Cement kilns firing hazardous waste are explicitly mentioned in the Stockholm Convention as an "industrial source having the potential for comparatively high formation and release of these chemicals to the environment". The substitution of fossil fuels with alternative waste derived fuels is a well-developed practice in a number of countries. In the European cement industry about 6 million tonn...

This study aimed to determine the effect of long term exposure to cement dust on lung function in non-smoking cement mill workers. This is a cross-sectional study of respiratory functions. Spirometry was performed in 100 apparently healthy volunteers; 50 non-smoking cement mill workers and 50 non-smoking un-exposed subjects. Based on the duration of exposure, cement mill workers were divided in...

cement dust exposure is associated with increased respiratory impairment. as the major occupational hazard in the cement production industry is cement particles, our aim was to more thoroughly examine the acute effects of occupational exposure to cement dust on the respiratory system. a cross-shift study was conducted in a cement factory in iran. 100 high exposed workers from production and pac...

Most of the world’s water is saline and is contained in the oceans. Only about 2% of it is fresh of which 97% is tied up in the polar caps in the form of permanent snow and in deep depths below the ground. Scarcity of potable water for the construction is the main reason to look for alternate source of water. Industrial waste water is potential alternate for construction industry. Recycling and...
