Ecological Suitability Evaluation of Composites with a Defined Waste Content

Abstract:

Economic and environmental dealing with waste requires development of new technologies for their usage. An incorporation of industrial waste material in construction materials and products is one of the options how to reduce raw materials cost and save natural sources of raw materials. In case of wastes utilization as a component of building materials, it is necessary to know their technological and ecological suitability. This study deals with some ecotoxicological and analytical methods for evaluation of ecological availability of composites with defined content of waste. These methods describe impact of the substances on the environment and living organisms.
