Atmospheric Emissions from Construction Sector
Atmospheric pollution created by the constructionConstruction industry has both direct and indirect effects on the general environment. The proper assessment and mitigation of the burdens of the environment from construction activities is the need of the hour. There must be a comprehensive evaluation of the impacts that need to be taken care of at all the construction activities. During construction, direct atmospheric gaseous emission, emission of particulate matter and other trace gases are released by the machineries and equipments, which have serious environmental impacts that affect the local air quality to a greater extent. As a result of these atmospheric emissions, the flora and fauna of the area do not grow well, causing significant loss to biodiversity and disruption of the food chain. Further, the various types of equipment used in the constructionConstruction sector are particularly very noisy, which can cause people living near constructionConstruction sites to experience varied levels of health disturbances. The construction sector should also share the responsibility of monitoringMonitoring and limiting the quantity and quality of pollution it collectively generates. Thus, the development projectsDevelopmental projects must be prepared in such a way that it has reduced minimum negative impacts on the environment.
