2. Importance and Value of Sustainable Resilient Remediation. This section provides the following: background and context on evolution to and value of SRR. brief overview of the history of hazardous waste cleanup and the importance of GSR. climate change impacts from extreme weather events, sea-level rise, and wildfires to the integrity of
Dec 22, 2021 · Since the twentieth century, human activities have generated a large amount of toxic organic and inorganic pollutants that have been released into earth surface environment, causing a number of environmental public health issues (Boente et al., 2017;Song et al., 2017;Sun et al., 2020;Tang et al., 2015). Many pollutants from natural or anthropogenic sources can enter soils and sediments through
Jan 1, 2021 · Life cycle assessment can be applied in civil and environmental engineering in contaminated sites remediation as a tool for impact assessment of remediation techniques. In addition, in recent years, LCA has been applied in conjunction with other tools to assess economic and social impacts, to assist in the decision-making process considering
Dec 15, 2012 · Recent studies applying LCA for the assessment of secondary and primary impacts of remediation include Sparrevik et al. (2011a) who employed a LCA for the case of contaminated sediment management, which showed that a do-nothing scenario caused a much lower environmental impact than active capping scenarios.
Mar 19, 2021 · Abstract. The current practices of containing the waste in dumpsite/landfill are considered as unsustainable due to their negative impact on the environment, society and economy. Remediation of the existing open dumpsite into bioreactor landfills helps in recovering the valuable land area at a faster rate due to the reduction in the time
Mar 28, 2023 · For example, microbial bioremediation reduced global warming potential by ~50–90% in comparison with dig and haul remediation in life-cycle assessment (LCA) studies; and the environmental impact
within which Integrated Environmental Assessment and reporting (IEA) has evolved. By the end of the module, you will have learned about: The different types of environmental assessment State of the environment (SOE) Integrated Environmental Assessment and reporting (IEA) Environmental impact assessment (EIA)
Aug 1, 2013 · The goal of the impact assessment was to quantify the environmental impacts of two remediation options for three different sites contaminated with mineral oil (and one site also with BTEX). For the calculation of the environmental merit, the functional unit was set to 1 m 3 of contaminated soil to be cleaned in a time frame of 100 days. 2.4.2.
Aug 1, 2008 · Ecological evaluation is essential for remediation, restoration, and Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA), and forms the basis for many management practices. These include determining status and trends of biological, physical, or chemical/radiological conditions, conducting environmental impact
Oct 24, 2022 · Potential remediation methods and technologies for pesticides and pesticide-contaminant combinations have also been developed rapidly (Sun et al., 2018;Zhang et al., 2020).In this special issue, we set up a Research Topic of Environmental Impacts of Pesticides: Environmental Fate, Ecotoxicology, Risk Assessment and Remediation, which not only
Aug 1, 2008 · Abstract. Ecological evaluation is essential for remediation, restoration, and Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA), and forms the basis for many management practices. These include determining status and trends of biological, physical, or chemical/radiological conditions, conducting environmental impact assessments, performing remedial
A Dedicated, Results-Driven Team. At EHS Support, our Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) team has a long history of working on projects from the concept phase through final investment decision and operation. Our history of delivering upstream oil-and-gas, integrated energy projects, and mining impact assessments and approvals, combined with
Jan 1, 2020 · Remediation based on health risk assessment is an established means to protect site users from exposure to land contamination. It provides a rationale for intervention—breaking source–pathway–receptor pollutant linkages—and provides a process to direct resources to the most hazardous sites.
Dec 24, 2021 · Introduction. Contaminated water, soil, and air represent a critical world problem involving extreme environmental and human health risks. Several developed techniques for remediation include conventional methods such as thermal treatment, pump-and-treat, chemical oxidation, and emerging technologies such as “nanoremediation” (Ganie et al., 2021; Mukhopadhyay et al., 2021).
the most common are: Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) (Shakweer and Nathanail, 2003). This thesis will focus on the LCA approach. An LCA is a scientific method, which makes it possible to get an overall picture of the environmental impacts caused by a remediation action.
