Global Pollution

Pollution is one of the most concerning topics to talk about in today's modern world. It acts as a poison for anything that lives and breathes; it could toxify water, air, land, humans, and animals, and is not to be taken lightly.

buildings. This could be a site for new lawns, animals and plants. These hazardous natural

During the construction phase, there will be a lot happening all over. This may vary from the actual erecting of the building, to the transport of goods, to the extraction of materials needed, etc. There will be a lot of damage done to the o-zone layer, a lot of habitat and biodiversity destroyed, amongst other things.

Air Quality: this section applies to dust and emissions/pollutants related to construction and operational traffic.

The earth is a wonderful place which we share with the plants, animals and birds. We must preserve the land we live on. A pollutant is any substance which contaminates the air, water and land. Pollution is the introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment or harmful changes that occur in the environment due to human actives are pollution. Pollution could be in air, water and land. As these harmful substances, gases and quality of life of all living beings will affect the humans. Pollution is very dangerous for health, environment, can cause sickness death in living beings, unnatural weather conditions and damage the crops. Pollutants are the key elements or components of pollution which are generally waste materials of different forms. Pollution disturbs our ecosystem and the balance in the environment. With modernization and development in our lives pollution has reached its peak; giving rise

Construction can have a large impact on its surroundings, including local residents, pedestrians and vehicular traffic depending on the site’s location. For example, many of the sites visited in Toronto affected traffic as they had frequent deliveries and had to stop traffic to allow this. This includes the Centre for Engineering Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the University of Toronto where frequent trucks enter and exit to remove excavated soil (***Special Lecture***), stopping traffic on Galbraith Road and preventing tour buses from enterring. On the other hand, outside the city, construction has far less of an impact as there are often multiple lanes for traffic, and little or no pedestrian traffic. When building in Toronto then, it is important to minimize construction’s effect on pedestrians, vehicle traffic, and local residents if present, since these parties are all impacted by the decisions made on site.

cause structure damage to nearby building or the even larger, current issue of contamination of

When Factories mine, it can have many effects on the Human Body. When there is pollution in the air our body is vulnerable to it. There can be many long term and short term effects on the human body. The most negative impacts that happen is inside of the body. When your body is exposed to the pollution in the air it effects how the human being can live. There can be a very high chance of getting cancer and chronic disease. Some of the short term effects is the following: Eye, Nose, Throat irritation. The repertory system can get infected. Including bronchitis headaches, nausea, allergic reactions and many medical conditions, such as asthma. Some times when people are effected with pollution everyday there is a high chance of getting diagnosed

many other are causes of our planet’s degradation. All these have been observed in our city,

Site Work: Rains turn a construction site into a gigantic mud hole in most cases as dust is predominantly present on any construction site. Mud hinders access to the site by all building trades and prevents or slows down general earthwork (grading, trenching, and backfilling activities), paving, and foundation work. Both foot and vehicle traffic may be restricted, and compacted gravel or rock is often used in roadways to establish a firm base. The site should be properly graded to ensure positive drainage away from the structure and to prevent water collection points. If not considered during the planning phase,

This paper will present an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) of a proposed construction project of a new recycling center in a rural area. The proposed project is to be built in a nonattainment area. The EIS will address land-use and development, social and neighborhood effects, economic factors, air quality, noise, and water resources as it relates to the proposed project. Included in the process will be three alternatives as well as a no build alternative. The Environmental Impact Statement will provide a detailed scoping of the project along with the alternatives that will ensure all potential impacts are addressed prior to project approval.

Another environmental factor is Radon which is a natural radioactive gas resulting from radioactive decay of uranium in rock and soil. It can get trapped in houses and form radioactive decay products that are carcinogenic people. Bronchogenic is the most common form of lung cancer that’s associated with radon. Underground miners risk is increased for lung cancer since exposed to more radon even if they don’t smoke. Houses can get tested and modified to prevent any more radon contamination.

Airport construction also poses a short-term but substantial threat to the environment with all the different jobs being done, there are a lot of different construction equipment such as cranes, dozers, excavators, concrete equipment, etc. that can cause problems with the environment. The main environmental issues affected by include air, water, and noise pollution. Air pollution has always been a big topic in everywhere and around an airport there is no

The construction materials used for each building can contain harmful and dangerous substances that can impact the health of people in and around the building.

A contaminated land is a land which contains substances that are actually or potentially hazardous to health or the environment. Land can also be defined as contaminated if only there is significant pollutant linkage. This means that, there must be:
