Question

Mention the environmental impacts of construction activities in urban areas.

Answer 1

The impact of construction activities in urban areas are:

1. Construction activities cause pollution of air, water, sound, and soil. Various pollutants are released into the atmosphere. Exposure to pollutants may lead to poor health among residents in the area.
2. Habitat loss and ecosystem disruption: While constructing a new building, trees in the vicinity are cut down, leading to habitat loss for many birds, worms, insects, and other animals. This also leads to a disturbed and disrupted ecosystem.
