Conclusions The particular characteristics of Greece’s natural environment (extended coastal areas, unique and protected species) and
the indissoluble linkages between economic activities and natural resources, in combination with the worldwide growing concern
for environmental protection, initiated a wide activity on issues related to environmental protection in Greece. Following
the establishment of legislation for environmental protection and preservation, Greece has undertaken significant steps in
research areas related to environmental chemistry, technology, engineering, biotechnology, management and ecology. This continuously
growing research activity is closely followed by an expanding educational framework, which aids to the training of experts
and scientists able to deal with the major (national and trans-boundary) environmental issues of our times.

Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are among the life-threatening issues facing rural as well as sub-/urban communities. Several factors contribute to RTAs ranging from human to technical and natural/environmental impacts. Anthropogenic air pollution and corresponding environmental factors also increase the probability of RTAs. Current study reports the relationship of the weather conditions to RTAs. The study establishes the relevancy of different weather conditions like rainfall, temperature, fog, and wind storm with the incidences of RTAs in rural and urban settings of Vehari, Punjab—Pakistan. The results of the study showed that rainfall, severe coldness, fog, and heat conditions were directly related with the occurrence of RTAs. The percentage of RTAs which occurred due to fog, rainfall, temperature, and other weather-related factors was 34, 25, 21, and 20%, respectively. The age of the driver significantly correlated (R2?=?0.60) with RTAs; the drivers in the age group 40–60 years caused the least RTAs during their drive. Since the smaller vehicles were involved in maximum RTAs, it relates negatively (R2?=?0.82) to vehicles power. Among different vehicles motor bikes were involved in most (42%) of the reported RTAs. Therefore, during severe weather conditions, vehicles with smaller size and young drivers must be dealt with carefully while interacting (crossing, overtaking, and maneuvering) on the roads regardless of rural or urban conditions. Factors including civic sense, traffic education, vehicle size, drivers’ maturity, road conditions, and environmental impacts may be considered while designing traffic rules and traffic aware campaigns specific for developing countries such as Pakistan. 相似文献

Evidently increased environmental pollution as a consequence of the 25-year manufacture of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in eastern Slovakia was observed. PCB levels determined in ambient air, soil, surface water, bottom sediment, wildlife (fish and game) samples collected in a potentially contaminated area of about 250 km2 (a part of the Michalovce district) were compared with those determined in a control area (Stropkov district). Up to 1700 ng/m3 were found in ambient air in a village close to a manufacturer's dumping site and a highly contaminated manufacturer's effluent canal whereas PCB concentrations in ambient air samples taken in villages in the control area were about 80 ng/m3 only. While soil samples taken from the agricultural fields of the polluted area contained PCBs at levels comparable with soil samples from the control area (about 0.008 mg/kg) much higher values (from 0.4 to 53,000 mg/kg) were determined in soil taken in the vicinity of manufacturer's landfill and storage sites and especially plants preparing asphalted gravel using formerly PCBs in their heat-exchanging systems. The contamination of the Laborec river and large Zemplinska Sirava reservoir is caused by the manufacturer's effluent canal since PCB levels in the canal sediment are still to be found about 3000 mg/kg. While PCB levels in sediment samples from Michalovce watercourses ranged between 1.7 and 6 mg/kg, sediment samples from the control Stropkov district ranged between 0.007 and 0.052 mg/kg only. Fish living in contaminated Michalovce waters contained about hundred times higher PCB levels than those caught in Stropkov ones. Similarly, game animals shot in Michalovce forests contained several times higher levels than those shot in Stropkov ones. 相似文献

To investigate the extent of Hg contamination due to artisanal Zn smelting activities in Weining County, northwestern Guizhou, China, total Hg and methyl mercury (MeHg) concentrations in soil and surface water were determined. Samples of corn plants growing in the study area were also collected for total Hg analysis. A high geometric mean Hg emission factor of 75gHgt(-1)Zn was estimated and significantly elevated total gaseous mercury (TGM) concentrations were found in the atmosphere adjacent to the Zn smelting sites, ranging from 30 to 3814ngm(-3). Total Hg and MeHg concentrations in topsoil samples ranged from 62 to 355microgkg(-1) and from 0.20 to 1.1microgkg(-1), respectively. Total Hg Concentrations in corn plant tissues increased in the order of grains相似文献

Semifluorinated n-alkanes (SFAs) with carbon chain lengths of 22 to approximately 36 atoms are present in fluorinated ski waxes to reduce the friction between ski base and snow, resulting in a better glide. Semifluorinated n-alkenes (SFAenes) are byproducts in the production process of SFAs and are also found in ski waxes. Snow and soil samples from a ski area in Sweden were taken after a large skiing competition and after snowmelt, respectively, and analyzed for SFAs and SFAenes. Single analyte concentrations in snow (analyzed as melt water) ranged from a few ng L −1 up to 300 μg L −1. ∑SFA concentrations decreased significantly from the start to the finish of the ski trail. Single analyte concentrations in soil ranged up to 9 ng g −1 dw. ∑SFA concentrations in soil did not show a trend along the ski trail. This may be due to the fact that concentrations in soil, although strongly influenced by the competition, reflect inputs during the whole skiing season. The chemical inventory in snow was greater than the inventory in soil for shorter chain SFAs (C 22C 28) and for all SFAenes. Additionally, a significant change in SFA patterns between snow and soil samples was found. These observations suggested volatilization of shorter chain SFAs and of SFAenes during snowmelt. Evidence for long-term accumulation of SFAs in surface soil over several skiing seasons was not found. 相似文献

Goal, Scope and Background Aquaculture activities are well known to be the major contributor to the increasing level of organic waste and toxic compounds
in the aquaculture industry. Along with the development of intensive aquaculture in China, concerns are evoked about the possible
effects of everincreasing aquaculture waste both on productivity inside the aquaculture system and on the ambient aquatic
ecosystem. Therefore, it is apparent that appropriate waste treatment processes are needed for sustaining aquaculture development.
This review aims at identifying the current status of aquaculture and aquaculture waste production in China.
Main Features China is the world’s largest fishery nation in terms of total seafood production volume, a position it has maintained continuously
since 1990. Freshwater aquaculture is a major part of the Chinese fishery industry. Marine aquaculture in China consists of
both land-based and offshore aquaculture, with the latter mostly operated in shallow seas, mud flats and protected bays. The
environmental impacts of aquaculture are also striking.
Results Case studies on pollution hot spots caused by aquaculture have been introduced. The quality and quantity of waste from aquaculture
depends mainly on culture system characteristics and the choice of species, but also on feed quality and management. Wastewater
without treatment, if continuously discharged into the aquatic environment, could result in remarkable elevation of the total
organic matter contents and cause considerable economy lost. Waste treatments can be mainly classified into three categories:
physical, chemical and biological methods.
Discussion The environmental impacts of different aquaculture species are not the same. New waste treatments are introduced as references
for the potential development of the waste treatment system in China. The most appropriate waste treatment system for each
site should be selected according to the sites’ conditions and financial status as well as by weighing the advantages and
disadvantages of each system. Strategies and perspectives for sustainable aquaculture development are proposed, with the emphasis
on environmental protection.
Conclusions Negative effects of waste from aquaculture to aquatic environment are increasingly recognized, though they were just a small
proportion to land-based pollutants. Properly planned use of aquaculture waste alleviates water pollution problems and not
only conserves valuable water resources but also takes advantage of the nutrients contained in effluent. It is highly demanding
to develop sustainable aquaculture which keeps stocking density and pollution loadings under environmental capacity.
Recommendations and Perspectives The traditional procedures for aquaculture waste treatment, mainly based on physical and chemical means, should be overcome
by more site-specific approaches, taking into account the characteristics and resistibility of the aquatic environment. Further
research needs to improve or optimize the current methods of wastewater treatment and reuse. Proposed new treatment technology
should evaluate their feasibility at a larger scale for practical application.
