| Summary: | The use of industrial and agricultural waste materials provides a greener option to producing cement than is currently done, lowering carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. However, due to the potential presence of elevated quantities of risky substances including cadmium, chromium, and lead that may leach into the environment when exposed to precipitation and ultimately contaminate water bodies and groundwater systems, caution is advised. The objective of this study is to thoroughly evaluate the effects of different cementitious materials on the environment. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method will be used to compare the environmental effects of various cementitious materials. The results will help to identify substitute cementitious materials with less impact on the environment, and the adsorption study will advise better waste disposal management techniques. The adoption of green construction materials is dependent on various factor such as availability, chemical compatibility, and environmental issues, in addition to material manufacture and waste management. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.
