White phosphorus in soil and water of Gaza region

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

Environmental Problems

Global Asia1. Population growth (Driving force)2. Deforestation and land degradation3. Water pollution (Surface and ground

waters)• Arsenic case in Bangladish• Eutrophication• Sewage discharge

4. Air pollution5. Soil contamination6. Climate change7. Armed conflict/war8. Natural Disaster (flood, typhoon,

landslides, volcanic erruption)

Water Pollution

Polluted water make disaster Dakka, Bangladesh Minamata, Japan Mayak, Russia

Awareness and colaboration of people, company, and government

Success e.g. Japan

Region Asia : different water problem 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.

Air Pollution in Asia

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).

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
