Towards environmental sustainability in the local community: Future insights for managing the hazardous pollutants at construction sites

Multi-type Air Pollutant Emission Inventory of Non-road Mobile Sources in China for the Period 1990-2017

“…The trends of the emissions of these eight pollutants were generally consistent with that of fuel consumption. This shows that with the rapid economic development, the degree of mechanization in agriculture and construction continues to increase, and the use of non-road mobile equipment is becoming more and more frequent, which has led to a continuous increase in emissions from non-road mobile sources (Hong et al, 2021;Jiang et al, 2020). On the contrary, emissions from non-road mobile sources have gradually declined in recent years, reflecting the substantial effect of the multiple efforts implemented to control emissions of these pollutants from non-road mobile sources.…”

A Review of Hazardous Compounds Present in Construction Waste Materials

“…Construction industry around the world has taken some initiatives on implementation of sustainable development program by utilising the environmentally friendly technologies in various building processes [69]. With advancement of sustainable technologies in the era of IR 4.0, Hong et.al [70] have raised an issue on the hazardous pollutants that occurring at the construction site and possible ways to manage it in a sustainable manner. Hazardous pollutants or contaminations at the construction site could be from the construction processes itself or through the on-site waste material generation.…”

“…Hazardous pollutants or contaminations at the construction site could be from the construction processes itself or through the on-site waste material generation. The authors [70] suggested the three main technologies (monitoring, evaluation, and improvement) in the management of on-site hazardous pollutants. Monitoring technology involves capturing the level of hazardous contamination around the construction site which resulted from construction activities.…”

“…Monitoring technology involves capturing the level of hazardous contamination around the construction site which resulted from construction activities. In evaluation, the data is monitored, evaluated, and action is taken if the level of contaminations is threatening to the human and surrounding environment while in the improvement technology, impact of hazardous construction pollutants or contaminations on the surrounding environment and peoples is assessed and minimised to achieve the sustainable factors in the construction industry [70]. In every second, approximately 13 tonnes of hazardous waste are generated worldwide.…”

Environmental sustainable development through modeling and ranking of influential factors of reference groups on consumer behavior of green products: The case of Iran

“…For this reason, different communities are always looking to discover and use solutions to create favorable environmental conditions. Several growing measures have been used to contribute to the sustainability of environmental conditions (Hong et al, 2021; Nathaniel & Adeleye, 2021). In the last two decades, the Green Movement has been one of the essential measures to create sustainable environmental conditions (Elliott, 2013; Yuhuan Sun et al, 2019).…”
