The largest evaporate basin formed in recent geological history is the Mediterranean basin. A closed, or almost closed, basin formed when mountain building blocked the Straits of Gibraltar some 6 million years ago. Before the Straits opened again, half a million years later, a layer of 1 kilometer of evaporates had accumulated on the basin floor. [Pg.11]

These uncertainties and differences in interpretation would be less important were it not for the environmental and economic aspects of the issue described in preceding sections of this chapter. If the Recommendation were honoured to the letter and all OSPAR area chlor-alkali plants were to be forced to close or convert by 2010, we would see no environmental gain but considerable economic and social damage. EU lawyers might also like to consider the situation for major producer countries like France and Spain where some of their plants are within the OSPAR catchment area and others - with drainage to the Mediterranean basin -are not ... [Pg.49]

MEGREC constitutes a platform for the development of research and training in green chemistry in the countries of the Mediterranean basin, with focus on water management, the exploitation of local natural resources, the production and use of fertilizers, and monitoring and reducing the presence of toxic compounds in the food chain. With a clear focus on priorities for local areas, but with the extended know-how of all the partners. [Pg.328]

The APOE alleles show a peculiar distribution in the world (12,47,487). The APOE-3 allele is the most frequent in aU human societies, especially in populations with a long-established agricultural economy, such as those of the Mediterranean basin, where the allele frequency is 0.849-0.898. APOE-4 is the ancestral allele, with a frequency that stiU remains higher in Pygmies (0.407) and Khoi San (0.370), aborigines of Malaysia (0.240) and Australia (0.260), Papuans (0.368), some Native Americans (0.280), and Lapps (0.310), for whom an economy of foraging still exists or food supply is scarce or sporadically available. The frequency of the APOE-2 allele fluctuates with no apparent trend (0.145-0.02), is absent in Native Americans, and is very low (<1%) in southern Europeans (12,20,47,487-489). [Pg.295]

Focusing on the distribution of marine invertebrates, the seas can be divided into eleven zones (Fig. 7.1.II, George 1979). Four of these are exclusively coastal zones the Mediterranean (the geographical Mediterranean basin and the coastal areas and islands from northwestern France to the middle of Angola in the Atlantic), Caribbean (from South Carolina to Sao Paulo in Brazil, including the geographical Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico), Panamanian (coastal zones from southern... [Pg.36]

During the last decades, the Mediterranean basin has experienced a rapid growth in urbanization, vehicle number and use and industrialisation with this being reflected in pollutant emissions to the atmosphere. The air quality limits established by the EU to protect human health are often exceeded. Thus, urban areas have received special attention for their high air pollutant concentrations and the associated degradation of the air quality and public health [1]. [Pg.220]
