1) Dust is a common problem when working with a new kind of material, in our case, drywall. To minimize the amount of dust in your basement, always spray water on the drywall before using a sander or drill. This can reduce the amount of dust that will fly into your face and lungs by up to 85%! 2) Another common dust-producing tool is a grinder.

Former postdoc Leah Ellis speaks with GBH All Things Considered host Arun Rath about Sublime Systems, an MIT startup she co-founded that aims to produce carbon-free cement to combat climate change."Sublime Systems and this technology spun out of my postdoctoral work at MIT," says Ellis. "My co-founder and I are both electric …

The cement process is sole reason why the concrete industry makes up 8% of overall global emissions and 12% of emissions in New Jersey. Global CO2 emissions by category. Cement is made by firing limestone, clay, and other materials in a kiln. CO2 is emitted from the energy used to fire the material, and the chemical reaction produced …

Figure 12 Variety of dusts observed on bee wings (A) and head (B) collected near the cement plant. Note the presence of cement dust (EDX spectra). (A) Bee wing with cement dusts.

et al., 2019) showed that the cement industry should reduce the cement clinker to 60% and then take special measures in capturing and storing CO 2 to control the impact of cement industry on ...

The cement industry is setting ambitious targets to reduce emissions and transition to a low-carbon future. There are a number of promising new technologies, such as carbon capture and utilization and storage (CCUS), that can help the industry decarbonize. Government support and market-based incentives are essential to accelerate the transition.

Today, the cement industry provides a significant contribution to the waste management practices of many countries. The responsible use of waste as an alternative fuel to heat cement kilns is lowering the industry's consumption of fossil fuels, which is helping to reduce the environmental footprint of global cement production. View …

7. Even better, buy vintage or recycled clothing at consignment shops. 8. Wash your clothing in cold water. The enzymes in cold water detergent are designed to clean better in cold water. Doing two loads of laundry weekly in cold water instead of hot or warm water can save up to 500 pounds of carbon dioxide each year.
