Abstract

Rapid urbanization and the rise of high-rise construction projects have intensified environmental challenges, making pollution control a critical concern for sustainable development. This study aims to systematically identify and classify pollution factors at high-rise construction sites. A systematic literature review was conducted, synthesizing 32 representative studies from Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Findings show two categories of factors: direct (construction processes, machinery, transport, worker activities) and indirect (design errors, managerial weaknesses, material mismanagement, workforce limitations, external conditions). Results confirm the systemic nature of construction-related pollution and underscore the need for integrated strategies to ensure sustainable urban growth.
