 Climate Change and Human
Aggravated Natural Disasters
 Ecosystem Fragmentation and
Biodiversity
 Aquatic and Water Resources
Systems Protection
 Agro-Industrial Ecology
 Land Degradation and Rehabilitation
 Cross-cutting issues (e.g. risk
assessment)
Professional Situation

7. Professional Situation
White phosphorus in soil and water of Gaza region

8. Professional
Situation
 Main problem: clean water, garbage,
polluted air, illegal logging
 Big water supply – 20% available
 Cause: distribution and pollution
 75% of river = high polluted, 20% =
medium polluted
 Source: domestic – industrial
 Correlated to public health (2nd cause
of death)
 Regulation submitted by
government, in practice?
 Prevention of pollution get
into water body
 Make pollution useful
 Reuse/Recycle/Reduce

9. Environmental Problems
Global Asia
1. Population growth (Driving force)
2. Deforestation and land degradation
3. Water pollution (Surface and
ground waters)

Natural Disaster (flood, typhoon,
landslides, volcanic erruption)

11.  Region Asia : different water problem
Water Pollution
 Middle and West: lack water
 South and East: too much water
 Asia = Industrial Area
 Asia = High Population
 Main problem: polluted water, can not
be consumed, emerge sanitation prob.
 Polluted water make disaster
 Dakka, Bangladesh
 Minamata, Japan
 Mayak, Russia
 Awareness and colaboration
of people, company, and
government
 Success e.g. Japan

12. Air Pollution in Asia
China !
Asia
India !
 China is the largest emitter of carbon dioxide in 2009 at 6.9 Gton
per year and India was the third (1.65 Gton per year)
 The world factory ! China.


According to the Chinese Ministry of Health, industrial pollution has made cancer China’s
leading cause of death.
Every year, ambient air pollution killed hundreds of thousands of citizens (Lung cancer
and cardiovascular disease were increasing because of factory and vehicle air pollution
and tobacco smoking).

13. Soil Contamination
 Accumulation and impacts of heavy
metals in agricultural soil
 Potential effects on human
health
and
long-term
sustainability
of
food
production
 Sources:
natural
source,
mining, smelting and flying
ash,
fertilizers
and
agrochemicals,
wastewater
irrigation
sewage
sludge
application, livestock manures
 Soil pollution control and
remediation:
land
filling,
fixation, leaching
