A model to assess tephra clean-up requirements in urban environments
Tephra falls can cause a range of impacts to communities by disrupting, contaminating and damaging buildings and infrastructure systems, as well as posing a potential health hazard. Coordinated clean-up operations minimise the impacts of tephra on social and economic activities. However, global experience suggests clean-up operations are one of the most challenging aspects of responding to and ...
متن کاملResidential building and occupant vulnerability to tephra fall
Plinian and subplinian volcanic eruptions can be accompanied by tephra falls which may last hours or days, posing threats to people, buildings and economic activity. Numerous historical examples exist of tephra damage and tephra casualties. The mechanisms and consequences of roof collapse from static tephra load are an important area of tephra damage requiring more research. This paper contribu...
متن کاملExploiting Microbes and Plants to Clean up Pesticide Contaminated Environments
This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2002 Background Microbes and plants are among the most important biological agents that remove and degrade waste materials to enable their recycling in the environment. Whilst these agents are adapted to tackle most naturally occurring substances, many modern synthetic chemicals present a challenge to their remediating capabilities. The fact that...
