Environmental Remediation Cost in Fukushima Area

Fukushima nuclear power plant area

High-resolution tomographic images of the crust and upper mantle in and around the area of the 2011 Iwaki earthquake (M 7.0) and the Fukushima nuclear power plant are determined by inverting a large number of high-quality arrival times with both the finite-frequency and ray tomography methods. The Iwaki earthquake and its aftershocks mainly occurred in a boundary zone with strong variations in ...

Chelating Polymers and Environmental Remediation

Heterogeneous Catalysis for Environmental Remediation

The intensive human activities in chemical industry and environmental purification urge the development of advanced protocols for green production and waste management. In environmental science, developing highly efficient and environmentally-friendly catalytic materials and systems are very favourable approaches to green chemical synthesis and remediation of contaminated air, soil, and wastewa...

Application of Humic Substances in Environmental Remediation

Humic substances are generally seen as important soil and natural water components. They are formed during humification of organic matter by soil microorganisms. Humic substances are a mixture of complex organic compounds that are usually separated into three fractions: humic acids, fulvic acids and humins. The properties of humate products on the market depend on the ratios between these fract...

Environmental Remediation Law and Economies in Transition

The paper discusses the design of environmental remediation laws in countries struggling with fundamental market and institutional reforms. Optimal cleanup standards, liability rules, and enforcement are discussed from the standpoint of both economic efficiency and practical implementation. Particular attention is paid to financing mechanisms and issues that arise during privatization.
