The Manufacturing of Iron Rods and its Impact on Climate Change

By: Sasel E.A. Ekumah The manufacturing of iron rods, a fundamental component in construction and various industries, is a process deeply intertwined with environmental considerations, particularly its impact on climate change.  In this article, we'll explore how iron rods are manufactured and the environmental implications associated with this process. Iron Rod Production Process: 1. Iron Ore Mining:     The journey of an iron rod begins with the extraction of iron ore from mines. While this process is essential for sourcing raw material, it is not without environmental consequences. Mining activities can lead to habitat destruction and water pollution if not managed responsibly. 2. Iron Ore Processing:    Once the iron ore is extracted, it undergoes processing to remove impurities and achieve the desired iron content. This refinement process requires energy and can generate waste. 3. Blast Furnace:    The most carbon-intensive stage of iron rod produ...

Sand Mining Is Underrated Yet Imposes Great Threat On Climate Change.

By: Diana Yaa Opokua The Ga West Municipal district road construction, thus,  John Teye to Amasaman Road, is an important infrastructure for great economic development, yet its construction process poses negative effects on the environment leading to climate change. Although there are numerous factors contributing to climate change through construction, sand mining is an underrated factor that causes a threat to climate change. Roads, houses, boreholes construction, and the like depend heavily on sand, especially for filling purposes, a mixture of concrete, among others.  The quality of mortar uses for such processes is dependent on it’s ability to bond and resist compression, and this also depends on sand.  Therefore, the quest to mine the sand, trees, and vegetative covers is destroyed. Research shows that sand is the most consumed raw material after water, and it is an essential ingredient to our everyday lives. Also, the global use of sand is 10 times higher than...
