Abstract
Reducing the impact of fine dust particles PM0,5-PM10 in construction on the health of workers
Incoming article date: 08.06.2020The article presents an analysis of the impact of fine dust particles on the health of builders, released during the production of construction processes and suggests measures to reduce it. A serious threat to the health of workers on the construction site and people living in the vicinity of it is represented by fine dust particles in a suspended state, both in themselves and in the total concentration of harmful air pollution near construction production. Analysis of the monitoring of suspended matter concentrations has shown that the ratio between the time of exposure to suspended dust particles in different concentrations directly affects the health of people. Air pollution in the work area negatively affects performance, causes diseases in workers, and can cause injuries due to reduced visibility. The organization of conditions corresponding to labor protection and safety, healthy environmental conditions on the construction site will ensure an increase in labor productivity by up to 12% and improve the quality of processes performed.
