ancient civilizations. The stone-built heritage in countries such as Turkey [27,28], from which both Pavonazzetto marble and Urfa Limestone are published and described as candidates, have not yet been considered as important heritage stones in heritage; the heritage of Lebanon [29,30], Syria [31], Iraq [32], Israel [33], Jordan, [34], Palestine (where natural stone played an important role in the architecture of old cities in the mountain region, such as Jerusalem, Hebron, Bethlehem, and Nablus) [35,36], Saudi Arabia, other nations of the Arabian Peninsula [37], and Iran [38] is also as important as the heritage of the so-called occidental world. Unfortunately, some of these unrepresented areas are very unstable, with political conflicts (e.g., Syria, Iraq, and Palestine), natural hazards, such as earthquakes (e.g., Turkey), and anthropic hazards, such as wars and accidents (e.g., Taliban wars in Afghanistan, a gas explosion in Lebanon), frequently affecting communities.…”

The use of stone to build shelters was an important step in terms of ensuring buildings’ durability and security in pre-historic times. It was also an acknowledgment of power and grandeur when societies demonstrated their respect for their leaders and gods by building stone monuments. For this reason, cathedrals, churches, and other magnificent religious monuments were built around the globe; however, the importance of the stone used in their construction itself is not sufficiently appreciated as the key factor ensuring the endurance of these historic buildings. While Western countries have long used iconic buildings to promote their heritage and advance in other socio-economic aspects, including tourism, other regions are yet to take full advantage of this outlook, even though their monumental structures may be equally impressive. Those important monuments are built of stone, which were referred to as Heritage Stones by some research groups, and their recognition would showcase the cultural and geological diversity of the world. However, there are many stones of heritage importance from geographic areas that are under-represented in the scientific literature and the work of research groups. This paper presents a review of the degree of geographical diversity in the recognition of stones and their heritage value.

“…The study concluded that LSI results in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Accordingly, the study recommended that environmental impacts of LSI can be reduced by locating workshops (such as stone-cutting facilities) directly near the stone quarries, as being the raw material supplying points [19].…”

Significant Statement: Air pollution is a catastrophic problem that affects the lives of people all over the world. This includes the diverse impacts of air pollution on public health, the environment, and ecosystems in general, including the biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere. This paper addressed the issue of air pollution in the West Bank, Historic Palestine, and specifically discussed the potential effects of air pollution on the public health of Palestinian communities in the areas of research, and provided the necessary recommendations to reduce those effects.
