Stone quarrying is a form of land use method concerned with the extraction of non-fuel and non-metal minerals from rocks. Using the qualitative model, the paper interrogates the Stone quarry is an outdated term for mining construction rocks (limestone, marble, granite, sandstone, etc.). There are open types (called quarries, or open-pit mines) and closed types (mines and caves). For thousands of years, only hand tools had been used in quarries. In the eighteenth century, the use of drilling and blasting operations was mastered. Quarry

Explosives-originated nitrogen emissions from dimension stone quarrying
Although some undetonated explosives are carried to the waste rock piles along with the stone material, the main sources of N emissions at the dimension stone quarrying site seem to be pit dewatering water. In drainage waters, NO 3 −, together with NH 4 +, was the most dominant N species, while NO 2 − concentrations were relatively low.Apart from this stone quarrying and crushing activities in any area leads to dramatic land-use transformation, and it hampers the local ecosystem's health (Xiao et al., 2018).Life Cycle Inventory of techniques for stone quarrying, cutting

Stone obtained by blasting is normally small in size, and they are used as ballast in railway, aggregate for concrete road metal, etc.The limited number of LCA studies in this field could partially be ascribed to the high variability of the natural stone production chain (mainly related to the choice of techniques/technologies and to site-specific conditions) and, most probably, to the scarce availability of Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) datasets specific to the most common stone Life Cycle Inventory of technologies for stone quarrying, cutting
