Download or read book Radioactive Waste Disposal at Sea written by Lasse Ringius and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2000-11-20 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most studies of environmental regimes focus on the use of power, the pursuit of rational self-interest, and the influence of scientific knowledge. Lasse Ringius focuses instead on the influence of public ideas and policy entrepreneurs. He shows how transnational coalitions of policy entrepreneurs can build environmental regimes and how global environmental nongovernmental organizations can act as catalysts for regime change. This is the first book-length empirical study of the formation of the global ocean dumping regime in 1972 and its subsequent development, which culminated in the 1993 global ban on the dumping of low-level radioactive waste at sea. Ringius describes the structure within which global ocean dumping policy, particularly policy with regard to the disposal of radioactive waste, is embedded. He also examines the political construction of ocean dumping as a global environmental problem, the role of persuasion and communication in an international setting, and the formation of international public opinion. He does not argue that the influence of ideas alone explains how regimes develop, but claims that it is necessary to understand how actors, interests, and ideas together influence regimes and international environmental policy.

Download or read book The Science of Waste written by Frank R. Spellman and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waste can be defined as something no longer wanted, something destroyed, broken, or damaged beyond repair and therefore disposed of or simply thrown away because it is no longer functional, needed, or wanted. However, the focus of this book turns to the question: is waste always really a waste? Stated differently, waste is not a waste if it can be recycled in some form or the other. This book examines all types of waste and their impacts, and discusses the potential ways to mitigate them through recycling and reuse strategies. Features: Addresses agricultural, biomedical, chemical, construction, hazardous, human, municipal solid waste, and more. Explains the fundamentals for waste recycling and reuse. Examines the current state of ocean pollution as well as the latest international regulations. Covers the life cycles of consumer electronic products, and their related metals and minerals, which are increasingly a major source of "E-Waste" The Science of Waste is intended to be used by environmental scientists and engineers, public health officials, legal professionals, students, and instructors interested in waste, as well as the management and reuse thereof.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO discussed the collection and disposition of fees authorized by the Ocean Dumping Ban Act of 1988, focusing on: (1) how much sludge was dumped in the ocean in 1989 and 1990; (2) whether sewage authorities collected the correct fees and deposited them in the proper accounts; and (3) what specific activities the fees funded. GAO noted that: (1) between August 15 and December 31, 1989, sewage authorities dumped 132,424 tons of sewage sludge at the authorized ocean dumping site, and in 1990, sewage authorities dumped 354,700 tons at the site; (2) fees totalled about $77 million and authorities depositied them in the proper accounts; (3) the Environmental Protection Agency, the Coast Guard, and the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration used the collected fees for purposes consistent with the act's requirements, including developing and implementing land-based sludge disposal alternatives; and (4) sewage authorities need to develop long-term alternatives to ocean dumping.
