Also, the detailed discussions on the novel and greener construction materials and their utilization as an alternative to the conventional harmful existing methods and materials are also presented in the subsequent chapters. This book helps to fill the research gaps in the existing prior-art knowledge in the field of sustainable construction and green building materials and methods giving due importance to ecology and health, specifically to the fields of sustainable structural engineering, sustainable geotechnical engineering, sustainable road engineering, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book helps in achieving a sustainable environment through possible adoption of innovative and ecological construction practices. Hence, this book acts as a practical workbook, mainly for the academicians and practicing engineers who are willing to work toward the consecrated building industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a well-established fact that the constructions of the engineering structures consume more and more earth resources than any other human activities in the world. In addition, the construction-related activities will produce several million tons of greenhouse gases, toxic emissions, water pollutants, and solid wastes. This creates a huge impact on environment and causes severe health issues on humans and animals. It is thus important to create an eco-friendly construction environment which can satisfy the ecological and health requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword by Prof. Munir Ozturk\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreface\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1.       \u003c\/b\u003ePotentially toxic construction materials: An Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2.       \u003c\/b\u003eThe main ecological health hazards from building materials\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3.       \u003c\/b\u003eAtmospheric emissions from construction sector\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4.       \u003c\/b\u003ePVC (The poison plastic), Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE), Chlorinated Polyvinylchloride (CPVC), Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene (CSPE), Polychloroproprene Rubber (CR)- Chemistry, Applications and ecological impacts\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5.       \u003c\/b\u003eVolatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emission and its adverse health effects from building sector\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6.       \u003c\/b\u003eHeavy metal contaminations from construction materials\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e7.       \u003c\/b\u003eNanoparticles in construction industry and their toxicity\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e8.       \u003c\/b\u003eTraditional and novel thermal insulation materials and their implications\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e9.       \u003c\/b\u003eSulfo-Aluminate cement and magnesium phosphate cement in eco-conservation\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e10.    \u003c\/b\u003eExposure to airborne concrete, stone, brick and granite dust\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e11.    \u003c\/b\u003eCarpets and textiles: Effect on indoor environment and health\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e12.    \u003c\/b\u003eSoil contaminations from the construction projects\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e13.    \u003c\/b\u003eWater pollution from construction industry\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e14.   \u003c\/b\u003eConstruction sector, biodiversity and wildlife conservation\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e15.    \u003c\/b\u003eEmbodied carbon in constructions and its ecological implications\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e16.   \u003c\/b\u003eBuilding Material Assessment System (BMAS) and its determination\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e17.    \u003c\/b\u003eAdvances in Environmental impact assessment methods\/tools in construction engineering\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e18.   \u003c\/b\u003eSpecial Concretes for Ecological Preservations.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e19.   \u003c\/b\u003eUse of industrial waste materials in Civil Engineering Applications\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e20.    \u003c\/b\u003eUtilization of waste water for the construction projects\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e21.    \u003c\/b\u003eUse of Construction and Demolition wastes in Civil Engineering for Ecological preservation\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e22.    \u003c\/b\u003eSustainable Techniques for building waste disposals\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e23.    \u003c\/b\u003eEcological and sustainable Road constructions \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e24.   \u003c\/b\u003eHealth impacts of thee Construction Workers \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e25.    \u003c\/b\u003eSustainable Geotechnical practices in the Constructions\u003c\/p\u003e  26.
