Environmental and Health Impacts of Cement Industry

An integrated development of the nation is very much desirable to ensure food, health and economic security for all people country. Development projects should go on but it not create ecological imbalance, because destruction environment poses serious threat survival human race. However, factors such as population explosion, rapid industrialization, over exploitation natural resources, increased transportation etc. have resulted in change climatic conditions, depletion ozone layer, increase air, water noise pollution. Under proper Environmental Management Plan, adverse environmental effects can be mitigated a great extent. Industrialization recognized backbone development. Availability resources coupled with infrastructural facilities, accelerate industrial growth.
