Abstract

The impact of construction activities on the environment has become a significant global concern due to the environmental degradation caused by the development of construction projects and activities. Noise pollution, water pollution, and air pollution are some of the types of pollution caused by construction activities, which can lead to serious health and environmental consequences. This review paper aims to examine the various types of pollution that occur during different construction activities in construction projects. In addition, this paper also focuses on the impact of concrete batching plant operations on the environment and the techniques that can be used to minimize these impacts. Concrete batching plants have been identified as one of the significant contributors to environmental pollution due to the dust, noise, and exhaust emissions generated during their operation. This paper highlights the importance of adopting appropriate pollution control measures to minimize the impact of concrete batching plant operations on the environment. Furthermore, the paper emphasizes the need to provide a better working environment for onsite workers and minimize the health impact on nearby communities. The use of advanced technologies and eco-friendly practices can contribute significantly to reducing the impact of construction activities on the environment. Overall, this paper provides valuable insights into the impact of construction activities on the environment and highlights the importance of adopting sustainable practices in the construction industry to protect the environment and promote a healthier and safer living environment.
