“…In addition, the construction industry, by its nature, drastically contributes to several types of pollution [32]. Dust pollution and distribution of particulate matter are a critical challenge for building projects in urban areas [33]. Construction activities also adversely impact surface water.…”

The need to build more facilities has intensified the inherited adverse impacts of the construction industry on the triple bottom lines of sustainability (i.e., people, planet, and profit). The current practice of sustainability in the construction industry is far from reaching the targeted green goals. In order to foster these endeavors, this study aims to explore sustainable construction barriers in the United States. To achieve the objective, first, 12 sustainability barriers were identified based on an excessive and comprehensive literature review and solicitation of experts’ opinions to validate the barriers. Next, a questionnaire survey was developed and distributed among 135 industry professionals to evaluate the relative importance of factors. To offer a practical solution, principal component analysis (PCA) was used to analyze the data and find the most effective barriers. The results show that four major barriers, including (1) pre-construction constraints, (2) managerial constraints, (3) legislative constraints, and (4) financial and planning constraints are the most influential challenges that the industry faces to foster sustainable construction. Practical solutions are suggested to tackle sustainable construction barriers. The findings of this study are beneficial to the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry members along with owners and policymakers.

“…Other anthropogenic dust species, such as those generated from agricultural and Earth's Future 10.1029/2023EF003738 construction activities may also contribute to the collected supermicron particles, but their influence on INPs cannot be validated in this study due to the absence of reliable tracers. Given that construction-related dust is commonly found in urban regions (Azarov et al, 2019;Yan et al, 2020), we anticipate its contribution to the observed anthropogenic dust INPs. Assessing the impact of soil dust from agricultural activities is challenging.…”

Anthropogenic dust is an important constituent of airborne particles in the urban environment but its ice nucleation activity remains poorly investigated. Here, we studied the sources and ice nucleating properties of size‐resolved particles in the urban atmosphere under mixed‐phase cloud conditions. The heat‐resistant ice nucleating particles (INPs) unexpectedly contributed ∼70% of the supermicron INPs at temperatures below −15°C. A detailed chemical composition analysis of size‐resolved particles revealed that these INPs were associated with anthropogenic dust, such as traffic‐influenced road dust. A parameterization based on supermicron particles was developed to predict the anthropogenic dust INP concentration, given their correlations on concentration and similarity in chemical compositions. Once integrated into global models, this parameterization holds the potential to assess the contribution of anthropogenic dust to INPs on a global scale. Given the considerable presence of anthropogenic dust in the atmosphere and its significant role as INPs, we suggest it may be an important aerosol source influencing cloud microphysics and warrant further investigations.
