Safety and Sustainability of Hazardous Materials in Civil Engineering addresses the complex challenges posed by toxic substances and harmful waste generated during construction projects, creating a cohesive framework for a better understanding of the multidisciplinary interrelationships among sustainable development, human health, and the environment. The volume thoroughly reviews methodologies for identifying and classifying hazardous materials; systematic processes for their handling, storage, transportation, and disposal; innovative risk detection and monitoring techniques; remediation and emergency preparedness measures; and standards and best practices from different regions across the world.

By combining scientific research with practical applications and emphasizing critical, coordinated approaches to unify safety, reliability, environmental responsibility, and regulatory compliance, the book is an indispensable reference resource for a variety of readers in both academia and industry.

Provides an exhaustive exploration of hazardous materials encountered in civil engineering, enhancing the reader's ability to effectively identify and manage these substances
Covers various types of hazardous materials, from well-known substances like asbestos to emerging chemical, biological, and technological hazards
Presents the latest techniques and tools for conducting thorough health and environmental risk assessments that are essential for creating safer work environments and meeting regulatory requirements
Includes practical examples and case studies that illustrate how to apply the technical knowledge for improved environmental stewardship in civil engineering operations
