“…Unfortunately, cement manufacturing is one of the most polluting activities, emitting toxic dust and gases into the atmosphere. Cement production is responsible for about 7% of the greenhouse gases emitted worldwide through its carbon dioxide emissions [9,10]. Moreover, the primary constituents of cement, such as silicon dioxide, calcium oxide, iron oxide, and aluminum trioxide, can induce toxic effects [11].…”

Cement is widely used in the building industry because it is reliable and because its basic ingredients are inexpensive and abundant. However, the production of cement produces heavy metal-laden dust that can harm humans and the environment. This study aimed to determine the risk posed by heavy metals in the soil around a cement company in Sokoto, Nigeria. Soil samples were obtained at 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 km from the company and served as test samples, while control samples were obtained at 5.0 km away. The soil samples were treated and assayed for lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) using atomic absorption spectroscopy. The values obtained were used to estimate the heavy metals’ average daily inhalation (ADI), average daily dermal exposure (ADDE), hazard quotient (HQ), health risk index (HRI), and carcinogenic risk (CR). Permissible levels of all the heavy metals were detected at all the locations (0.1 > 0.5 > 1.0 > 5.0 km). However, the ADI, ADDE, HQ, HRI, and CR of the heavy metals were above the permissible limits. It can be inferred from the results that the soil around the company can predispose humans to heavy metal toxicities. Consequently, the company needs to prioritize pollution control.

“…Slump or collapse of the concrete mix is the most widely known for monitoring the workability of concrete. The workability of fresh concrete is related to the flow and cement water factor in the micro planes between the cement paste and aggregate during preparation, transportation, and vibration when placing the concrete into the formwork [20].…”

This research aims to utilize marble industrial waste which is not utilized optimally and reduce air pollution as a result of cement production in cement industrial factories which produce a lot of CO2 emissions. The results of this research indicate that the use of 25 % Graphite Carbon Marble Particle Powder, to replace 25 % of the cement volume in making concrete with quality plans K-250 or fc’ 20,75 MPa. The results obtained are higher concrete quality than the quality of each concrete planned for the DCT type = 22,39 MPa > 20,75 MPa, DCL type = 22,76 MPa > 20,75 MPa, WCT type = 22,14 MPa > 20,75 MPa and WCL type = 22,89 MPa > 20,75 MPa. The compressive strength testing process is caried out based on ASTM C 39/C 39M – 05. Meanwhile for workability based on the results of the slump test, a slump value of 12 cm is obtained with the testing process referring to SNI 1972:2008 and ASTM C143/C143M-12.

“…Some other pollutants released during cement production are volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons [9]. Moreover, cement production accounts for approximately 40% of global carbon dioxide emissions and 7% of greenhouse gases emitted worldwide [10][11][12]. Among the pollutants in cement dust, heavy metals pose the greatest risk due to their non-biodegradability, persistence, and toxicity, even in minute quantities.…”

The pollution of the environment by cement manufacturing companies is becoming a global concern, particularly in developing nations. This study assessed the levels of heavy metals and their associated health risks in sugarcanes (Saccharum officinarum), tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum), and almonds (Prunus dulcis) cultivated in the vicinity of a cement factory in Sokoto, Nigeria. Samples of these plants were collected, treated, and then assayed for lead (Pb), copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), and zinc (Zn) using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The values obtained were compared against the permissible limits established by the World Health Organization (WHO), and these results were used to estimate the potential health risks associated with consuming these plants. The findings revealed that both the Solanum lycopersicum and Saccharum officinarum contained non-tolerable levels of Cu, Cd, Pb, and Zn, while Prunus dulcis had non-tolerable levels of Zn only. Additionally, the concentrations of individual heavy metals in each of the three plant species showed a significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) from the respective WHO standards. The estimated daily intake (EDI) and target hazard quotient (THQ) for all the heavy metals were within the recommended limits, except for the EDI of Pb in Saccharum officinarum and the THQ of Pb in Solanum lycopersicum. The health risk index (HRI) for all the heavy metals in the three plants exceeded the tolerable limit (> 1). These findings indicate that daily consumption of these plants may pose health hazards. Therefore, the practice of cultivating plants in the vicinity of cement factories should be discouraged.
