Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Construction and demolition activities have a significant impact on the environment, economy, and society. This research project aims to investigate the various aspects of this impact through a comprehensive analysis of the processes involved in construction and demolition projects. The study will focus on examining the environmental consequences of construction and demolition activities, including resource depletion, energy consumption, and waste generation. Moreover, the research will explore the economic implications of these activities, such as the costs associated with material extraction, transportation, and disposal. In addition, the societal impact of construction and demolition projects will be evaluated, considering factors like noise pollution, disruption of communities, and safety hazards. The methodology for this research will involve data collection from construction and demolition sites, as well as interviews with industry experts, policymakers, and stakeholders. By gathering information from multiple sources, this study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the impact of construction and demolition activities on the environment, economy, and society. The findings of this research project are expected to contribute to the development of more sustainable practices in the construction and demolition industry. By identifying the key areas of impact and potential mitigation strategies, this study aims to inform policymakers and industry professionals on how to minimize the negative consequences of construction and demolition activities. Overall, this research project seeks to raise awareness about the environmental, economic, and social implications of construction and demolition activities. By shedding light on these issues, this study aims to promote more responsible and sustainable practices in the construction and demolition industry, ultimately leading to a more environmentally friendly and socially responsible built environment.

Thesis Overview

<p> </p><p><strong>INTRODUCTION</strong></p><p>Historically, construction and demolition (C&amp;D) debris landfills have been considered nonhazardous operations, containing relatively inert wastes such as concrete, asphalt, wood, metals, gypsum drywall, and roofing materials. In recent years, however, it has become increasingly clear that emissions resulting from the decomposition of gypsum drywall and organic debris are a public health issue. Drywall, comprised of gypsum (CaSO4 •2H2 O), breaks down into hydrogen sulfide and other sulfur compounds under anaerobic conditions and in the presence of water.</p><p>Overall, the good news is that C&amp;D landfills are not known for being particularly dangerous to human health, though certainly they do come with their risks (Colledge &amp; Wilder 2011). In each of the case studies from New York, Wisconsin and Virginia (mentioned above) where a C&amp;D landfill was identified to pose potential health risks to the community, there were problems with the ENST 698, fall 2011 facilities that could have been prevented or fixed (United States Environmental Protection Agency Office of Solid Waste 1995). ”</p> <br><p></p>
