Egypt’s Limestone Quarries in Minya, Egypt

Summary

edit
Description
English: In these limestone quarries, laborers in sandals and makeshift masks use unsheathed rotary blades to cut the White Mountain rocks into bricks of sizes 30 centimeters by 40 centimeters. This process requires power cords and large machines which work with a force of up to 400 volts. Because of the powder, the whole worksite transforms into a hazy location, and even in this view, you will find that they are working despite the lack of vision, which is immensely dangerous. Some have lost their arms, legs, or fingers in accidents, and there remains a high risk of various respiratory infections, hearing impairments, eye infections, fever, and skin diseases.
