16 12 33* Components of demolition waste containing mercury
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.
A pity for the environment and people
Mercury is one of the most toxic substances that can cause significant damage to the environment. It has the ability to accumulate in ecosystems, which leads to serious consequences for flora and fauna. During the destruction of buildings and industrial facilities, mercury can be released into the environment, causing soil, water and air pollution.
The main ways mercury enters the environment:
- emissions during waste incineration;
- release during the destruction of buildings;
- leaks from industrial facilities.
Mercury can migrate through soil and water systems, contaminating bodies of water and aquifers. This can have catastrophic consequences for aquatic organisms, which become carriers of the toxic substance, which then accumulates in the food chain. Environmental management of hazardous waste of mercury-containing demolition waste components includes operations of collection, sorting, crushing and processing of hazardous waste (D13), which allows to minimize their negative impact on the environment.
Pity for people
Mercury is extremely dangerous for human health. It can affect the central nervous system, cause memory problems, reduced intellectual abilities, impaired coordination of movements and other neurological disorders. Long-term exposure to mercury can also lead to cardiovascular disease, respiratory problems, and kidney failure.
The main ways mercury affects people:
- inhalation of mercury vapors;
- contact with mercurial materials;
- consumption of contaminated products.
The health risk is particularly high for workers engaged in dismantling buildings and processing mercury-containing waste. Hazardous waste management of mercury-containing demolition waste components must include strict safety measures to protect workers and minimize their exposure to mercury.
Ways to reduce harm
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:
- effective collection and sorting of mercury waste;
- 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.
