Environmental Impact Assessment of Solid Waste Disposal Options in Touristic Islands

Kish Island is a popular tourist destination in Iran, and tourism plays an important role in its economy. The volume of waste produced in the island has increased given the construction of numerous industrial projects over the past decade, as well as an increase in the tourist population. This expansion signals a need to create new methods of waste disposal. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA...

ABSTRACT Laboratory methods for measuring body burdens of low-level chemical contaminants in aquatic organisms traditionally have required sizeable amounts of tissue for analysis (i.e., 10 to 30 grams wet weight of tissue per sample). Predisposal testing of dredged ma...

The Regulatory Perspective: Role of Regulatory Review of the Safety Case and Feedback to Site Investigation

Swiss Legislation requires for all types of radioactive waste the safe and permanent disposal in deep geological repositories within Switzerland by stipulating a step-by-step procedure for site selection and licensing of the disposal facilities. Each step requires safety considerations or safety analyses which are reviewed by the Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate. The principle steps of...

Understanding the physical and environmental consequences of dredged material disposal: history in New England and current perspectives.

Thirty-five years of research in New England indicates that ocean disposal of dredged material has minimal environmental impacts when carefully managed. This paper summarizes research efforts and resulting conclusions by the US Army Corps of Engineers, New England District, beginning with the Scientific Report Series and continuing with the Disposal Area Monitoring System (DAMOS). Using a tiere...
