Fly ash brick is one of those alternatives. These kinds of building materials are being made with the combination of Fly ash, Granite dust, sand, cement, etc. In addition to that, water is also added to this mixture at equal proportions. Fly ash bricks are very light in weight and stronger when compared with conventional bricks. By manufacturing these bricks, the pollution levels in the atmosphere can be minimized.
