Case Study

The construction industry is one of the major sources of pollution, as in this case, responsible for about 4% of particulate emissions, more cases of water pollution than any other industry, and thousands of noise complaints each year. Although construction activities also pollute the soil, the main problem areas include: air, water and noise pollution.

Pollutant i.e. Construction company pays principle can be defined as one of the most important principles governing the rights of the environment. Although it is difficult, and sometimes diverse, it seems the basic requirements of the Rules of pollution prevention and pollution control. However, many difficulties have increased in its application to national and international arena, so a detailed description and definition of the principle must be done (Wachs 2003).

Department of planning - the plaintiff and the Planning Department - must also make the important decisions that changed the course of judicial proceedings for their clients. Most of the construction or demolition projects occurring in the city council, as a rule, require prior approval from the Planning Department and, if you need any information about a specific project, you should contact them first. So the ladies can sue in court for the demolition of the health of her children.

Environmental Protection team can participate, if the noise and dust from the site causes inconvenience to nearby residents. So it is very horrible for the children near the construction site. Construction work, which contribute to air pollution include: land clearing, exploitation of diesel engines, demolition, arson, and work with toxic materials. All construction sites generate high levels of dust (usually made of concrete, cement, wood, stone, silicon), and it can carry long distances over a long period of time (Breheny 2000). Construction dust is classified as PM10 - particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter, invisible to the naked eye.

The study showed that PM10 penetrate deeply into the lungs and cause a wide range of health problems, including respiratory infections, asthma, bronchitis and even cancer. It is also used in the construction site that harms children. Another major source of PM10 at construction sites comes from the emissions of diesel engines and heavy equipment. This is known as diesel particulate matter (DPM) and consists of soot, sulfates and silicates, which are easily combined with other toxins into the atmosphere, increasing the risk to the health of particle inhalation.
