    Rock and mineral extraction has some positive impacts on the economy through exports, taxes, and jobs, but can negatively impact the environment and society. While it provides economic benefits, the processes can cause air and water pollution and health issues for communities from noise and other forms of pollution. On balance, while providing some benefits, rock and mineral extraction also carries risks of environmental degradation and social costs.
