Abstract


According to the categorization and classification of waste materials, asbestos is classified as hazardous waste owing to the presence of asbestos fibers and potential presence of other minerals or metals, such as cadmium or chromium. The waste generated during building construction and demolition mixed with asbestos is considered hazardous. Exposure to asbestos dust is often accompanied by chronic non-specific respiratory conditions. Building demolition waste containing asbestos is often deposited in non-sanitary landfills and dumping sites. The issues concerning the environment and the surrounding population due to non-sanitary disposal of asbestos waste are associated with the hazardous properties of airborne asbestos fibers. This paper discusses asbestos-containing construction waste, its generation, and the conditions for its treatment and disposal.
