Cement and Concrete Environmental Considerations Is concrete bad for the environment thegreenagecouk
The water sand and gravel or crushed stone used in concrete production in addition to cement are also abundant typical proportions of a residential concrete mix are shown in Table 1 With all of these raw materials the distance and quality of the sources have a big impact on transportation energy use water use for washing and dust Concrete and cement are terms that are often used interchangeably however cement is actually an ingredient that makes up concrete along with water sand and gravel Cement acts as a hydraulic binding material hardening with water and tying together all the aggregate materials

What are the problems OSPAR CommissionQuarries and Ancillary Activities Guidelines for Planning
What are the problems The removal of sediments can have adverse impacts on marine species and habitats The impact may be due to physical or chemical changes in the environment at or near the dredging site The extent of the impact depends on the size characteristics and sensitivity of the dredged area and the dredging techniquethat planning authorities should recognise that quarries including sand and gravel pits vary greatly in size with varying environmental impacts and that the planning response to proposed developments should be tailored accordingly These Guidelines are published by the Minister for the Environment
