Influência do Material particulado de empreendimento de beneficiamento de Calcário no Ph do Solo

Abstract

This study examines the changes in soil and vegetation within public domain areas affected by the dispersion of particulate matter from a limestone milling facility in Curimatá - Piauí. The aim is to understand the repercussions of limestone extraction and refining activities on soil quality, vegetation and local socio-environmental aspects. The methodology included soil sampling for pH determination and sediment traps to quantify particulate deposition. Findings reveal an increase in soil, with higher concentrations of limestone particles closer to the milling site. The environmental implications of these changes are discussed, underscoring the need for sustainable management and conservation practices. It is concluded that refining activities have substantial impacts on soil quality potentially affecting local biodiversity and ecosystem health
