17 01 02 Brick
Brick is one of the most common building materials in the world. It is used for the construction of walls, foundations, paths and many other structures. However, the amount of brick waste increases every year, especially during the construction and demolition of buildings. This waste includes not only brick debris, but also soil removed from contaminated sites, creating additional challenges for managing this waste.
The problem of brick waste is becoming more and more urgent due to the increase in the volume of construction works and the demolition of old buildings. Every year, millions of tons of construction waste are generated in the world, among which a significant share is made up of brick fragments. This waste can be a consequence of the construction of new buildings, repair works, reconstructions, as well as the demolition of old buildings. In the process of demolition, it is often necessary to remove soil from contaminated areas, which is also considered waste.
One of the main problems is that bricks, as a rule, do not easily decompose under natural conditions. It can remain in the environment for decades without disintegrating, which creates an additional burden on ecosystems. In addition, improper management of brick waste can lead to soil, water and air pollution, which is a serious threat to the environment and human health.
The lack of effective brick waste management systems also plays a significant role in this problem. Often this waste is simply taken to landfills or remains on construction sites, where it occupies valuable land resources. At the same time, there are modern methods of ecological management of brick waste, which can significantly reduce their negative impact on the environment and people.

A pity for the environment and people
Waste bricks, if not treated properly, can have serious consequences for the environment. First of all, they occupy large areas in landfills, which leads to the loss of valuable land resources. In addition, this waste can become a source of soil and groundwater pollution.
The brick fragments left in the open air gradually break down under the influence of weather conditions, releasing harmful substances into the soil and water. For example, bricks made with old technologies may contain lead, heavy metals and other toxic components that enter the environment. This poses a risk to flora and fauna, as well as to people living near such areas.
Another problem is soil removed from contaminated sites, which often accompanies brick waste. This soil can be saturated with chemicals, heavy metals and other pollutants, making it dangerous for the environment. In case of improper storage or transportation, it can become a source of environmental pollution.
Pity for people
Brick waste can negatively affect people's health, especially if they are in the immediate vicinity of places of storage or generation of this waste. Dust from destroyed bricks can contain harmful substances that, when inhaled, can cause diseases of the respiratory tract, allergies, and in some cases even lung cancer.
In addition, toxic substances contained in old brick structures can enter groundwater or soil, and from there — to plants grown in polluted areas. This poses a danger to people who use these plants, because toxins can accumulate in the body and cause serious diseases.
It is also worth noting that people who work on construction sites or demolish old buildings are at increased risk of exposure to these harmful substances. Adequate protection and the use of special equipment are necessary measures to prevent these risks.

Ways to reduce harm
There are various ways to reduce the harm of brick waste to the environment and people. One of them — it is the implementation of effective methods of environmental management of brick waste. This includes the operations of collection, sorting, crushing and processing (D13) of brick waste, which allow to reduce their volume and make them safe for further use.
In addition, an important role is played by the transportation of brick waste to special processing plants, where they can be used for the production of new building materials. This not only reduces the amount of waste, but also allows you to save natural resources that are used to make new bricks.
- implementation of modern technologies for recycling (R5) brick waste;
- creation of infrastructure for waste collection and transportation;
- development of standards and norms for safe storage (D15) and processing of brick waste;
- educational programs for construction companies and the public on the importance of waste management.
An important step is also the creation of a legislative framework that regulates brick waste management processes. This will make it possible to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and reduce the negative impact of these wastes on the environment and human health.
