Abstract
The use of recycled materials is regulated by standards for chemical analysis of leachate and binders. This study, based on air emission contribution aims at completing the comprehensive framework for RAP acceptance in road construction. Results show that fumes studied are composed of PAH in low quantities and in variable proportions depending on the manufacturing process and the mix design. Incorporation of 40 % recycled material into hot and warm manufacturing process increases total PAH concentrations in emissions by 8 % and 26 %, respectively. In addition, the results showed that carcinogenic particulate PAH in emissions from mixes incorporating recycled materials are attributable to RAP itself, suggesting that the pavement capture organic compounds functioning as a pollution sink. Importance of integrating a specific analysis of air emissions into the overall environmental characterization with the analysis of some pollutants will opened to directing road infrastructure construction and maintenance strategies towards more sustainable industrial practices.
期刊介绍:
The journal Resources, Conservation & Recycling welcomes contributions from research, which consider sustainable management and conservation of resources. The journal prioritizes understanding the transformation processes crucial for transitioning toward more sustainable production and consumption systems. It highlights technological, economic, institutional, and policy aspects related to specific resource management practices such as conservation, recycling, and resource substitution, as well as broader strategies like improving resource productivity and restructuring production and consumption patterns.
Contributions may address regional, national, or international scales and can range from individual resources or technologies to entire sectors or systems. Authors are encouraged to explore scientific and methodological issues alongside practical, environmental, and economic implications. However, manuscripts focusing solely on laboratory experiments without discussing their broader implications will not be considered for publication in the journal.
