Psychosocial environment refers to the culture and climate of the workplace.

Examples
of the psychosocial environment of a workplace include respect for work-life balance,
mechanisms to recognize and reward good performance, valuing employee wellness,
encourage employee feedback about organizational practices, zero tolerance for
harassment, bullying and discrimination, ensuring employee psychological safety and
health.

As highrise buildings affect the windflow in an area, it also affect the dispersion of air pollutants.
Once air pollutants retain in an area, its air quality become intolerable.

Too much use of energy also High rise buildings It is easy to think of air pollution as an outdoor
problem, but it can be even more problematic indoors.
Because of poor ventilation, indoor air pollution is up to 60% more concentrated in buildings and
can be a significant risk to human health. Conventional building materials and furnishings emit
formaldehyde and other toxic chemicals; paints, solvents and household cleaning products
which emit volatile organic compounds and other fumes; and stoves and fireplaces which emit
carbon monoxide and smoke particulates.

Buildings also contain biological pollutants such as dust mites and molds.

Relation of high-rise building and air pollution


According to Kalikasan Peoples Network for the Environment (Kalikasan PNE) air quality in Metro Manila is
worsening because of increasing pollutant emissions coming from motor vehicles, spread of construction of high rise
building and low budget for controlling and managing pollution.


High rise buildings as one of the source of air pollution is the origin of the project. Proponent in
come up with the idea of introducing green air concept on high rise building. It may not reduce
air pollutants produce in construction but it can support in providing good air quality after the
building is constructed.

State the victims


Integrating all the building elements, the project will purify the polluted air passing through the
building by absorbing air pollutants and then spread the clean air.
Good indoor air quality (IAQ) contributes to a favorable learning environment for students,
productivity for teachers and staff, and a sense of comfort, health, and welfare for school
building occupants. Failure to prevent indoor air problems in schools can have serious short-
term and long-term health effects.

IAQ problems are not limited to homes and schools. Many office buildings have significant air
pollution sources. Some of these buildings may be inadequately ventilated. For example,
mechanical ventilation systems may not be designed or operated to provide adequate amounts
of outdoor air purifiers; and outdoor sources such as radon, pesticides, and outdoor air
pollution.

Location of outdoor air intakes
How air behaves as a result of the interaction of topography and weather, and by the emission

Pollution (airborne particle) concentrations are not the same in all areas around a building.
Determining the location of higher concentrations can help researchers develop exposure

Aside from investigation of common site condition (micro-climate, surrounding buildings,
topography and vegetation) it also suggests to investigate the source of air pollution to properly
locate fenestrations and orient spaces.
The cleaned air will scatter on other areas within the city depending on the climate, topography,
wind flow and wind velocity.

revealed that the average concentration of CO was increasing from the lowest point of the
building up to about
6-9 floor then with irregular process gradually decreases. It may be due to higher wind speed in
the upper
edges of the building which causes decreasing the intensity of pollution. However the increasing
height from
the ground is caused increased distance from the primary pollution sources (cars) but the
volume of pollution
is not associated with the distance from pollution sources. It may be due to some factors such
as local winds
and eddy currents around the building, causing accumulation of pollution and scatter them in
some parts of the
building, therefore, the air flow around the buildings which is affected by many factors such as
local streams,
location and type of installation of windows is more important than pollution sources for

There are few advantages of structural steel that are widely known, such as: column free clear
spans
providing flexible space, freedom for fixing services and more natural lighting; short
construction period
due to fast erection and the use of composite floors; lower foundation costs due to excellent
strength to
weight ratio (Gauliard JL, Plank R, Wyss U, eds. Merits of Steel Construction, European
Convention for
Constructional Steelwork.1998:124). Steel is a homogeneous and quality controlled material
that has
additional safety. It has the ability to accommodate exceptional loads, such as earthquake and
explosion,
and it is a recyclable structural material. All these are important advantages of steel and they
help all parties
involved in construction to achieve the best of everything (Celikag M. Economic aspects of
using steel framed
buildings with composite floors: case studies from United Arab Emirates. Civil Engineering
Department,
Eastern Mediterranean University, Gazimagusa, Turkey; Construction and Building
Materials.Elsevier;
2004;18:383390). Composite floors comprise slabs and beams acting compositely together.
Composite slabs
consist of profiled steel decking working together with in-situ reinforced concrete. The decking
not only acts
as permanent formwork to the concrete, but also provides sufficient shear bond with the
concrete, so that the
two materials act compositely together. Although principally for use with steel frames,
composite slabs can
also be supported on brick, masonry or concrete components ( Composite flooring systems:

The first method for mass-producing steel was called the Bessemer process. Though named
after Sir
Henry Bessemer of England, the process evolved from the contributions of many investigators
before it could
be used on a broad commercial basis. It was apparently conceived independently and almost
concurrently by
Bessemer and by William Kelly of the United States. Bessemer developed and patented the
process in 1856

A fire proof building will minimize the destruction of fire, whenever it strikes. In order to be
termed
fireproof, a building must offer 100% fire protection. Fireproof does not mean the absence of
fire. It simply
refers to proper building design and detail that effectively checks the spread of fire, while
allowing access for
occupants to escape (Kruse T. Designing fireproof buildings. Skylines Magazine.Baltimore, MD:

The word skyscraperis just as it sounds: a fanciful, rather exaggerated term designed to
communicate
peoples awe and excitement about tall buildings. In reality, its meaning has changed radically
in the hundred
or so years since it came into our language. In the 1890s a building of ten stories more than
qualified as a
skyscraper, but today the word is rarely used to describe a building of fewer than fifty stories

For example, in the United States, commonly recognized as the home of the first high-rise,
NFPA 101
[ Life Safety Code

] defines a high-rise building as a building more than 75 ft (22.5 m) in height where the
building height is measured from the lowest level of fire department vehicle access to the floor
of the highest
occupiable story. This definition is consistent with many model building codes, but it should be
noted that
many different definitions exist in local jurisdictions that use varying height and measurement
criteria. These
height changes can range from 40 ft (12 m) to as high as 150 ft (45 m). Holmes WD, PE.

Construction activities that contribute to air pollution include: land clearing, operation of
diesel engines, demolition, burning, and working with toxic materials. All construction
sites generate high levels of dust (typically from concrete, cement, wood, stone, silica)
and this can carry for large distances over a long period of time. Construction dust is
classified as PM10 - particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter, invisible to the
naked eye.
Research has shown that PM10 penetrate deeply into the lungs and cause a wide
range of health problems including respiratory illness, asthma, bronchitis and even
cancer. Another major source of PM10 on construction sites comes from the diesel
engine exhausts of vehicles and heavy equipment. This is known as diesel particulate
matter (DPM) and consists of soot, sulphates and silicates, all of which readily combine
with other toxins in the atmosphere, increasing the health risks of particle inhalation.
Diesel is also responsible for emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen
oxides and carbon dioxide. Noxious vapours from oils, glues, thinners, paints, treated
woods, plastics, cleaners and other hazardous chemicals that are widely used on
construction sites, also contribute to air pollution.
