dc.description.abstract The limestone quarrying was occurring in the proposed study area. Environmental parameters, socio-economic and health impacts of quarrying were monitored. The noise level was comparatively high in the quarry area with the values ranging from 55 dB (A) to 89 dB (A).Similarly, surface water quality parameters, ground water quality parameters and ambient air quality was also monitored and compared with the NEQS values. PM10 was ranging from 139 to 187 µg/m3 , NO2 values from 58 to 87 µg/m3 , TDS value was 3675 mg/l and TSS was high with the value 230 mg/l. The socioeconomic status of the local residents was monitored and the health problems of the locals working and living near the site were also identified in which the main health issue is linked to dust. Dust problem and water shortage was the main problem of the area. Social issues and health problems were also linked to some of the parameters that were high. en_US
