Risk of Rainfall Caused Leaching from Bio-Composite Material Based Building Façades into the Aquatic Environment

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

The Netherlands has emerged to produce new bio-composite materials, which are created by reclaiming resources from various sectors of the water industry. These innovative materials being used in applications, including façade elements buildings, providing a sustainable alternative traditional materials. Although these have ecological appeal, it is important investigate impact on natural environment. A systematic methodology assess environmental risks crucial, yet such notably lacking. proposed based following key stages: (i) analysis and selection rainfall events; (ii) laboratory work: sample preparation leaching tests; (iii) risk assessment. Each material analysed was tested its weathered forms, latter subjected cyclic UV irradiation high humidity simulate weather conditions. work included synthetic rainwater tests identify potential release specific chemical substances during different rain events. concentrations obtained were then assessed for their surface quality. Two events duration 1-hour selected having intensities 5 mm/h 15 mm/h. results reveal disparate behaviour among samples, as well between two types, depending intensity. associated with both types remained below safety threshold all conditions studied. While findings representative real-case scenarios, they should be considered indicative only due reliance assumptions inherent setting. To obtain more definitive conclusions, further studies especially field conducted, particularly those evaluating dynamics over time.
