The environmental impact of concrete, its manufacture, and its applications, are complex, driven in part by direct impacts of construction and infrastructure, as well as by CO 2 emissions; between 4-8% of total global CO 2 emissions come from concrete. [1] Many depend on circumstances.

For many years, lead cell batteries were destroyed there and the lead was extracted, leaving the untreated cases on site. An environmental assessment showed that the site was contaminated due to the presence of heavy metals, lead and hydrocarbon pollution. Cement based S/S was employed to successfully remediate 600 tonnes of contaminated soil. [10]
The main components of LC3 cements are clinker, calcined clay, limestone, and gypsum. [24] [25] [26] The fresh concrete production involves synergetic hydration.[10] [27] Adding large amounts of calcined clay and ground limestone to the dry cement powder, [28] [29] when adding water to the mix for making concrete, cement and additives start to hydrate and the soluble aluminates released in ...
Ethiopia has 20 cement factories which produce mainly OPC and PPC cement. Two other cement factories are in the pipeline. As of 2017, production capacity in Ethiopian, according to the Ethiopian Reporter, [14] has increased to 15 million tonnes per year, but local consumption is only 6 million tonnes per year.
In the Awash basin in central Ethiopia floods and droughts are common. Agriculture in the basin is mainly rainfed (without irrigation systems). This applies to around 98% of total cropland as of 2012. So changes in rainfall patterns due to climate change will reduce economic activities in the basin. [5] Rainfall shocks have a direct impact on ...
An environmental assessment (EA) is an environmental analysis prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act to determine whether a federal action would significantly affect the environment and thus require a more detailed Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
