Properties Polluted By Different Means

By Walter Sullivan


Land is mainly used in agricultural, residential and commercial purposes. Land used for cultivation purposes is called agricultural land. Whereas in properties where houses are constructed it is called residential and properties in which commercial buildings stand is called commercial land. Agricultural land is mostly polluted with chemicals as most farming activities are engaged in the application of fertilizers and pesticides for high yield in crop. This is good as more agricultural products are produced. But the after effects are, many insects and small animals are killed because of this. Also there will be animals which carry these chemicals with them through their food. In the food chain process, when other animals eat these affected animals, the chemicals get into their bodies as well. So in effect everyone gets affected by this. The Galveston home builders who have properties in prime areas are the market leaders in construction sector.

Presence of E coli in water shows that sewage or animal waste is getting mixed up with water sources. This happens in places where there is much concentration of people in an area. There are chances that wells of one house will be very close with the latrines of other houses, as a result bacteria spread very fast.

Materials like stones, sand, cements and steel are required for construction purposes. There are contractors for each material, who should be contacted to obtain the materials. Stones are mostly obtained from quarries. In some countries there is a shortage of stones for building activities as local governments find it difficult to obtain new quarries as locals stand as opposition.

This leads to environmental and social impacts. It leads to flooding and makes the loose landmass wash away downstream during monsoons. At many places, sand mining happens and those people do to earn money. This would cause erosion and calamities occur.

Cement is also very essential in construction sector. It is used for plastering and masonry work. These are used in concrete for making floors, roofs, beams, pillars, stairs etc. There are many types of cement. Few are quick setting cement, low heat cement, expansive cement etc. Cement workers are careful when dealing with it, as more exposure causes choking and breathing difficulties.

It can also withstand loads caused by heavy winds. As steel structures are relatively lighter than concrete equivalents, there is only a requirement of less extensive foundations, reducing the impact of the building with the environment. Construction of buildings takes few days or months depending on the requirement.

The good way is to create a task list each day and try to accomplish it. There is a need to keep detailed records for understanding the financial position and also to understand the potential challenges faced. Consistency is another component in making money in business. One has to consistently keep doing what is important, to be successful in the business.

Many business people think that the moment they start up their business enterprise, money would be flowing in. But later only understands the difficulty in obtaining cash flow. To keep the cash flow, the business people should get organized.

Before starting the work, Architects would have a meeting with the clients to understand the objectives, budget and other specific requirements. These people also deal with Engineers, Landscape Architects, and Interior Designers. Environmental impact or feasibility study, cost analysis, designs are all done by them.
