Evaluation on Effects of Construction Dust Pollution on Economic Loss

Dust pollution, one of the most serious problems in construction stage, does great damage to both environmental protection and human health, which exerts an adverse effect on green economy. In order to clarify the damage scope and extent of construction dust as well as make some relevant controls and compensations further, priority should be absolutely given to the quantification of the loss caused by construction dust pollution. On the basis of the economic evaluation on air pollution, the paper conducts an economy-based study on environment effects and health effects of construction dust pollution by bibliometric analysis and field research. Calculation methods for different kinds of pollution damage are identified according to oriented analysis. The emphasis of this study lies in establishing a comprehensive calculation framework of economic loss to provide theoretical principles and guidelines for construction dust controls and compensation policies.
