The purpose of the work is to analyse the impact on the environment of construction waste based on the analysis of literary sources with the determination of the priority of the flow, as well as the standard of environmental assessment with the establishment of the probability of impact and to determine management strategies to mitigate environmental risks.
A detailed review of the world literature on the environmental impact of construction waste was conducted. Seventeen relevant environmental impact factors of construction waste were determined based on the analysis of scientific articles. The predominant factor for our country in wartime is the generation of waste in the process of destruction from explosions and, as a result, environmental pollution in the process of creating construction waste, including hazardous chemicals. Priority factors also included: risks to public health and safety, dust pollution of the atmosphere, etc.
The analysis of regulatory documents and obligations aimed at improving the state of the environment at the state and international levels, which must be taken into account in the process of construction, waste generation and handling, has been carried out.
Taking into account the "Methodical recommendations for the implementation of a strategic environmental assessment...", for the first time we carried out a description of the consequences for the environment of the generation of construction waste in the process of construction or destruction of structures, including for the health of the population – any possible consequences for flora and fauna, biodiversity, soil, climate, air, water, landscape (including man-made), natural territories and objects, safety of the population and its health, material assets, objects of cultural heritage and the interaction of these factors.
The research was focused on the ecological assessment of the impact of construction waste on the environment and the search for the best strategies for handling this type of waste for the conditions of Ukraine using construction waste as an example. Mitigating the negative environmental impacts of construction waste on the environment is possible through the implementation of global practices for handling such waste. Fifteen recommendations are proposed based on a review of literature sources.
