man what do you want to know about the tamil nadu factory rules it would be wise to contact the respective ministry if on a large scale if it affects the environment u could coltact the tamilnadu pollution control board or in a small scale rules are nearly very little

B - Habitat degradation would be the closest I would say. \n\nBut, environmental degradation would be a better answer:\nIt is related to the deterioration of the environment both in terms of quantity and extinction of some wildlife species and quality like air, water or land pollution.

Here are two papers written by Nerlie Abram, and one by Nerlie and a group of scientists, all  cover the threat to coral reefs posed by red tide and the theories on how wildfires contribute to the growth of red tide.\n\nNerlie Abram\n\nPhD student (final year) Research School of Earth Sciences,\n\n : THE NEW THREAT TO CORAL REEFS \n\nSmoke from fires raging through tropical forests near coastal reefs can cause an algal bloom capable of killing virtually all coral and fish for hundreds of kilometres, according to new research by Australian National University scientists.\n\nThis discovery explains the mysterious death of nearly all coral and fish in a 400 kilometre stretch of the Mentawai Islands reef, southwest of Sumatra in Indonesia, in 1997.\n\nIn a paper published in the latest issue of Science, a team of ANU researchers reveal that nutrients in smoke from the 1997 Indonesian wildfires produced a large algae bloom, known as a red tide, that suffocated the reef ecosystem – over a distance equivalent to around a quarter of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.\n\nBy examining the skeletal growth and geochemistry of Porites corals, researchers led by Ms Nerilie Abram, were able to track the environmental factors which led to the red tide. In examining fossilised corals, they found the red tide had been the worst in 7000 years.\n\n“This was an extreme event and almost six years on, the reefs still haven’t recovered,” says Nerilie. “We fear that future fires could further damage the reefs before they can recover.” \n\nThe researchers found that thick smoke from the 1997 Sumatra fires released almost 11,000 tonnes of iron into the atmosphere. The iron acted as a fertiliser, increasing water nutrient levels and providing the extraordinary conditions which led to the red tide algal bloom. The bloom led to reef death by asphyxiation.\n\nCores from rare corals that survived the 1997 red tide showed a clear hiatus in growth at the time of the fires.\n\n“When fires burn they release nutrients and this study has shown that these nutrients can create serious problems for coral reefs.”\n\n“Indonesia’s reefs are the most diverse in the world and are an important source of new corals that help to rejuvenate Australia’s coral reefs.  They are estimated to generate approximately US$4 billion a year in tourism, fishing and employment for Indonesia.” \n\n“Unfortunately they are also among the most threatened reefs in the world and conservation projects are of high-priority.”\n\n"It is expected that this new threat to coral reefs and other coastal ecosystems will increase in the future as global warming and forest clearing lead to more wildfires."\n\nNerilie is presenting her research to the public for the first time thanks to Fresh Science, a national program to bring public attention to the remarkable unsung achievements of young Australian scientists. Nerilie will be speaking to the public and school students about her work on Tuesday 19 and Wednesday 20 August at the Melbourne Museum.\n\n \n\nNerlie Abram\n\nPhD student (final year) Research School of Earth Sciences,\n\nFire: the new threat to coral reefs\nCoral reef death during the 1997 Indian Ocean Dipole linked to Indonesian wildfires \n\nFires represent a new and unexpected threat to coral reefs.  It has been found that the nutrients released by wildfires can produce large algae blooms in the ocean that suffocate fish and coral.  Global warming has seen a recent increase in wildfires and this trend is expected to continue, raising the future risk to coral reefs.\n\nProject description \nCoral reefs, the so-called “rainforests of the sea”, are being threatened by fire.  That is the finding of scientists working at the Australian National University.\n\nOver recent years, global warming has combined with forest clearing to produce some of the worst wildfires in history.  In 1997 the wildfires in Indonesia burnt out of control for over five months, bl

Well that is a tricky question, because do you mean environmental like related to the planet or environmental as in a company's surroundings.\n\nEnvironmentally, all natural occurances affect business.  For example, snow could shut down a distribution center for a company in Florida, limiting the arrival of a new product.  But on the counterside, it increases business for a snow lodge, which is a positive effect, but one none the less.\n\nAs for surroundings, look at Porter's Five Forces.  Everything affects business, legal issues  consumer trends, new technology, all have an effect on how business runs.

The mining of any material from the earth will effect the balance of the earth because it cause changes in the mass moment of inertia of the earth.\n\nSimply stated mass moment of inertia property of any volume containing mass depends on the location and density of all the material in that volume.\n\nWhen we mine materials from the earth move volumes and masses around the surface.\n\nFortunately the total volume of material that has been moved as the result of mining is very small relative to the size of the earth. The affect of these operations is very small as to be unmeasurable.\n\nOn the other hand the creation of dams and reservoirs is believe to have a measurable effect (http://www.threegorgesprobe.org/TgP/index.cfm?DSP=content&ContentID=13755)\n\nNiel

Google that and you will find as I did that there is a wealth of information on external environment analysis within health care!!!\n\nGood Luck!!!

Lots of pollution. According to estimates , it polluted 330 thousand of hectares of land and increased the SPM by 55 PPM. more than 5000 adults developed breathing problems as a result of that and it resulted in more than 900 stillbirths in the next two years

depends where the area is. they may not even let you mine the area if the coal contains large amounts of sulfer or other impurities since pollution laws are stricter nowadays. i think the better option would be to just sell it to a mining company unless you want to start your own mine, i dont know how you would go about doing that.

Effects\nThe combined effects of pyroclastic flows, volcanic ashes and tsunamis had disastrous results in the region. There were no survivors from 3,000 people located at the island of Sebesi, about 13 km from Krakatoa. Pyroclastic flows killed around 1,000 people at Ketimbang on the coast of Sumatra some 40 km north from Krakatoa. The official death toll recorded by the Dutch authorities was 36,417 and many settlements were destroyed, including Teluk Betung and Ketimbang in Sumatra, and Sirik and Semarang in Java. The areas of Banten on Java and the Lampong on Sumatra were devastated. There are numerous documented reports of groups of human skeletons floating across the Indian Ocean on rafts of volcanic pumice and washing up on the east coast of Africa, up to a year after the eruption. Some land on Java was never repopulated; it reverted to jungle and is now the Ujung Kulon National Park.\n\nRead more --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krakatoa#Effects

I have managed it a few times with a gold pan.The cost was astronomical though.We camped in upper misgar in Hunza.For the first couple of days we could actually see gold particles everywhere in the wet sands.It was the greatest thrill I ever had.The gold particles were very fine though & what seemed to be a very rich small deposit produced only about 6.5 ounces in five days.The first couple of days produced about 5.5 ounces.Third day was a struggle.Fourth & fifth barely contributed a couple of grams.

There is no particular change in the regulations.  What likely happened, is the particular power plant negotiated with other plants that were more efficient in controlling polution and "bought" some of their credits so they could use these to pollute at a higher level until they get their act together too.
