The researchers, who monitored the rate of erosion between 1980 and 2010, said pollution erosion at the cathedral was at a 300-year low.
Inefficient energy use is what's bad for the economy, as is the collateral damage in terms of pollution, erosion of water resources, and international security that accompanies old-school fossil fuel and nuclear solutions on the supply side.
This information could be used as a starting point for future research (i) given the availability of multi-temporal surveys to track the changes in the extent of the mine; (ii) to relate the extent of the mines to the amount of processes in the area (e.g. pollution, erosion, etc)., and to (iii) combine the two points, and analyse the effects of the change related to changes in erosion.
Concomitantly, traditional farmlands are becoming less arable due to salinity, nitrogen pollution, erosion, and many other factors.
ReprintsEnvironmentalists worry about air pollution, coastal erosion, the endangered olive ridley turtle and much else.
Careful use of fertilizer and irrigation water and the preservation of unplanted land buffers between crops and water bodies can reduce fertilizer pollution, soil erosion and water consumption.
The annoying thing is that because the true environmental and health costs of chemical agriculture (pollution, soil erosion, ill health, animal suffering and more) are "externalised", that is, not accounted for up front in calculations of the "efficiency" of our existing food system, organic food generally costs more.
Obesity, pollution, cultural erosion, could all be laid by the company's many enemies at Mr Turner's door: except that to him the world of McDonald's meant fun eating, great service and the same sizzling taste, wherever the golden arches confidently stood.
Drainage-induced diffuse pollution and erosion are key water quality problems in peatland forestry.
Deterioration in the environment - notably air pollution, soil erosion, and the steady fall of the water table, especially in the North - is another long-term problem.
However, in the absence of a comprehensively sustainable development scheme, this increase has brought severe environmental issues, such as water resources depletion and pollution, soil erosion, desertification, acid rain, sandstorms, forest depletion, and solid waste pollution.
