coastal zone of sri lanka is a key to sustainable development of the country. the erosion of country’s coastal zone has been identified as a long standing problem. therefore, coastal sediment dynamics around the country has to be identified to develop an appropriate coastal zone management plan. remote sensing and gis techniques can be used for quantitative and qualitative analyses of coastal p...

abstract aims: health, safety and environment is an integrated and convergence system and also a synergistic arrangement of human resources, facilities and equipment. this study aimed to determine the relationship of safety climate and perception of risk with the awareness level of hse management system among oil refineries employees. instrument & methods: this cross-sectional study was perform...

studies have determined that the application of technical safety measures is not adequate to protect human, economic and environmental assets in industries. therefore, promoting health, safety and environment (hse culture), as an alternative approach, is of great importance. the aim of this study was to evaluate and manage hse culture among employees of an industrial sector in iran. this descri...

To understand nonylphenol (NP) contamination in the northeast coastal environment in China, NP was determined in 19 sediment and 20 bivalve samples collected during November 2005. NP was identified in all sediment samples in the range of 8.8 to 1.0 x 10(3) ng/g dw (dry weight), with an average of 0.12 x 10(3) ng/g dw. Most of the bivalve samples (oysters and mussels) contained detectable amount...

We discuss in this paper environmental changes along the coastal line of Nigeria, especially in the region around Lagos, basing on provisional multi-disciplinary analyses of meteorological and maritime observations. The study has revealed that the environmental change in the Nigerian coastal region has been much more apparent than before (i.e. some few years back 1989-2007). Various kinds of oc...

Coastal zone management practices, regulatory decisions, and land-use planning activities along the southwest Washington coast have historically been made with insufficient information concerning the dynamic coastal environment. This lack of information can and has resulted in a mix of costly problems, legal disputes, risks to public health and safety, damages to resources and industry, and los...

despite the fact that coastal areas are benefiting from verity of biological resources of marine and inland systems, they are exposed to destructive threats from both systems. hence, coastal areas are the most vulnerable sectors in the world. population growth, tourism, urbanization, and industrialization are the most important factors in increasing pressure on the coastal and marine areas. ide...
