“…This background noise could magnify when coupled with noise from the proposed projects that may impair health of workers and neighborhoods including hearing. Vandana et al. (2020) have indicated that projects, particularly quarries, induce high noise pollution that damage human health.…”

“…Other than technology ( Anifowose et al., 2016 ), adverse impacts can be averted or minimized or compensated with location option ( Vandana et al., 2020 ; Padash and Ataee, 2019 ), input type used ( Li et al., 2019 ), product type produced ( Wu et al., 2019 ) or combination of any of these where none of the evaluated EIS proposed different location or input type use or product type characterization or technology than originally proposed even when the impacts were deemed higher.…”

“…Marchevsky, et al (2018), contribuyen que la evaluación del impacto ambiental constituye una herramienta importante, puesto que permite pronosticar el efecto que tendría la explotación de materiales en el entorno de la cantera. Por su parte, Vandana, et al (2020), manifiestan que las ciudades y sus zonas periféricas son en gran medida las responsables de la drástica degradación de los componentes ambientales por su excesivo consumo de materia para la construcción. Además, Vandana, et al (2020) afirman que los métodos de evaluación ambiental permiten identificar son herramientas eficientes para el diagnóstico de los impactos fisicoquímicos, biológicos y socioeconómicos, producto de la extracción pág.…”

Este artículo tiene por objetivo evaluar los impactos ambientales generados por la explotación de materiales en la cantera Taparachi ubicada en la ciudad de Juliaca – 2023; además de proponer un Plan de explotación. Por lo que, este estudio tuvo un enfoque cualitativo de nivel descriptivo mediante evaluaciones visuales haciendo uso de la Matriz de doble entrada de Leopold la cual permitió estimar los pasivos ambientales en función de su magnitud e importancia del impacto. Los Resultados obtenidos muestran que los componentes ambientales: aire, flora, fauna y paisaje sufren un impacto crítico negativo, con una valoración de 175, 264, 214 y 219 respectivamente; además, el componente económico tiene un impacto positivo con una valoración de 74. Concluyendo que: los pasivos ambientales en la cantera Taparachi generadas por la explotación de materiales empleados en la construcción, han generado un impacto crítico negativo a los componentes ambientales: flora, fauna y paisaje; pero también dicha actividad contribuye a la economía y ayuda a la expansión urbana; por lo que, es preciso poner en marcha un Plan de explotación de canteras para la conservación del medio ambiente de la zona durante y al finalizar la explotación el cual tendría un costo referencial de S/. 110,650.00.

“…Clearing land for construction of road causes habitat destruction for wild animals, and reducing grazzing areas for cattle, sheep and goats [7]. Noise pollution from blasting and transport of rocks in quarry area caused migration of people from surrounding areas and affecting ecological balance [8]. Lack of adequate mitigation measures further aggravate environmental problem.…”

Excessive demand for stones due to rapid infrastructure development led to uncontrolled stone quarrying in Mitrapur panchayat of Balasore district causing serious environmental degradation and socio-economic conflict. A large numbers of tribal people of this area are dependent on stone quarrying activities for carrying their livelihood. Methodology include field observation, photo documentation and interview of local people through a predesigned structured questionnaire to know the local people perception about the impacts of quarrying. This current study was conducted through collection of data from local people of five villages namely, Chatrikhunta, Chandipur, Patana, Kathagochhi and Jamudiha of Mitrapur panchayat of Balasore. Majority tribal people of study area (53%) depends upon quarrying activity for their livelihood. Many local people complained about various negative effects of stone quarrying activities. A vast majority of respondent stated that they suffered severely from the noise pollution caused from the stone quarry related activities (83%). Major source of noise pollution were stone crushers (54%), transport of material by truck/dumper/ tractor (24%) and use of dynamite in blasting operation in quarry (22%). About 40% respondent complained about the impact of dust pollution on agriculture. The availability of water resources in the study area varied from site to site. Many health impacts like bodily pain, eye infection, sleepless nights, headache, cough and chest pain have been reported due to engagement in stone quarrying. In spite of its contribution towards development, quarrying is also responsible for several negative environmental and socio-economic impacts, particularly when quarrying activity is carried out haphazardly.
