Popis: Climate change is considered as the major environmental challenge for the world. Technological advancement has resulted in Cement making companies being able to produce higher volumes compared to the past. However, the higher production levels have also been largely labelled as the leading cause of pollution (Zimwara et al., 2012). Building industry is one of the leaders in deterioration of environment by depleting resources and consuming energy or creation of waste (Stajanca and Estokova., 2012). Emissions from Cement manufacturing are one of the major contributors in global warming and climate change. Cement belongs to the most often used building materials and its production is increasing over the world. But the cement industry is an energy enormous intensive and products many emissions, odors and noise. It is a major source of emissions such as CO2, NOX, SOX, VOCs, Particulate matter etc. The present paper is a review taken from literature, peer reviewed journals, industry sector reports etc
