Download or read book Monitoring of Marine Pollution written by Houma Bachari Fouzia and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-06-05 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the pollutants discharged into the sea are directly or indirectly the result of human activities. Some of these substances are biodegradable, while others are not. This study is devoted to monitoring areas of the environment. Methods assessment is based on monitoring data and an evaluation of the impact of pollution.Surveillance provides a scientific basis for standards development and application. The methodology of marine pollution control is governed by algorithms and models. A monitoring strategy should be put in place, coupled with an environmental assessment concept, through targeted research activities in areas identified at local and regional levels. This concept will make it possible to diagnose the state of "health" of these zones and consequently to correct any anomalies. Monitoring of the marine and coastal environment is based on recent methods and validated after experiments in the field of marine pollution.

Download or read book Oil Spill Monitoring Handbook written by Sharon Hook and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil spills can be difficult to manage, with reporting frequently delayed. Too often, by the time responders arrive at the scene, the slick has moved, dissolved, dispersed or sunk. This Oil Spill Monitoring Handbook provides practical advice on what information is likely required following the accidental release of oil or other petroleum-based products into the marine environment. The book focuses on response phase monitoring for maritime spills, otherwise known as Type I or operational monitoring. Response phase monitoring tries to address the questions – what? where? when? how? how much? – that assist responders to find, track, predict and clean up spills, and to assess their efforts. Oil spills often occur in remote, sensitive and logistically difficult locations, often in adverse weather, and the oil can change character and location over time. An effective response requires robust information provided by monitoring, observation, sampling and science. The Oil Spill Monitoring Handbook completely updates the Australian Maritime Safety Authority’s 2003 edition of the same name, taking into account the latest scientific advances in physical, chemical and biological monitoring, many of which have evolved as a consequence of major oil spill disasters in the last decade. It includes sections on the chemical properties of oil, the toxicological impacts of oil exposure, and the impacts of oil exposure on different marine habitats with relevance to Australia and elsewhere. An overview is provided on how monitoring integrates with the oil spill response process, the response organisation, the use of decision-support tools such as net environmental benefit analysis, and some of the most commonly used response technologies. Throughout the text, examples are given of lessons learned from previous oil spill incidents and responses, both local and international. General guidance of spill monitoring approaches and technologies is augmented with in-depth discussion on both response phase and post-response phase monitoring design and delivery. Finally, a set of appendices delivers detailed standard operating procedures for practical observation, sample and data collection. The Oil Spill Monitoring Handbook is essential reading for scientists within the oil industry and environmental and government agencies; individuals with responder roles in industry and government; environmental and ecological monitoring agencies and consultants; and members of the maritime sector in Australia and abroad, including officers in ports, shipping and terminals.
Download or read book Development of an Environmental Monitoring Program Volume 1 Marine Hazardous Chemical Worker written by Thomas B. Morrow and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the development of an environmental monitoring plan applied to marine industry personnel who may be potentially exposed to hazardous chemicals during their work. The goal of this plan is to minimize the worker's exposure to hazardous materials during work activities. The environmental monitoring plan includes the use of (1) safe work practices that specify how to carry out activities that involve potential exposure to hazardous materials, (2) environmental monitoring devices for measuring chemical vapor or dust concentration in the air, and (3) personal protective equipment to prevent inhalation of and skin contact with hazardous materials. The environmental monitoring plan was subjected to a trial evaluation in a series of field tests. These field tests included two job activities in which workers were potentially exposed to hazardous chemicals for (1) U.S. Coast marine inspectors and pollution prevention boarding teams, (2) merchant marine tankerman working on chemical tankerships, and (3) merchant marine tankerman working on chemical barges.

Download or read book Remote Detection and Maritime Pollution written by Stephane Le Floch and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-02-17 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The detection of marine pollution requires a scientific and operational response to identify contaminants, chemicals and hydrocarbons, and to support contrasting observations. Remote Detection and Maritime Pollution originates from the proceedings of CEDRE Information Day, held on October 13, 2016 in Brest, France. Containing four parts encompassing 13 chapters, this book explores remote detection channels for the multiform marine pollutions of today and of the future. With a focus on transatlantic cooperation, it covers remote detection sensors, the state of the art of maritime surveillance with regard to the interests of national and international authorities, the benefits of response strategy, and geophysical exploration. Future vectors (airplanes, drones, satellites, among others) and sensors (radar, optical, hyperspectral and so on) are also studied. This book is a valuable resource for practical solutions for marine authorities, industries (chemical, energy, aerospace, petroleum, shipping), lawyers and scientists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document is Volume I of a three-volume report which describes the development of a medical monitoring program for marine personnel who may be potentially exposed to hazardous chemicals during their work. The purpose of the program is to screen for adverse health effects of occupational exposures to noise and toxic chemical substances. A basic medical protocol for periodic screening examinations and a target organ protocol for examinations performed in response to acute overexposure to specific toxic substances are described. A recommended schedule for medical examinations is specified and guidelines for follow ups of abnormal laboratory results are provided. Auxiliary systems to support implementation and application for the medical monitoring system include: 1) A hazardous substance data system for nearly 700 marine hazardous substances, 2) A set of biochemical and medical data sheets for 179 of the more toxic marine hazardous substances, 3) Guidelines for biological monitoring of exposures to 26 marine hazardous substances for which methods are available, 4) Two methods for documentation of potential exposures to marine hazardous chemicals: one which is self-documented, and a second, which employs an indirect method based on cargo manifests and personnel records 5) Guidelines for an industrial hygiene program to complement medical monitoring, and 6) A data management system to provide a record of data and to provide a means of rapid access to data files for specific information and for data summaries.
