“…Regarding the ventilation system (6), a vertical cemetery to be allocated in the project, according to the interviewees (Fig. 9 ), according to Neckel et al ( 2017 ), Chen et al ( 2020 ), Parhizkar et al ( 2020 ) and Neckel et al ( 2021 ), is intended for the control of the internal air of the detoxification, being characterized as a natural or mechanical system, with the ability to direct all possible odors to the exhaust system, thus avoiding the accumulation of fungi, viruses and bacteria to the living who are visiting and/or mourning the deceased. For Parhizkar et al ( 2020 ) and Neckel et al ( 2021 ), the use of natural ventilation needs to be considered in projects of vertical cemeteries, as it enhances the reduction of electricity costs, with the reduction in the use of mechanical ventilation.…”

“…Consequently, the use of a ventilation system becomes a protection against possible leaks in the interment niches. However, the sealing of the front face of the interment niches (7) is extremely necessary to prevent the transmission of possible contaminants through the air (Neckel et al, 2017 ; Parhizkar et al, 2020 ). According to the National Council for the Environment of Brazil, described in resolution 335/2003, a project for vertical cemeteries needs to waterproof the niches in the deceased that are placed, thus ensuring their sealing (Brasil, 2003).…”

The increasing mortality of COVID-19 can aggravate soil contamination by metals, harmful to the health of the population, requiring new projects for future cemeteries capable of mitigating these impacts to the environment, justifying the importance of studying the concentrations of metals in the soil of urban cemeteries. The paper analyzed the levels of metals in the soil of urban cemeteries in the City of Carazinho, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, located in southern Brazil, considering the increase in deaths by COVID-19, for the purpose of future projects for cemeteries aimed at mitigating the impacts generated on the environment. The soils of the three urban cemeteries in Carazinho were sampled, with 5 internal and external points, with 3 repetitions at depths of 0–20 and 20–40 cm, adding 180 samples to measure the concentrations of Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Cr and Pb (g kg −1 ), considering the analytical sequence: (1) analysis in triplicate with mean deviation (RDS); (2) R2 of the analytical curve; (3) traceability of the pattern of each metal; (4) quantification limit of each metal (QL), with the performance of nitroperchloric digestion of the samples and the determinations of metals by flame modality atomic absorption spectrometry. Quantitative data on deaths by COVID-19 were analyzed by univariate modeling of time series, in the integrated autoregressive moving averages model. The results of this study were made available to fifteen architects, who attributed future solutions for environmentally sustainable cemeteries. The results showed high levels of copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) in the soil of the cemeteries studied. Considering the increase in deaths and subsequent burials per COVID-19 revealed a prediction for the death toll of 6,082,306 for June 9, 2022, it is assumed that metal contamination can reach even higher levels. To mitigate these levels of contamination by metals, 80% of the architect respondents expressed their preference for a vertical cemetery, with treatment of gases and effluents to mitigate environmental impacts.

“…The simulation of occupants’ heat dissipation was achieved by an internal incandescent lamp (with a power of 90 W), which has been proven and widely used to simulate occupants [41] , [42] . As for the indoor air quality experiments, tracer gas is a suitable surrogate for evaluating indoor air quality and airborne transmission risk [43] , [44] , of which CO 2 is widely used as it is a human respiratory product [45] and therefore was used in this study. During the experiments, four CO 2 tanks were put inside of the four thermal manikins respectively.…”

“…Depending on the different variables such as the choice of materials, material properties, and the material-specific function or material treatment (e.g., chemical treatments, coatings) the built substance itself can also release emissions and can considerably contribute to (indoor) air pollution [77]. Moreover, the right materials can also favor or reduce pollutants or even compensate and degrade them [80][81][82].…”

Challenges of a Healthy Built Environment: Air Pollution in Construction Industry

et al. 2021

Air pollution is a global concern, especially in cities and urban areas, and has many implications for human health and for the environment. In common with other industrial sectors, the construction industry emits air pollutants. In scientific literature, the contribution the construction industry makes to air pollution is underexposed. This systematic literature review (SLR) paper gives an overview of the current literature regarding air pollution within the construction industry. Air pollution is discussed focusing mainly on three levels: (i) buildings and their building life cycle stages, (ii) construction processes and components, and (iii) building material and interior. The final sample of the SLR comprises 161 scientific articles addressing different aspects of the construction industry. The results show that most articles address the use stage of a building. Particulate matter in different sizes is the most frequently examined air pollutant within the SLR. Moreover, about a third of the articles refer to indoor air pollution, which shows the relevance of the topic. The construction industry can help to develop a healthier built environment and support the achievement of cleaner air within various life cycle stages, e.g., with optimized construction processes and healthier materials. International agreements and policies such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can support the sustainable development of the construction industry.
