Concrete is a broad field and the most used building material in the world. The use of concrete is increasing day by day. However, the negative impact of the increased demand for concrete is its environmental impact. Concrete production, while encouraging development, pollutes the environment at an alarming rate. Cement production has many harmful emissions and the extraction of raw materials such as limestone, clay and aggregates destroys the terrain. Emissions into the atmosphere during the production of cement and concrete not only contribute to global warming, but also have a significant impact on the local environment. This paper describes all the environmental impacts associated with the production of concrete, along with the cement production process and purchase of aggregates. Since concrete is an integral product and its use cannot be stopped, there is a need to reduce the impact of concrete manufacturing that can be achieved by replacing some of the products used to manufacture concrete, thus reducing the impact of concrete on the environment. There are several alternatives to reduce the impact of I will briefly mention the specifics at the end.

Ordinary Portland cement, Environmental impact, LCA, LCIA, Clinker production
