Concrete is the most widely used construction material and, for the most part, is
produced using non-renewable natural resources and energy intensive processes which
emit greenhouse gasses. With growing environmental consciousness at all levels of
society, the pollution and health hazards are especially associated with the concrete,
cement and clay-bricks industries, coming under intense scrutiny from
environmentalists and the governments. The developed countries are farther ahead in
tackling the problem by using industrial, construction & demolition waste and
agricultural wastes in their industries. These industrial and agricultural wastes are
mostly the by-products of oil and coal burning processes, ground granular blast furnace
slag, Rice Husk Ash, Sugar Cane Bagasse Ash, fly ash, cement dust, stone crusher dust,
marble dust, brick dust, sewer sludge, glass, tires, etc. Million tons of these waste
materials are abundantly available and it is discarded every year in the world without
knowing its valuable resources. They pose environmental problems like air pollution
and leaching of hazardous and toxic chemicals (arsenic, beryllium, boron, cadmium,
chromium, chromium(VI), cobalt, lead, manganese, mercury, molybdenum, selenium,
strontium, thallium, and vanadium, along with dioxins and polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbon compounds, etc.) when dumped in landfills, quarries, rivers and oceans.
Consequently, air and water pollution have been inextricably linked to environmental
problems and climate change.
