In the LEED system, what is the prerequisite for Construction Activity Pollution Prevention?

The prerequisite for Construction Activity Pollution Prevention is categorized under the Sustainable Sites (SS) section of the LEED rating system. This prerequisite aims to minimize the negative environmental impacts that construction activities can have on the surrounding areas, particularly concerning air quality, water quality, and the overall site ecosystem. By establishing this prerequisite, LEED ensures that projects implement appropriate measures to control pollution from construction activities, such as sediment runoff, dust generation, and harmful chemical discharges.

The classification under Sustainable Sites indicates that it is focused on the conservation and sustainable management of land and associated ecosystems during the construction phase. This ties directly into LEED's broader goals of promoting sustainable building practices and minimizing the environmental footprint of the construction process.
