Assessment Number 1
‘global pollution and construction’

Scenario:
This assignment is intended to provide an opportunity to develop an understanding of how construction operations contribute to levels of pollution on a global scale.

Tasks:
In the form of an illustrated written report of not less than 2000 words, explain four different forms of global pollution that arise from construction projects. You might want to include some of the following considerations in your report; (P2)
the release of sulfur dioxide,
the release of carbon dioxide,
deforestation,
acid rain,
the release of PM10 dust,
running diesel engines ….etc

Task 1
The four types of pollution that are becoming an issue with construction sites are:

The invention of ways to minimise these forms of pollution are being worked on and will be discussed later on in this report.
The definition of pollution is as follows:
‘the presence in or introduction into the environment of a substance which has harmful or poisonous effects’
Construction sites are a massive solution and have all the contribution to the development of the changing world but have one...
