Abstract and Figures. The attention to environmental impacts of cement production has grown fast in recent decades. The cement industry is a significant
Noise pollution has an adverse effect on human health. For example, longterm exposure to high noise can lead to hearing loss [24]. Moreover, in the cement industry, various operations like
Cement and global warming. • Making cement results in high levels of CO 2 output. • Cement production is the third ranking producer of anthropogenic (manmade) CO 2 in the world after transport and energy generation. • 4

The direct CO 2 intensity of cement production increased about 1.5% per year during . In contrast, 3% annual declines to 2030 are necessary to get on track with the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario. Sharper focus is needed in two key areas: reducing the clinkertocement ratio (including through greater uptake of blended cements) and
The cement calcination process releases a huge amount of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and carbon dioxide. Additionally, cement is corrosive to steel structures (AlSodani et al., ) and can cause contamination of soils (AlAmoudi et al., ; Alshammari et al., ).Governments around the world have imposed stringent
process is a major source of emissions such as NOx, SOx, CO2, particulate matters etc. In this paper, the role of cement industry is reviewed in causing impact on environment and health. It describes the cement production process and its emission sources followed by overview of emissions and their environmental and health
The cement industry recognizes its responsibility to manage the environmental impact, associated with the manufacturing of its product. Mainly, there are two types of cement production process; such as wet process and dry process. The preparation of cement includes mining, crushing, and grinding of raw materials, calcining the
The cement industry produces about 5% of global manmade CO2 emissions, of which 50% is from the chemical process, and 40% from burning fuel. The amount of CO2 emitted by the cement industry is
Cement is bad for the environment because it emits carbon dioxide (CO 2) emission and other greenhouse gases, posing harm to air quality in earth’s atmosphere. Concrete alters the preexisting ecosystem leading to loss of fertile soil and loss of biodiversity. The cement industry is also responsible for noise pollution and ground
EIA stands for Environmental Impact Assessment. UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) defines Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as a tool used to identify the environmental, social and economic impacts of a project prior to decisionmaking. Today we are going to look at one of the most important processes of EIA for the

The aim of this paper is to illuminate the impacts of cement production emissions on the environment. Various research work has shown that countries in subSaharan Africa, suffer the most from environmental pollution especially air pollution. One of such contributing factors is the behavioural pattern of workers and traders living close to
Cement industries produce millions of tons of byproducts each year, including dust, toxic gases, and heavy metals, which pose respiratory health hazards and environmental pollution. Although several literatures have investigated environmental impact in cement factories, the extent to which these assessments affect the population has
As shown in Table 1, economic effects of the purchase of concrete, supply chain impacts are also crucial in estimating the total environmental effects of cement concrete. Table 4 lists the top 25 energy contributors to producing $1000 worth of concrete. The two largest contributors, as expected, are cement production and the final mixing of
Cement is the key ingredient that makes concrete such a useful building material, and we use over 4 billion tonnes of it globally every year. Cement production alone generates around 2.5 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year—about 8% of

If the cement industry were a country, it would be the third largest emitter in the world. In , it generated around 2.8bn tonnes of CO2, equivalent to 8% of the global total a greater share than any
