Problem statement. Cosmetics, clothing, and even food packaging: nanomaterials have invaded our daily lives. The construction and construction sector is no exception, and is undoubtedly one of the largest users of this technology. It is difficult to know if a building product contains nanomaterials. Indeed, unlike certain products, such as cosmetics, food or biocides (insecticides, detergents), no regulations establish special labeling. However, they are very widespread and are used to improve the properties of most materials: cement, plaster, glass, tiles, insulation metals, paints, etc. The benefits of using nanoparticles in construction are huge, promising extraordinary physical and chemical properties for modified building materials. Among the many different types of nanoparticles, titanium dioxide, carbon nanotubes, silicon dioxide, copper, clay, and aluminum oxide are the most widely used nanoparticles in the construction sector [1]. The purpose of this article is to analyze the use of nanoparticles in the construction industry to illustrate the benefits of using nanoparticles and address the short − and long-term effects of nanoparticles on the environment and human health in the microcosm of industry, so that the results can be generalized. Results. The use of nanotechnologies in construction and their properties are analyzed. Scientific novelty and practical significance. The problem of using nanothenologies in construction is analyzed.
