The exploitation of rare-earth-element (REE) mines has resulted in severe ammonia nitrogen pollution and induced hazards to environments and human health.
Climate change and land-use degradation accelerate water induced hazards such as flash floods, riverine floods, erosion, landslides during the monsoon period, and droughts in non-monsoon periods.
Both approaches mentioned above are common in observational studies and offer a fast and comprehensive way to augment scientific knowledge of climate induced hazards.
The paper reviews the available open literature and summarizes the development of methods for deriving the fragility parameters of NPP components for use in PSA against seismic ground motion, wind and tsunami induced flood hazard.
The LVI also helps to capture the key factors that reflect the vulnerability situation of smallholder farming communities in the face climate induced environmental hazards.
The paper explores climate change induced hydro hazards and its impact on tribal communities in Majuli (largest river island of Brahmaputra River Basin).
This chapter analyzes and discusses the formation conditions, distribution characteristics, and induced engineering hazards of the representative special geological bodies, namely mud diapirs, mud volcanoes, coral reefs, and ancient river channels.
Phototoxicity, photoirritancy and photoallergy are topically induced health hazards that can be induced by (simulated) sun light (UV/vis radiation) in the presence of photoreactive agents, generally referred to as "photosensitizers".
Significant and systematic differences exist between upstream and downstream households in the study area with respect to hazard perception, hazard induced damages, asset accessibility, and adopted diversified coping practices.
