    In the seventies and eighties of the last world, the standard of living in China's rural areas was not as high as it is now, and everyone generally had houses with red bricks and green tiles. Red bricks, because of their low cost, high hardness, so popular with many rural builders. Many children living in rural areas have deep memories of such houses.

    But with the economic development in recent years, rural people rarely use red bricks to build houses, why is this? This is because the state has restricted the use of red bricks since 2005 until 2012, when it completely banned the use of red bricks to build houses.

    Some people may wonder why red bricks are so popular with so many people, and the state still bans them. There are several reasons for this.

    The first is the consumption of soil. The main material of red bricks is cohesive soil. In the process of making red bricks, a large amount of soil resources need to be consumed.

    According to the statistics of relevant departments, 700,000 mu of fertile land will be consumed in a year to build houses and burn clay bricks in urban and rural areas. When I was very young, there was a brick kiln in our village. This brick kiln is next to a hillside, and every time the bricks are burned, the soil is dug from the hillside, and in less than two years, the small hillside becomes a flat land.

    The second is environmental pollution. In the process of firing, red bricks will consume a lot of coal resources, waste resources, and cause air pollution. In the past, most of China's brick kilns were rural enterprises, which were characterized by small scale and no environmental protection measures.

    Therefore, in the process of firing red bricks, coal combustion will produce a large amount of sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc. These exhaust gases are harmful to the human body. These brick kilns emit exhaust gases directly into the air, causing harm to the surrounding environment and residents.

    As we all know, coal is a non-renewable resource. Although China has a large land and abundant resources, coal resources are relatively scarce in the world. A large amount of coal is used in the firing of red bricks, which is a waste of China's scarce coal resources.

    Finally, although the production process of red bricks is simple, it still has certain technical requirements. Some small brick kilns are shoddy in order to obtain greater benefits, resulting in the quality of red bricks not up to standard, and causing certain property losses to people who use these red bricks to build houses.

    With people's attention to environmental protection, more and more industries are now saving energy and reducing emissions. I believe that with everyone's efforts, our living environment will get better and better, and the lucid waters and lush mountains will be protected by us.

    The harm is very large, and it is likely to collapse, because the use of red bricks to build a house is likely to have quality problems, not particularly strong, and there may be water leakage or water seepage, and the quality is not up to standard.

    Red bricks and green bricks are all clay bricks. The so-called Qin bricks and Han tiles are all fired with clay, and a large number of clay bricks will destroy arable land on a large scale and cause pollution.

    The hazards of building houses with red bricks.

    1. The ban on red brick building in China began in 2012, and relevant agencies have issued notices one after another, explaining the harm of red brick building.

    2. The red bricks are glued together by mixing clay, and high temperature treatment is required in the process. In this process, clay and shale bonding produces toxic gases, which are harmful to humans, while also damaging the ozone layer and polluting the natural environment.

    3. Although rural people care about the cost of building houses, they are not as important as people's health. Unlike urban office workers, rural people spend most of their time at home. Under the influence of toxic gases for a long time, people are prone to diseases.

    4. If you want to make these solid red bricks, you need to use a lot of clay to complete, so you need to consume land to make them. According to statistics, China's firing of this kind of clay bricks will destroy nearly 700,000 acres of fertile land a year. This kind of consumption year after year will cause great damage to the land, and will also face a large reduction in land resources.

    5. In addition to destroying land resources, coal is also used during firing, and 120 kg of coal is needed to burn nearly 1 cubic meter of solid clay bricks, which is the consumption of two resources. Resources are vital to a country, especially non-renewable resources, especially red brick raw materials, which are difficult to recover once they are destroyed.

    6. As a high-quality building material, the quality of red bricks is qualified, but some brick factories are shoddy in processing for the sake of profits, so that the quality of red bricks is not up to standard. The characteristic of the red brick house is that it is used as a load-bearing, and if the quality cannot keep up, the service life will inevitably decrease. Nowadays, whether it is an urban or rural house, the materials used to build the house are cement, concrete and steel bar.

    Although the cost of these materials is higher than that of red bricks, they can guarantee the health of residents. In addition, these materials are strong and durable, making the living environment safer.

    Legal basis. Construction Law of the People's Republic of China

    Article 56 The survey and design unit of a construction project shall be responsible for the quality of its survey and design. Survey and design documents shall comply with the provisions of relevant laws and administrative regulations and the quality and safety standards of construction projects, construction engineering surveys, design technical specifications and contract agreements. The building materials, building accessories and equipment selected in the design documents shall indicate their specifications, models, performance and other technical indicators, and their quality requirements must meet the standards stipulated by the state.

    In the past, red bricks were the most common building material in life, and red bricks have been used to build houses for more than 2,000 years. Why is red brick, which is widely used as a building material, now banned by the state?

    , environmental pollution

    Coal is used in the firing process of red bricks, which produces a lot of harmful gases and wastewater that pollutes rivers during the production process. Many brick kilns are small in scale and lack of environmental awareness, which will lead to serious environmental pollution. Environmental pollution is not properly controlled, will lead to harmful gases directly emitted into the atmosphere, causing pollution to the ring of orange land, we know that most of the brick and tile factories are built in rural areas, they will harm the growth of crops, breathing into the human body will also lead to a variety of respiratory diseases.

    and the destruction of the land

    Red brick is also called solid brick, his main material is clay, in order to fire a large number of red bricks, some places even have to dig the mountain to complete, inevitably a large amount of land consumption. According to incomplete statistics, China needs to consume more than 1 billion cubic meters of clay resources every year, which is equivalent to 50 acres of farmland, which is equivalent to the area of a small county. Many people have destroyed the land and used it to produce red bricks, which will greatly reduce land resources.

    , practical aspects

    The bearing capacity of red bricks is not as good as that of reinforced concrete, and the side resistance is also poor, and the thermal insulation performance of houses built of red bricks is not as good as cement bricks and hollow bricks. And the red brick is still solid and very heavy, now there are high-rise buildings, dozens of floors of buildings more and more, obviously, red bricks are not suitable for high-rise buildings.

    Of course, red brick as a traditional building material is not without advantages, but with the development of the times, people's awareness of environmental protection and the progress of science and technology. It is understandable that materials like red bricks will do more harm than good to be eliminated.

    Modern cities are full of high-rise buildings, and many traditional building materials have been obsolete. However, in some underdeveloped areas, there are still many people living in red brick houses. However, there are also many harms of building houses with red bricks, so let's take a closer look.

    First of all, red brick houses have poor thermal insulation. In the summer, it can be very hot indoors, and in winter, it can be very cold indoors. Such a living environment is very unfavorable to people's health and can easily lead to diseases.

    At the same time, red brick buildings also have potential safety hazards such as moisture, mildew, and mildew, and are extremely prone to accidents such as fire and gas poisoning.

    Secondly, the cement, sand and other building materials used in the construction of red brick houses contain many harmful substances, and long-term living will cause adverse effects on human health. For example, harmful gases such as formaldehyde and benzene are constantly released, and long-term inhalation may cause diseases such as cancer. At the same time, during the construction process, the red brick house will also produce a lot of dust, which also poses a great threat to the health of the construction personnel.

    Finally, red brick buildings are also not good for environmental protection. The construction of red brick houses requires the consumption of a large number of natural resources, such as land, bricks, cement, etc., and at the same time, the houses after the completion of construction also have an impact on the environment, for example, the mining of urban land and deforestation will destroy the ecological environment, and the exhaust gas emitted by building material production units such as cement factories will pollute the environment of this acre.

    To sum up, the harm of red brick building is still relatively large, especially in a highly environmentally friendly environment like modern society. Therefore, it is necessary not to use red bricks to build houses, and it is an inevitable trend of modern urban construction to choose environmentally friendly and healthy materials.
