Preservation of the Environment

The basic rule concerning waste disposal is that anything that is shipped or flown in must eventually be shipped out. Accordingly, the amount of material that is brought in must be reduced to the essentials, items that are no longer needed should be re-used if possible, and the rest must be collected for shipment to Conus for recycling and/or safe disposal. These guidelines are essential for the preservation of the environment in Antarctica because the cold and dry conditions prevent [Pg.56]

Polystyrene chips (called peanuts) that are used as filler in packing boxes [Pg.56]

Nonindigenous plants and animals such as house plants, flowers, pets, tropical fish, and nonsterile soil [Pg.56]

Certain other substances are considered to be hazardous pollutants that must be handled safely in order to prevent injury to humans. These hazardous materials are generally labeled as being flammable, corrosive, reactive, toxic, or radioactive. Any waste that contains these kinds of materials is labeled Antarctic hazardous waste. Pollutants that are required for research purposes either at one of the stations or in the field require a permit before they can be imported to Antarctica. Therefore, USAP each years applies for a comprehensive permit to import such potentially hazardous materials. [Pg.56]

The transformation of McMurdo Station from a temporary military supply base to its present squeaky-clean appearance did not happen overnight and required a change in the local culture. However, after the problems were graphically described and condemned in the popular press (e.g., Lemonick 1990) and with prodding from Greenpeace (e.g.. May 1988 Anonymous 1990), the activities of the US Antarctic Program continue to comply with ACA and the rules arising from it. [Pg.56]


A comprehensive approach to the quality assurance in NDT would combine both approaches. It creates and maintains conditions for the people protection, safe operation of objects and products and preservation of the environment. [Pg.956]

This article is intended to provide a useful first understanding of flow phenomena and techniques and to provide an entry to more precise and detailed methods where these are required. Although the main concern is the proper design and operation of plant equipment, the importance of preservation of the environment is recognized. Thus data from the fields of meteorology and oceanography are occasionally needed by the technologist (see also Flowl asurel nt Fluidization). [Pg.87]

In the challenge for preservation of the Environment, the European carmakers favor Diesel, which must comply with the most stringent standards constraints. The real key point for the future is, on the one hand, the improvement of DPF regeneration phase and on the other hand, but as first priority, the development of alternative NO after-treatment technologies reliable on a long period. [Pg.212]

To achieve these aims and to ensure that they are sustainable, FASTA aims to create a critical mass of local scientists with expertise in advanced analytical technology which can react rapidly to the demand for high quality analysis in the preservation of the environment. To this end, FASTA is working closely with the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Pan Africa Chemistry Network (PACN). [Pg.126]

As scientists with a passion for chemistry and a dedication to the preservation of the environment, the directors of PASTA have made an enduring commitment to provide participating laboratories with the facilities they require to establish themselves and become self sustaining into the future. We offer our support and good wishes to the emerging analytical and research / conservation talents in Afiica and hope to be involved in this exciting process of collaboration, capacity-building and conservation for many years to come. [Pg.129]

The problem of preservation of the environment is a complex problem and has global character. The further development of mankind is impossible without the complex account of social, ecological, technical, economic, legal and international aspects of a problem as applied not only to a concrete production cycle, but also in scales of regions, the countries and all world. [Pg.118]

The safety of personnel and property and the preservation of the environment are top priorities for project management and employee labor representatives. [Pg.166]

Though this Guide has been developed principally as a management system model for safe operation, prevention of pollution and preservation of the environment, quality concerns are also addressed. While quahty management focuses principally upon enhancing Customer... [Pg.462]

Environmental problems are far more costly to deal with than worker safety and health issues and it is often financially draining to install the technology for pollution prevention. Therefore, it is wise to take preservation of the environment as a serious business rather than proceed irresponsibly and cause your business infinitely more problems and difficulties than if you had addressed the environmental issues upfront. [Pg.292]

Next in priority is design and construction of works for organophosphorus agent destruction. This will however be carried out simultaneously with work on blister agent destruction it again requires choosing sites and their submission to proper authorities and to citizens for their approval. In choice of technologies and site for CW destruction, safety is of paramount importance. Major attention is paid to the safety of citizens and to preservation of the environment. [Pg.81]
