Background: The concentrations and distributions of natural and anthropogenic radioactive materials in soils of the site of Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (RNPP) were investigated with the aim of evaluating the environmental radioactivity and radiation hazard. Materials and Methods: Soil samples were collected from 40 locations in and around the proposed site of Rooppur Power Plant and determined ...

Two major projects have been initiated to improve air traffic management by enabling 4D trajectory planning, whereby the aircraft plan their trajectory both in position and in time. In this paper, we are interested in a Free Flight variant of the concept, whereby airspace users are allowed maximum freedom when selecting routes: aircraft are no longer restricted to fly along airways; rather, the...

* This chapter represents the conclusions of a meeting of experts organised by WHO in cooperation with the US EPA and held in Annapolis, MD, USA, in November 1998 (for further details, see the Acknowledgements section). The US EPA has not conducted a policy and legal evaluation of this chapter. Despite evident successes in the protection of public health, present approaches to the regulation of...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether there is an association between multiple sclerosis (MS) and young-adult-onset Hodgkin lymphoma (YAHL) as this will signal etiologic similarities relevant both to inherited characteristics and environmental exposures in childhood. METHODS Swedish general population registers identified a cohort of 29,617 with an MS diagnosis between 1968 and 2012, matched with a ...

−− Although industries operate under safe conditions, an industrial accident may occur, threatening human life, property or environment. In the context of environmental management, the importance of taking into account the risk of major technological accidents is concerned not only with the definition of the extent of it consequences but with the measures taken to mitigate unwanted impacts. Wit...
