operations. These environmental impacts will becomes as a major threat to the residents of the quarrying sectors with various health diseases. 2. Objectives of the study and Methodology The main objectives of the study are: 1. To examine the environmental and health impacts of quarrying activities among the quarry workers in the study area. 2.

Environmental sustainability is a growing concern in the quarrying industry. Advanced environmental sensors and monitoring systems help quarries track emissions, air quality, water usage, and noise levels. Real-time data allows operators to adjust operations to minimize environmental impact and comply with regulations.

This paper focuses on the environmental, economic, and social impact of stone and marble industry in the Middle East and North Africa region taking Palestine as a case study.

blasting; thus, the adverse impacts of blasting can be controlled and reduced [6]. Several authors deal with the use of mathematical modeling to predict vibration from blasting while also using elements of artificial intelligence. Such a modeling system has been developed for decades [7,8]. Various tools are used to solve vibration predic-tion.

Locally there are different environmental impacts due to the quarry sites of aggregates; the major impacts are summarized in the following section. 3.1 Impact on landscape and land stability Stripping, excavating, damping of the overburden soil, drilling, and blasting of the rocks are the serious causes of soil erosion due to the quarry sites.
