Environmental diagnosis of irregular disposal of civil construction waste in four neighborhoods in the urban area of Campina Grande - PB
The construction industry is one of the human activities that generates the most waste worldwide. Construction waste includes remnants of materials such as concrete, bricks, wood, and metals, among others. Although many of these materials can be recycled or reused, improper disposal of construction waste is a growing concern worldwide, especially in rapidly growing and developing cities. Improper disposal of construction waste can cause severe environmental impacts, such as soil and water pollution, degradation of air quality, and an increased risk of floods and landslides. In this context, the study assesses the improper disposal of construction waste in some neighborhoods of the municipality of Campina Grande, located in the state of Paraíba in the Brazilian Northeast. This study investigated the environmental and public health impacts caused by the inadequate management of construction waste. Problems such as the proliferation of disease-transmitting mosquitoes, respiratory issues, and soil and water contamination were identified. Given these results, the adoption of waste management measures and public awareness for proper disposal of materials is urgently needed.
