This book contents about waste disposal and dredging activities, shelf sediment dynamics and solid-waste disposal, stability of dredged, geological effects of ocean dumping, depositional characteristics of sediments and problem of misplaced sediment.
This book consists of 3 section : Section 1 about Functional Aspects of Detoxification, Section 2 about Physiological Mechanism of Pullutant Toxicity, Section 3 about Environmental Health Implications.
This book describe methods by which live and areas can be effectively used for abatement of water pollution. The book helps determine the areas required for sewage irrigation and discusses some of the safe and modern practices of sewage irrigation. Also discussed are the preventive and ameliorative methods of land damage and reclamation of damage land. The design and operation of schemes of in…

The text of the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships's Ballast Water and Sedimens, on 2004; 2. Four Conference resolutions adopted at the International Conference on Ballast Water Management for Ships held at IMO's Headqu…
The purpose of the convention is to ensure the payment of adequate, prompt and effective compensation to victims of pollution caused by the escape or discharge of bunker oil from ships
This publication, prepared by the Marine Environment Protection Committee of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Supersedes the 1988 edition of section II of the Manual on Oil Pollution.
The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973 (MARPOL Convention), is concerned with preserving the marine environment through the prevention of pollution by oil and other harmful substances and the minimization of accidental discharge of such substances. Its technical content is laid out in six Annexes, the first five of which were adopted by the 1973 Convention…
Oil slickswere detected using satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images in 2011.We investigated potential origins and regional and seasonal features of oil slick in the Bohai Sea. Distance between oil slicks and potential origins (ships, seaports, and oil exploitation platforms) and the angle atwhich oil slicksmove relative to potential driving forces were evaluated. Most oil slicks were …
The toxic effects of three inorganic metals (Cu, Cr, Hg), three organic (phenol, formalin, ammonium) chemicals, ozone-enriched water and peroxides (H2O2) on embryonic development were tested in 8 species from the Porifera, Bryozoa and Crustacea. Toxicants with lower molecular weight showed stronger negative impacts on post-diapause embryos than chemicals with higher molecular weight if related…
This paper analyzes the effects of integration between two neighbor ports with a third port sharing the same overlapping hinterland. The merger (integrated port) can select either the price discrimination or uniform pricing strategy after integration. Our study reveals that port integration is always beneficial to the merger and the third port, but results in the reduction of consumer surplus…
The quality of storm water run off from seaports can be an importan source of pollution to the marine environment. Currently, little knowledge exists with regards to the pollutant generation capacity specific to seaports as they do not necessarily compare well with conventional urban land use. The research project focussed on the assessment of pollutant build-up and wash-off. The study was unde…

Atmospheric and water pollution are two main sources of negative environmental externalities generated by shipping. This study recognizes the negative externalities in the production of port services in East Asia by explicitly incorporating environmental impacts of shipping. Programming techniques are used to analyze 156 Origin–Destination pairs between 13 major East Asian ports, to derive th…
This paper, being complementary to existing perspectives, aims to examine the behaviors and the strategies of production migration of polluting firms from an economic point of view under appropriate decision conditions in terms of uncertain influence of supply chain support and green technology progress.
