Natural rock materials (sand, stone)

Rocks such as sand and stone are widely used in construction, infrastructure projects and other industries. However, the process of mechanical treatment of these materials, including sorting, grinding, compaction and granulation, results in the generation of a significant amount of waste. These wastes require effective management to reduce their impact on the environment and human health. In this article, we will consider the problems associated with rock waste management, their impact on the environment and human health, and also offer ways to reduce the damage.

Mechanical processing of rocks such as sand and stone involves several steps such as sorting, crushing and processing. These processes create a large amount of fine particles, dust and other waste that can have a negative impact on the environment and human health. The problem becomes especially relevant in cases where the operations of collection, sorting and crushing are not carried out in accordance with environmental standards. In such cases, the waste can pollute the soil, water and air, which leads to serious environmental and social problems.

One ​​of the key problems is the insufficient number of specialized landfills for storing such waste. Often, rock waste, such as sand or stone residues, is dumped in conventional landfills, which leads to their gradual dispersion in the environment. Lack of proper environmental management of rock waste can cause negative consequences, which will be discussed further. Waste management, collection and processing services: Rocks (for example, sand, stone) NPV code 19 12 09.

Rocks (for example, sand, stone). Code in accordance with the National List of Waste 19 12 09. Operations in accordance with Appendices 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" D5, R7.

Reduction of damage from rock waste requires the implementation of modern methods of environmental management and approaches to the treatment of such waste. The main ways to reduce harm include:

• implementation of effective technologies for the collection and sorting of rock waste, allowing to reduce the amount of dust and small particles;
• implementation of projects on recycling and reuse (R7) of rock waste in construction and other industries;
• application of modern methods of filtration and air purification at factories, which reduces the level of atmospheric pollution;
• creating specialized landfills (D5) for storing rock waste in compliance with environmental standards;
• increasing the level of awareness of the population and production workers regarding the risks associated with rock waste and methods of reducing them.

Rock waste management requires an integrated approach that includes both technical and organizational measures. Implementation of modern methods of environmental management of rock waste will significantly reduce their negative impact on the environment and human health.
