building materials

. The article is devoted to the study of the causes and consequences of the anthropogenic impact of the construction industry on the environment, with a special emphasis on the use of radon-containing materials in the production of construction products. The key factors that cause environmental pressure, such as raw material extraction, technological processes, insufficient waste disposal technologies, and weak regulatory control, are analyzed.

The selection of architectural-structural-technological systems (ASTS) for single-family housing is of critical importance, as it determines the further development of design, construction, and operation of the building.

Today, the market is saturated with various new materials that have not yet been fully studied and are only beginning to gain momentum in the construction sector of our country. While this positively influences the development of the construction industry, it simultaneously complicates the selection of appropriate materials.

The methods of wooden building materials protection from biological damage were analysed. Constant technical monitoring is the main preventive measure against damage of structural elements of the wooden buildings. The most effective methods from biological damage are chemical treatment, capillary infiltration, diffusion treatment and impregnation under pressure.
