ISSUES

GLOBAL ISSUES

Melting Ice The number of Adlie penguins in the Antarctic has fallen from 32,000 breeding pairs to only 11,000 in 30 years

Sea level had risen at a faster rate over the last century

GLOBAL ISSUES

Dying Coral Reef

20% of the worlds coral reefs have been effectively destroyed and show no immediate prospects of recovery

GLOBAL ISSUES

Drying out of Rainforest The Earth was covered by approximately 14.8 billion acres of forest 8,000 years ago Only 8.6 billion acres now remain the highest rates of deforestation occurred during the last 50 years The consequences Global warming, greenhouse gas emissions, heavy flooding, soil erosion and siltation of rivers

GLOBAL ISSUES

Unpredictable and Chaotic Weather Hurricanes in the Caribbean and the United States. Extensive droughts in eastern Africa, Australia, southern Europe and parts of China and India Uncontrollable floods in many parts of the world, sometimes preceded by a long drought. Tsunami Tropical Storms

Drought

Flood

CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

High Consumption of Natural Resource Buildings are responsible for half of our water consumption, about one third of landfill waste and one quarter of all raw materials used in the economy

CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
Greenhouse Gas Emissions

CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
High Consumption of Energy Buildings represent 32% of total final energy consumption. In terms of primary energy consumption, buildings represent around 40% in most IEA countries. Estimates suggest 80% of all energy required to produce a building is used in the production and transport of materials

CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
Environmental Pollution The industry is responsible for around 4% of particulate emissions, more water pollution incidents than any other industry, and thousands of noise complaints every year

CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

Health Risks Effects to Clean Water Supply Dying Water Habitat Foul Odour Flash Flood

Water Pollution
Sources of water pollution on building sites: diesel and oil; paint, solvents, cleaners and other harmful chemicals; and construction debris and dirt When land is cleared it causes soil erosion that leads to siltbearing run-off and sediment pollution

CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

Noise Pollution
Health Risks Effects to Eco system Increased Communication Noises The industry generates noises, mainly from vehicles, heavy equipment and machinery, but also from people shouting and radios turned up too loud Lead to hearing loss, high blood pressure, sleep disturbance and extreme stress

CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

Air Pollution
Causes: land clearing, operation of diesel engines, demolition, burning, and working with toxic materials Construction dust is classified as PM10 particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter, invisible to the naked eye PM10 penetrate deeply into the lungs and cause a wide range of health problems including respiratory illness, asthma, bronchitis and cancer

Health Risks Cause of Accidents Visibility-Led Problems Diminished Human Comfort

CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

Timeless Generation of Waste

CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
Life Cycle Impacts of Material Extractions Responsible for around 4% of particulate emissions, more water pollution incidents than any other industry, and thousands of noise complaints every year
