Air Quality Quarries and stone cutting industries activities are normally associated with different types of pollution. Air pollution is regarded as the most notable one, where particulate matter (dust) with diameter 1-75µm are generated and found in the surrounding areas of such activities. Particles with aerodynamic diameters of less than ...
