Less rainfall means there is less water to enter into the facility and transport radioactive waste. On the negative side there are three things which cause me an unsteady feeling. First, the mountain is in an area where there has been volcanic activity. Because of the activity strong gases have entered into the ground which could cause explosions to be destructive. Secondly, the area has several faults running through the area where the proposed facility was to be built.
Non-explosive eruptions tend to produce mostly lava flows, which do not represent a particularly serious hazard to people, however they will destroy farmland and buildings. Ash clouds are explosive eruptions that blast solid and molten rock (called tephra or pyroclastics) into the air with tremendous force. Ash clouds pose a considerable threat to aircraft, can cause buildings to collapse and can also cause death by asphyxiation. Pyroclastic flows are a potential product of volcanic activity; clouds of incandescent gas, ash and rocks with temperatures up to 800°C and speeds of over 200kph. They can cause widespread destruction, such as the 1980 eruption of Mt St Helens.
“Green Energy Future with Fracking!” The United States should not include hydraulic fracturing as a part of their energy future because of environmental risks. Hydraulic fracturing is a new drilling technique that extracts hard to reach oil or gas from shale-rock (Whitten & Beinecke, 2013). Proponents of hydraulic fracturing argue that this process is not harmful to environment. Although some studies have shown that hydraulic fracturing may be safer than traditional oil drilling techniques, this new drilling technique poses danger to environment (Inglesby & Jenks & Nquist & Pinner, 2012). In fact, hydraulic fracturing causes air pollution.
The public services would be unprepared for the potential incidents also no problems or area of improvement would be highlighted which would then occur during the response this which can result in the serious injuries and even deaths of those involved in the incident. Nothing form past incidents would be learned from because of the poor relations and communications between services. This is why Inter-agency planning and communication is vital when the public services respond to a major incident, allows the public service to respond efficiently and effectively to incidents which will save peoples life’s and prevent any further escalation of the
Its relatively low temperature, high silica content and leads to blockages and powerful eruptions. This can mean that the eruptions caused by thick magma can be less frequent and more difficult to predict, meaning that when an eruption does occur, it is usually with little or no warning, which can lead to catastrophic consequences as any nearby settlement will be relatively unprepared for the effects of a violent volcanic eruption. Furthermore, acidic magma is more likely to produce
| True | False | f. The most effective way to control a risk is to eliminate the hazard. | True | False | g. Isolating the hazard is one way of controlling risks in the workplace | True | False | h. Reporting ‘near misses’ is a waste of time and does not help to minimise workplace risks. | True | False | i. Risk assessments are only necessary when an accident occurs. | True | False
Gases dissolved in magma provide the motive force of volcanic eruptions, sulphurous volcanic gas and visible steam are usually the first things noticed on an active volcano as well as others that escape unseen for example through hot fumaroles, active vents, and porous ground surfaces. The limitations of taking these samples are remote location of these sites, intense and often hazardous fumes, frequent bad weather, and the potential for sudden eruptions can make regular sampling sometimes impossible and dangerous. Measuring gases remotely is possible but requires ideal weather and the availability of suitable aircraft or a network of roads around a
However, not all these injuries are caused by ignorance, carelessness or negligence. When taken, simple precautions can aid in avoiding such mishaps. Fireworks should be used correctly and as intended. Nevertheless, when improperly designed, fireworks can cause a malfunction leads to severe injuries and accidents. At this era of endless litigation and lawsuits, one should figure out the beginning of consumer responsibility and the end of product liability.
Economic long term effects are still unknown about this pesticide; therefore to use this pesticide could cause irreparable damage to the environment. Not knowing all there is to know about the long term exposure of Malathion, I can not willfully allow the environment and citizens to suffer. Taking into consideration the population that lives near and around the river and the emissions that would be released from the pesticide was a large factor in making my
Theconditions are based on what those at risk believe to be true at the time, not on what the emergency managers know after the fact. It is also important to distinguish between the occurrence of an event and the potential for dangerous consequences resulting from that event. For example, trapped miners who realize that they will have sufficient air until rescue comes don’t panic. It is the possibility that the air will be exhausted that causes panic. Just being tapped does not cause the
