1.. IntroductionThe Portland cement manufacturing industry is under close scrutiny these days because of the large volumes of CO 2 emitted. Actually this industrial sector is thought to represent 5–7% of the total CO 2 anthropogenic emissions (Hendricks et al., 1998, Humphreys and Mahasenan, 2002).Therefore numerous studies have been done to evaluate CO 2 emissions and energy …About Press Copyright Contact us Creators Advertise Developers Terms Privacy Policy & Safety How YouTube works Test new features Press Copyright Contact us Creators ...

Environmental Impact of Cement. Cement is a fine gray powder used in the production of concrete and mortar. A total of 12 billion tons of concrete, 1 or approximately 3 billion tons of cement, 2 are used around the world each year. With each person consuming about 3 tons of cement annually, it is the second most used material on Earth after water. 3 Cement is an essential component in basic ...Mirzaee R, Kebriaei A, Hashemi SR, Sadeghi M, Shahrakipour M. Effects of exposure to Portland cement dust on lung function in Portland cement factory workers in Khash, Iran. Iran J Environ Health Sci Eng. 2008; 5 (3):201–6. 7. [Google Scholar]

This study investigated the effect of cement dust emitted from Dangote cement factory, Ibese, Ogun State, Nigeria on the environment and human health. Soil and plant samples were collected from six sampling points at different distances i.e. inside the factory kiln (IFK), the factory gate (TFG 50 m); Abule Oke (AOK 100 m), Maria (MAR 200 m), and Ibese (IBE 300m), based on the prevailing wind ...The cement industry accounts for 5% of all anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions, responsible for global warming, but it also has other negative effects on the environment which are sometimes overlooked. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are increasingly being used as an accepted way of comparing the environmental performance of ...

enhanced levels of toxic heavy metals in the environment of cement factory likely cobalt, lead, chromium, nickel, mercury (Baby et al., 2008) posing very potential hazard for all living organisms (Lewis and Mcintosh, 1989). Increased concentrations of the above pollutants cause progressive reduction in the photosynthetic abilitySalah M. El Haggar, in Environmental Solutions, 2005 Cement Industry. The cement industry is one of the main industries necessary for sustainable development. It can be considered the backbone for development. The main pollution source generated from cement industry is the solid waste called cement by-pass dust, which is collected from the bottom of the dust filter.

It is estimated that about 900 kg of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) gas is emitted into the environment for every ton of cement production (Benhelal et al., 2013), and the cement industry is accounted for ...Environmental Effects F Mitigation including the Environmental Management Plan and Monitoring G Conclusions A. Non Technical Executive Summary The summary should give an overview of the proposal, the alternatives considered, the time schedule for construction, the potential environmental impacts and their effects, and proposed mitigation measures.

Kate Harveston Environmental Conservation, Environmental Issues October 10, 2017. Factories negatively impact the environment through air pollutant emissions, toxic waste disposal and water contamination. Besides, they're also the major offenders when it comes to greenhouse gas contributions. Factories alone are responsible for nearly two ...industrialization and minimize its negative effects, a tripartite arrangement that involves the industry, the community and therefore the government must be involved in environmental monitoring and protection.

The cement process is sole reason why the concrete industry makes up 8% of overall global emissions and 12% of emissions in New Jersey. Global CO2 emissions by category. Cement is made by firing limestone, clay, and other materials in a kiln. CO2 is emitted from the energy used to fire the material, and the chemical reaction produced from the ...After water, concrete is the most widely used substance on Earth. If the cement industry were a country, it would be the third largest carbon dioxide emitter in the world with up to 2.8bn tonnes ...

Environmental Impact Assessment is a very exhaustive study that is required to be done to assess the possible positive or negative impact that a proposed project may have on the environment. EIA studies include environmental, social and economic aspects. This article specifically discusses the EIA studies on cement Industry.Adverse health effects of cement plant exposure have been found in occupational contexts but are less defined for the general population living near plants. We aimed to summarize the evidence on the health effects of people exposed to ambient air pollution by cement plants. A systematic review using …

Lafarge continue to negatively affect both the natural environment and human health in and around the cement factory in Chilanga. Based on the findings, the study recommends that the government through Zambia Environmental Management Agency (ZEMA) should step up to the challenge and start regularly monitoring the activities of Lafarge cement plant.The cement industry is highly affected by regulatory norms. This is prominent in developed countries where environmental issues are more stringent. This adds to the companies' costs.

substances in the cement mill environment. Besides cement dust various gaseous pollutants are also contributed by cement factories which cause pollution and ultimately affect human health. The various organ systems which get affected because of cement factories include: Allergic reactions that …The environmental impact of concrete, its manufacture and applications, are complex.Some effects are harmful; others welcome. Many depend on circumstances. A major component of concrete is cement, which has its own environmental and social impacts and contributes largely to those of concrete.. The cement industry is one of the main producers of carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse …

Cement is a pillar to develop infrastructures in Ethiopia. At the same time, cement production affects the local environment and nearby communities. Therefore, this paper aims to analyse the local environmental impacts of the Messebo Cement Factory in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia, and to identify the consequences of these impacts. ACement is one of the global economy's most carbon-polluting industries. Responsible for about 8% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2015, if it were ranked with individual countries ...
