 — One of the most widespread definitions of construction and demolition waste (C&DW) provided by (Tchobanoglous et al., 1977) emphasizes on demolition wastes as wastes arise from razed structures, however, regarding construction waste, it is defined as wastes from construction, renovation, and repairing of individual premises, commercial …

What are the Processes that Cause Soil Pollution? Soil pollution can be broadly classified into two categories – Naturally caused soil pollution; Anthropogenic soil pollution (caused by human activity) Natural Pollution of Soil. In some extremely rare processes, some pollutants are naturally accumulated in soils.

 — As urbanization spreads rapidly, more structures are being built, and more construction and demolition waste (CDW) is produced, occupying about 36–40% of the total solid waste generation in the ...

 — Rapid urbanization increased the activities in construction and demolition that produce huge quantities of waste.

Construction waste is defined as fairly clean, heterogenous building materials which are produced from the various construction activities, as per Tchobanoglous et al., 1993. Construction, renovation and demolition activities lead to the formation of waste. The construction waste poses great danger to environment.

 — The C&D waste was buried in the soil and mainly distributed in the 20–60 cm soil layer (Fig 1A and 1B). Most of the time C&D waste eventually ended up in landfills, disturbing environmental, economical and social life cycle. Habitats without C&D waste were selected as control sites (Fig 1C and 1D).
