17 05 06 Excavation debris, other than those specified under code 17 05 05
Overburden from excavation work is one of the types of waste generated during the construction and demolition of structures. However, there is a separate category of such waste that does not fall under code 17 05 05, and their proper management is of great importance for the preservation of the environment and human health. In this article, we will consider the problems associated with the waste of waste rocks from excavation works other than those specified under the code 17 05 05, their harm to the environment and people, and we will also propose ways to reduce this harm.
Overburden rocks of excavation works – these are materials that are formed during construction and demolition works, in particular when removing soil, removing vegetation, mining rocks, etc. Although part of such waste may be classified under code 17 05 05, there are cases where such materials do not meet these criteria. It can be waste generated during the cleaning of areas from contaminated soils or other specific waste species.
The problem is that such waste is often left without proper management, resulting in the accumulation of large quantities of material that can be potentially hazardous to the environment and human health. In addition, due to their heterogeneity, these wastes can contain hazardous substances, heavy metals, chemical pollutants and other harmful components, which makes their disposal a difficult task.
One key aspect is that dredging wastes other than those listed under code 17 05 05 often remain outside regulatory control, creating environmental risks. The lack of clear instructions for their recycling leads to improper handling of these wastes, which can cause significant environmental problems.

A pity for the environment and people
Excavated rock waste, other than those listed under code 17 05 05, can have a serious negative impact on the environment. One of the main problems is soil and water pollution. Due to improper storage and disposal, this waste can contain heavy metals, chemicals and other hazardous components that enter the soil and groundwater, contaminating them.
Water pollution is one of the most serious threats because chemicals can enter water supply systems, adversely affecting water quality and posing a threat to human and animal health. In addition, the accumulation of waste rock can lead to changes in the landscape, disruption of ecosystems and loss of biodiversity.
Another environmental problem is dust emissions during waste transportation and processing. Dust can contain dangerous substances that pose a threat to air quality, and can also enter the human body through the respiratory tract, causing disease.
Pity for people
Excavated rock waste, other than those listed under code 17 05 05, also pose a threat to human health. One of the most serious risks is contact with contaminated materials that may contain heavy metals, chemical contaminants, or other hazardous substances. Such contact may occur during collection, sorting or processing of this waste.
Danger also lies in the inhalation of dust, which is formed during the transportation and processing of waste. Dust can contain microparticles of harmful substances, which, entering the human body through the respiratory tract, can cause diseases of the respiratory system, allergic reactions or even chronic diseases.
There is also a risk of contamination of water used for drinking or domestic purposes. Chemical substances contained in waste rock can penetrate into groundwater and water supply systems, which poses a threat to public health. Long-term exposure to polluted water can lead to the development of oncological diseases, disorders of the functions of organs and body systems.
Ways to reduce harm
