Mercury-containing elements of demolition waste

The problem of components of demolition waste containing mercury is becoming more and more urgent in the modern world. Mercury — it is a dangerous substance that can cause serious environmental problems. The use of mercury in various industrial and construction processes has led to the accumulation of a significant amount of waste containing this toxic substance.

The destruction of buildings and industrial facilities leads to the formation of a large amount of waste, among which mercury-containing components may be present. This can include different types of lamps, batteries, thermometers, electronic devices and other materials. The danger of this waste is that mercury is a highly toxic substance that can pollute the environment and pose a threat to human health.

The main sources of mercury waste are:

• building materials;
• electronic devices;
• lighting lamps;
• medical equipment;
• industrial processes.

The problem is exacerbated by the fact that mercury can enter soil and water, contaminating natural resources and affecting ecosystems. Methods of environmental management of hazardous waste of mercury-containing demolition waste components are becoming critically important for reducing the negative impact on the environment and public health.

Components of mercury-containing demolition waste. Code according to the National list of waste 16 12 33*. Operations in accordance with Annexes 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine “On Waste Management” D13, D10.

Mitigating damage from mercury-containing components of demolition waste requires a comprehensive approach. Methods of environmental management of hazardous waste of mercury-containing demolition waste components include:

• use of specialized technologies for safe crushing and processing of waste (D10);
• use of environmentally safe mercury neutralization methods;
• monitoring of the state of the environment and health of workers;
• training for employees on safe work with mercury waste.

Transportation of hazardous waste components of demolition waste containing mercury should be carried out in accordance with international standards and norms. This includes the use of specialized vehicles and packaging that minimizes the risk of leakage and environmental pollution.
