Abstract
The article presents the assessment of carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks to the human health resulted from the work of the construction industry enterprises. It is shown that the level of risks to the human health causes concern. It is established that while assessing carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks to the human health the construction enterprises don’t take into account the emission of mercury compounds in cement production. Both the sources of mercury emission into the atmosphere and the methods for reducing mercury emission in cement production technique are shown. It’s stated that to improve the environment, it is necessary to define impact areas, provide a sanitary protective barrier between the industrial territory and the residential area by creating additional green belts that provide shielding, assimilation and filtration of air pollutants which make the microclimate better. It is suggested that monitoring of atmospheric emission of mercury should be included in the production control program and pollution control for mercury emissions should be introduced into Maximum Permissible Emissions (MPEs) projects.
