What Is Pollution Monitoring?

Pollution monitoring is important for any commercial stakeholder, with businesses frequently required to implement sustainable practices and keep an eye on their environmental impact. Though you may not know it, many standard procedures within the demolition and construction field are environmentally harmful, therefore the watchful eye of industry experts will likely be of benefit. Pollution monitoring aims to reduce the harmful output of polluting substances in air, water or soil, with Broughshire Waste Metals on hand to take you through this increasingly vital service.



Environmental Impact

As has been outlined, construction work on buildings, roads, commercial projects and other infrastructure can have a detrimental impact on local air, water and soil quality. This may not only have a negative effect on the health of those within the area, but may also see those responsible for such projects failing to comply with legislation.

From increased particulate matter concentrations and dust soiling, to water pollution (it is believed there are more water pollution incidents in construction than any other industry), the risks are pertinent. Monitoring may need to be carried out during demolition or construction activities, depending on the scale of the project, ensuring that there are no significant risks to the surrounding environment.

Harmful Practices

Particles, vapour and noise pollution are all concerning for those overseeing a project. Before the start of any project, an action plan should be devised to identify possible pollution problems alongside methods to minimise them. Personnel responsible for implementation should be allocated at this stage too, to eliminate harmful practices and keep them to a minimum.

Burning waste materials on-site is liable to cause the spread of dust and smoke, while water sprays and barriers can lessen the effects of rising dust. Professional guidance and advice in the form of thorough pollution monitoring will offer practical ways to implement measures.
