In this Review, we first examine the environmental impacts of cement and concrete production, use and disposal. We then look at potential areas for improvement, investigating what can be ...
The cement industry is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the United States. Cement manufacturers comply with stringent requirements under environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations, and have invested billions of dollars in minimizing emissions and waste, reducing energy consumption, and using lower-carbon raw …
The cement industry is a significant CO 2 emitter mainly due to the calcinations of raw materials and the combustions of fuels. Some measures have been considered to reduce the CO 2 emissions in cement industry, of which alternative raw materials are the most efficient practicing way. In this study, a LCA-based CO 2 …

Figure 2: Cement Manufacturing Process 3. Emissions from cement manufacturing The most significant environment health and safety issue of cement manufacturing is emission [15]. Cement industry is potential anthropogenic source of air pollution. It has estimated that cement production originates about 5% of global manmade CO 2
The DENR has pushed cement plants to burn plastic municipal wastes as alternative fuel to help address the country's solid waste problem. But critics are raising health concerns. They're also urging the government to focus on requiring manufacturers to reduce plastic production instead. Lea Alomia has started to strain her voice.
1. Introduction. Cement industry is one of the leading contributors of greenhouse gases after power plant industries. Approximately 4.1 billion metric tons of cement are currently produced globally every year, accounting for about 8 to 10 percent of global anthropogenic CO 2 emissions (Wang, 2020), and is expected to continually …
Key points. Large-scale replacement of cement by other materials is not …
The cement industry is regulated as part of the mining industry in the United States, and strict health and safety regulations must be followed at every plant and distribution site across the country. The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is statutorily required to inspect all surface mines and facilities at least two times each year ...
The broad objective of the review was to provide a detailed systematic …
Cement and global warming. • Making cement results in high levels of CO 2 output. • Cement production is the third ranking producer of anthropogenic (man-made) CO 2 in the world after transport and energy generation. • 4 - 5% of the worldwide total of CO 2 emissions is caused by cement production. - the first is as a byproduct of burning ...
Dust hazards are a significant concern in Indian cement plants due to the high levels of dust generated during production processes. Exposure to cement dust can have negative health effects on workers, including respiratory issues such as bronchitis and asthma, as well as skin and eye irritation. Some of the major sources of dust hazards in ...
This investigation focuses on the environmental impacts of cement …
Cement manufacturing is an energy and resource intensive process with both local and global environmental, health and safety impacts. Because of these impacts, ensuring healthy and safe …
The cement industry confronts significant challenges in raw materials, energy demands, and CO2 emissions reduction, which are global and local environmental concerns. Life cycle assessment (LCA) has …
In the Italian cement sector this practice covers 36% of total solid waste production . Atmosphere emissions are related to implementation of Best Available Techniques (BAT) for cement industry, as reported in the European Reference document for the "Production of Cement, Lime and Magnesium Oxide" .
The cement industry is a significant greenhouse gases emitter mainly due to the …
This paper reviews the impact of cement industry towards the global environment and solutions to the problem. The increasing harvesting of raw materials for mounting cement manufacturing causes reduction in quantity of the non-renewable …
Occupational health and safety has become a public health priority in industrialized countries and a primary concern, especially in high risk industries (Rachid et. al. 2015). Cement manufacturing is one of these industries. Cement is one of the most widely used construction material on earth. Because cement has been used commonly, its health ...
Research has shown that the leading cause of environmental disruptions is the continuously rising CO2 levels from emitting biomass, concrete production, and desertification, which are the major causes of CO2. As of 2020, the current trend of CO2 emission in Nigeria from cement production is still on the rise.
The study's main objective is to inquire into the emission inventory repercussions of toxic substances on soil, water, and air for 1 cement bag produced by cement industry in Hattar Industrial ...
Cement is the key ingredient in concrete products. Comprising roughly 12% of the average residential-grade ready mix concrete, cement is the binding agent that holds sand and other aggregates together in a hard, stone-like mass. Portland cement accounts for about 95% of the cement produced in North America.
This study examines the consequences of cement production on the …
Topmost in the hierarchy of significant environmental hazards that could be adduced to cement production industries revolves around allergenic complications to respiratory system challenges. To this end, this paper reviewed the intricacy between cement industries and its associated health and environmental implications with a focus on …
The Indian cement industry must adhere to various environmental measures and regulations announced by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), which cover a wide range of environmental issues, including air pollution, water consumption, commercial waste production and disposal, hazardous waste use and …
