Комплексное исследование отходов строительного и коммунального комплекса городского хозяйства как фактора экологической опасности

Abstract

The present work is aimed at studying the waste management system of municipal construction and utility complexes in order to identify the potential application of waste materials in the form of secondary resources while simultaneously reducing their negative impact on the environment. The study is based on a set of research methods essentially structured by system analysis. Materials of domestic and foreign studies on the problems of ensuring environmental safety in the construction and utility complex, treatment and maximum use of secondary resources are generalised and systematised. Additionally, the results of the authors’ research in the field of evaluating the efficiency of using waste resource potentials are presented. The obtained results indicate the high level of resource value for municipal solid and construction wastes. A set of scientific and methodological approaches for assessing the resource potentials of such wastes is proposed. Results obtained using mathematical statistics methods indicate the types of waste under consideration to be classifiable as homogeneous according to a number of characteristics. Factors impeding the environmental safety of municipal services are identified along with the potential for reutilising waste resources obtained from the construction and util-ity complexes in the wider economy. The present work demonstrates the relevance of a system for in-tegrating secondary resources, with their maximum involvement in economic turnover to ensure envi-ronmental safety in the sphere of construction and utility services, as among the most important factors in the sustainable development of settlements and territories.
