Abstract

Rapid population growth with industrialization, modernization, and urbanization has stimulated construction activities. Demolition activities have widely been undertaken to replace old buildings and civil structures with better, bigger, and/or newer ones. The construction and demolition activities generate tremendous amounts of construction waste (CW) and demolition waste (DW) consisting of a large variety of materials with varying properties. Many types of CW and DW contain various types of pollutants such as fine residues, heavy metals, and persistent organic chemicals; thereby having deleterious impacts on the environment and human health. This study comprehensively analyzes various data and survey on the generation and characteristics of CW and DW, their current management methods, as well as the environmental and health effects of CW and DW constituents and their management. Based on the comprehensive analysis, the strategies for sustainably managing CW and DW are devised to alleviate negative impacts of current CW and DW management. Sustainable management of CW and DW should be considered at each stage of a construction project (from planning/design to post-construction). It is hoped that this study will contribute to reducing the burden of CW and DW on the construction industry and local communities.

建筑和拆除废物管理及其对环境和人类健康的影响：提高可持续性

工业化、现代化和城市化带来的人口快速增长刺激了建筑活动。为了用更好、更大和/或更新的建筑和土木建筑取代旧建筑和土木建筑，拆除活动广泛开展。建筑和拆除活动会产生大量建筑垃圾（CW）和拆除垃圾（DW），这些垃圾由各种性质各异的材料组成。许多类型的建筑垃圾和拆除垃圾都含有各种污染物，如细微残留物、重金属和持久性有机化学物质，从而对环境和人类健康造成有害影响。本研究全面分析了有关化武和排水的产生和特征、当前的管理方法以及化武和排水成分对环境和健康的影响及其管理的各种数据和调查。在综合分析的基础上，制定了可持续管理化武和排水的策略，以减轻当前化武和排水管理的负面影响。建筑项目的每个阶段（从规划/设计到施工后）都应考虑对化武和排水工程进行可持续管理。希望本研究能为减轻建筑行业和当地社区的化武和排水负担做出贡献。

期刊介绍： Sustainable Cities and Society (SCS) is an international journal that focuses on fundamental and applied research to promote environmentally sustainable and socially resilient cities. The journal welcomes cross-cutting, multi-disciplinary research in various areas, including: 1. Smart cities and resilient environments; 2. Alternative/clean energy sources, energy distribution, distributed energy generation, and energy demand reduction/management; 3. Monitoring and improving air quality in built environment and cities (e.g., healthy built environment and air quality management); 4. Energy efficient, low/zero carbon, and green buildings/communities; 5. Climate change mitigation and adaptation in urban environments; 6. Green infrastructure and BMPs; 7. Environmental Footprint accounting and management; 8. Urban agriculture and forestry; 9. ICT, smart grid and intelligent infrastructure; 10. Urban design/planning, regulations, legislation, certification, economics, and policy; 11. Social aspects, impacts and resiliency of cities; 12. Behavior monitoring, analysis and change within urban communities; 13. Health monitoring and improvement; 14. Nexus issues related to sustainable cities and societies; 15. Smart city governance; 16. Decision Support Systems for trade-off and uncertainty analysis for improved management of cities and society; 17. Big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence applications and case studies; 18. Critical infrastructure protection, including security, privacy, forensics, and reliability issues of cyber-physical systems. 19. Water footprint reduction and urban water distribution, harvesting, treatment, reuse and management; 20. Waste reduction and recycling; 21. Wastewater collection, treatment and recycling; 22. Smart, clean and healthy transportation systems and infrastructure;
