Generally, the integration of impact analysis and MCA is not routine to determine the degree of currently interacting environmental aspects and there was no so far research done on such way. In addition, the study was engaged in full of personal judgments that leads to subjectivity. This subjectivity was minimized by converting the personal judgments into weight and scores. In other case, the study faced a problem during data collection because of the employee engaged in intensive production and they had no time to give their judgment. In addition, such impact determination method was new for them and showed difficulties to understand on responding the questionnaire. The community also was not experienced to participate in such data collection and engaged on their works the whole day of the week. The study deals on minimizing these gaps through intensive follow up and giving continuous and enough explanations to the respondents about the questionnaire. In addition, the community was contacted in the weekends. Furthermore, the study was applied triangulation of data source and method. It ensured equal participation from different source, discipline and working experience. Moreover, the study was randomly selected local communities within the economically active age and households belonging to different experience and perception towards their surrounding environment.
Different academies and researchers explain cement manufacturing process comprises different activities and raw materials to produce cement (Chen et al, 2010; Shetty, 2005; Bye, 1999; Koroneos et al, 2005; Barnes & Bensted, 2002). Accordingly, in MCF the raw materials and the production process are the same with any cement plants raw materials used (limestone (80%), sh...

...Table 1.9c, the storm water causes soil erosion, gully formation and soil contamination. Differently, the local inhabitants agree on not much effect of the storm water on water logging, water contamination, and health related problem like malaria and diarrhoea.
Moreover, the local community household assures absence of solid waste transported and dumped to surrounding environment from the factory. There is no solid waste related problem coming from the factory. Although the local community household agree that the factory supported on education, employment and water source, they ranked (100%) as poor to the performance of the factory to take measures when factory related problems are found (Annex 9 Table 1.10). Even some of the measures are taken through long time with disputes. This shows there is poor relationship between the factory and the local inhabitants.
. Despite these unquestionable struggles many of the occupied factories succeeded in, not only drastically improving the welfare of its workers but also, either maintaining or increasing production within the factories. The economic successes of many of these businesses are undeniable in one factory alo...

... town had to supply clean drinking water as well as improved sewage and drainage systems. These short term social problems of sanitation and working conditions resulted in long term social reforms of the Factory Act and The Public Health Act.
We also witnessed a recycling area full of e-waste and various recycled materials. This waste was piled around homes; even children played around it. As we know this waste likely contained harsh metals and chemicals. It is possible that the inhabitants of this town aren’t aware of these dangers, yet they live among this waste that is dumped there from various companies. These living conditions are inhumane and hazardous to the health of these people.
Besides, environmental damage and public health threats were the most durable and dangerous effects of Hurricane Katrina. Industrial waste, oil spills, sewage household, toxic chemicals and other hazardous pollutants were scattered in the affected areas and neighboring regions. Contaminated water that overflowed the residential areas caused effects on long-term health in humans, animals and other locals. It also led to contamination of groundwater reserves, which is a major source of drinking
Solid waste management, the compilation, managing, and disposing of solid items that are neglected because they have failed to function or are no longer effective. Incorrect removal of municipal solid waste can create contaminated conditions, and these conditions in turn can lead to corruption of the surroundings and to outbreaks of vector-borne disease—that is, diseases caused by animals and insects. The tasks of solid waste management present complicated technical obstacles. The local government is responsible for collecting reusable, recyclable and non-biodegradable waste materials from the material recovery facilities and transporting them to the recycling centers and or to the municipal material recovery facility.
(Child Labour). Not only has the use of factories in developing countries caused or increased these societal issues, but has also largely increased the negative impact manufactured goods have on the
Main issue mentioned was the occurrence of discrimination and exclusion. As being a traumatized society these workers still receive the discrimination exclusion of work entitlements postcolonial period. With the implementation of the structural adjustment program in 1991 leading to retrenchment and casualization of workers under their system has resulted in jobs that weren’t secure. Till today this exploitation still exists in the culture of badli workers. The main issue is that these badli workers weren’t experiencing such economic inequality but simply the lack of access to social, political and civil entitlements. This meant that what was provided for majority of the society was simply lacking for the Badli workers, these are concerning issues of fairness and social justice. These workers need their fair share of equality when it comes to generating these entitlements however due to exploitation the badli system is corrupt and will take a while for an instant change to occur. The author’s conducted a research of 6984 workers that were employed in the jute mills, half were permanent and the other half were classified as badli. Gathering observations and discussions of these badli workers, the author was able to encapsulate their perceptions of being in the state of inequality. Results had established that each badli worker was
Nowadays, it will not be inept to inform that the universe is going over a construction boom. In truth, in the past few decades an entire affair of construction has altered dramatically like all other aspects of life. Currently, construction is no more just about keeping one brick above the other, but a diverse more than that. With the present scenario, the construction work encompasses all the aspects of construction like, performance, optimization, developing and designing. As an outcome, construction chemicals have become an essential part of the world construction industry. These chemicals are typically utilized to impart different properties into the layout.
Concrete is a composite material used widely in the construction industry. Concrete is basically a mixture of cement, water, aggregates and admixture (sometimes). Cement is a fine gray powder that consists of oxidizes calcium, silicon and aluminum. The aggregate used is normally gravel, crushed stone or sand. Admixture is a solid or liquid substance that gives a certain characteristics of the concrete. The cement reacts with water chemically and binds the aggregates together through a process called hydration during hardening or curing of concrete. It means that water helps in the hardening of the concrete while the cement bind the aggregate and also react with water to form a solid mass.
The rain effects lakes, rivers and the animals living within them. The plants in the lakes and rivers are killed in the same way as land plants. The fish and other animals are left with no food. The animals that do survive are killed from the metals being drawn into the water from the soil, when the acid bonds to them.
Community environmental impact analysis is a systematic process for identifying, describing and evaluating community natural and human resources & makes improvement about their management. The main points which are considered under the environmental impact analysis-:
These impacts are assessed based on many components such as environmental, socio-economic, cultural and human-health aspects.
The use of these elements can contaminate water because as the rain pours, these chemical substances are drained to nearby water resources such as river, pond and lake and thus polluting it. This will poison aquatic organism in the pond or lake and this will continue as when the other animals or humans consumed on this aquatic life. We also can see the side effect of this pollution as it will slow down the development of aquatic life, making them infertile and thus may lead to extinction of the aquatic life. Moreover, these chemical fertilizers also become a contributory factor to acid rain. Acid rain has many adverse effects.
Efficient waste managing approaches help with reducing and avoiding unpleasant impact on the environment and human health, while allowing financial development and progress in the quality of people’s life. People do not even imagine what is the size and capacity of their activities and the impact they produce on the environment. Garbage is an important ecological problem. It is seems amazing that approximately all of the citizens of the world identify rubbish as a major environmental problem and yet these people still litter. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (2008), an American produces 250 million tons of garbage per year (para.2). There are different circumstances that are based on the society, environmental conditions, occupation and size of each of the different family. As Richmond (2010) stated, if no administration organizations has the responsibility or resources to concentrate their efforts on the waste disposal, then the responsibility to do that is on ...
