ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS OF AIR POLLUTION DUE TO BUILDING INDUSTRY EMISSIONS (REVIEW)

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of analysis and improvement of the theory of ecological risk associated with air pollution by emissions from the construction industry and provides an overview of foreign and Russian research in this field. We have analysed the publications on assessment of environmental risks in construction and measures for their reduction; according to the groups of factors influencing the environmental risk of air pollution by emissions from the construction industry - the level and composition of emissions, meteorological conditions, geographical and climatic characteristics of the territory, the technical condition of the equipment and the degree of its perfection; methods and models of mathematical apparatus and environmental safety monitoring; improving legislation and regulations. We have identified the prospective directions of development of the ecological risks theory in the construction industry: development and application of more accurate and reliable models of environmental risk assessment, study of efficiency of methods for reducing pollutant emissions, use of innovative technologies of construction and production of materials with low content of harmful substances, creation of standards and regulations for control of emissions, introduction of environmental auditing and management, the use of geographic information systems with the possibility of development of digital maps, modernization of the legislative base and all this against the background of deepening of the scientific theory of risk.
