Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) listed limestone is used to increase calcium levels and correct soil acidity. Agricultural limestone and dolomite are important for improving soil and plant health for a greater crop yield. Limestone is also an important source of calcium in animal feeds for poultry and cattle, producing high-quality eggs, milk and meat products. • Environmental Cleanup - Limestone is an excellent reagent for neutralizing the harmful effects of sulfates and sulfuric acid emissions from fossil fuel combustions at coal-fired power plants. The power industry utilizes limestone for safe, environmental remediation of contaminants that otherwise would be released in the atmosphere. Limestone also neutralizes the toxic effects of high acidity soil conditions. • Construction & Manufacturing - Limestone aggregates ranging in size from a fine powder to large rocks are preferred in many applications due to their consistent quality and safe, non-toxic properties. • Glass & Household Products - Limestone is an essential ingredient in the production of glass for bottles, windows, food containers and windshields. Blue Mountain Minerals helps many businesses produce a variety of products, supplying limestone to many glass manufacturing plants.
