This study evaluates the environmental impact of the cement production and its variations between different cement plants, using Life Cycle Impact Assessment. For that purpose, details of the cement production processes are investigated in order to show the respective part of raw materials preparation and clinker production using environmental

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
“The cement industry is at the center of the climate change debate — but the world needs construction material for schools, hospitals and homes,” said Olivier Luneau, head of sustainability
An Accra High Court has halted the construction of a cement factory at McCharty and environmental hazards, it quickly contacted the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). to the effect
Emissions from the Cement Industry. A single industry accounts for around 5 percent of global carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions. It produces a material so ubiquitous it is nearly invisible: cement. It is the primary ingredient in concrete, which in turn forms the foundations and structures of the buildings we live and work in, and the roads and
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. A

Yet producing the portland cement that binds concrete together is energy intensive and emits enormous amounts of carbon dioxide (CO 2) as well as numerous other pollutants. Fly ash can replace a percentage of portland cement in concrete, thus reducing the impacts of concrete while using a material that would otherwise be landfilled.

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.

Well Regulated by the U.S. EPA Asphalt plants, or more accurately asphalt pavement mixing facilities, are industrial operations that mix liquid asphalt binder (also called asphalt cement) with crushed rock, gravel, and sand (collectively called ag - gregates) to make pavement. Asphalt binder, the glue
the toxic effect of cement dust on some plants. The effect of cement and stone dust on the stomatal clogging of Iphonia grantioidesBoiss. leaves was found by Abdullah & Iqbal (1991). A marked reduction in the growth of poplar trees, 1 mile from a cement plant was observed after cement production was more than doubled (Lerman & Darley, 1975).
Cement industry is involved in the development of structure of this ad … Even in the 21st century, millions of people are working daily in a dusty environment. They are exposed to different types of health hazards such as fume, gases and dust, which are risk factors in developing occupational disease.
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
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.
How do cement factories affect the environment? Climate. Cement manufacture contributes greenhouse gases directly through the production of carbon dioxide when calcium carbonate is heated ( producing lime and carbon dioxide) and indirectly through the use of energy, particularly if the energy is sourced from fossil fuels.

Factory pollution is often thought of as mostly smokestack emissions but can include acidifying rain, chemical spills, greenhouse gases and toxic waste disposal. Industry pollutes water and land as well. Once pollutants enter the atmosphere or the water system, they can spread beyond the factory.
Cement factory pollution can give rise to poor air quality in the surrounding urban environment. For that reason national environmental regulators are increasing controls on air quality at cement factories. A recent example comes from the United Arab Emirates where several factories have implemented ambient air monitoring systems.
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.
They alleged that the factory will have implications on the environment and the health of the people living in and around the catchment area. The Assembly Members within the Weija-Gbawe Municipal Assembly (WGMA) also, on the 13th October 2021, held a press conference to kick against the closure of the Empire Cement Ghana Limited.

3.2 Environmental effect due to cement manufacturing process Emissions to air is the main environmental challenge faced by the cement industry. Main pollutions of cement productions include; cement dust, air pollution, water pollution, solid waste pollution noise pollution, ground vibration and resources depletion due to raw material extraction.
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.
