Answer:

Quarrying can become a major environmental concern because it may destroy the humus of soil which is much required for the growth of plants. It produces a lot of noise pollution due to use of explosives in order to break the huge chunks of rocks.

Explanation:

Quarrying is the commercial extraction of building raw material, stones and marbles. It can become a major environmental concern due to the following reasons:

1) Fine dust particles which spread in the air around a quarrying site causes air pollution and respiratory problems.

2) It produces noise pollution because of the heavy machinery and the blasts to break huge chunks of rocks.

3) Blasting often generates vibration which may damage the nearby buildings or similar structures.

4) Destroys the natural vegetation and ruins the natural habitats for plants and animals.
