Environmental Problems in Bangkok
Air pollution
Traffic is one of the most important causes of air pollution in
Bangkok. Bangkok traffic was said to create high level of dust
particles, and Carbon Monoxide. BMTA buses, trucks and smaller
transport vans were frequently stopped for on-the-road checking.
The rapid growth of Bangkok has severely stained its facilities and
led to a number of serious problems. The city now has over a million
registered motor vehicles and because of the limited road surface,
traffic congestion is heavy in central areas. Many spots have been
declared that air quality were seriously sub-standard. There has been
continuing monitoring of air quality at several places with recorded
high level traffic jam.
Water Pollution
According to several studies, there are three main sources of
pollutants in the Chao Phraya River and its tributaries, and the city
canals. These are factories, households and restaurants. Although
large factories are required to install water treatment facilities in
order to obtain their annual operating permits from the Department of
Industrial Works (DIW), this does not apply to many medium and small
plants. The existing household water treatment capacity serves about
only two percent of Bangkok's population. The wastewater of most
households is discharged into canals and then drained into the river.
The six most polluted canals share over 54 percent of total domestic
pollution loads discharged into the Chao Phraya River. Domestic
sources account for about 75 percent of the pollution in Chao Phraya
River, while factories account for remaining 25 percent.
Noise Pollution
It was noted that noise levels measured by the National Environmental
Board were well above the internationally accepted level of

Solutions
=========
Ø The Bangkok government could reduce the amount of air pollution by
reducing the number of cars on the roads
Ø Installing new sewage systems
Ø Directing the industrial waste away from the rivers
Ø Enforcing water waste regulations on all business no matter what

One of China’s best successes has in turn been one of its biggest downfalls. One of the main problems is China’s greatest success which has been its phenomenal economic growth. This is one of the main drivers of the current environmental problems that the country faces. Factories dump pollutants into the air and water. It is difficult to see the Chinese government making the significant sacrifices required to improve their environment if it means slowing down their economic growth.
Many cities are currently affected by air pollution and Hong Kong is one example. Hong Kong’s air pollution level often exceeds the recommended air pollution level put out by the World Health Organization, and Hong Kong’s pollution index was at “very high” meaning that it exceeded 101, for 34% of the time (Hunt, 2011). Another example, when Hong Kong excee...
The Thailand Tiger Temple is a sanctuary for wild animals including tigers. The monks who run the temple were accused of animal abuse towards the tigers. The monks ended up denying all of the accusations. The Ringling Brothers Circus also abuses their animals such as their tigers. The tiger 's handlers forces them to perform by using whips, tight collars, muzzles, electric prods, and bullhooks.
Southeast Asia consists of 10 countries, with the one of most beautiful regions on earth. This is because, it is have a thick forest, with surrounded by beautiful beaches, and it is full of amazing wildlife. In addition, Southeast Asia also have some urban centres, and amazing perspectives along the stimulation of the growth in a world economy today. Meanwhile, according to the Rich, (n.d.), he was mention that based on United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), “One person alone cannot save the planet’s biodiversity, but each individual’s effort to encourage nature’s wealth must not be underestimated.”
Waste water treatment plants are essential to communities of all sizes and must work efficiently. Waste water treatment plant primary priority and responsibility is the treatment of incoming sewage water by the removal of biological and chemical wastes so it can be treated and recycled for future use. There are many government agencies and standards set forth to govern and observe the successful treatment of sewage such as: the Department of Environmental Quality, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and the Clean Water Act of 1972. Compliance and constant monitoring of the treatment plant’s operations are important; as they protect the surrounding community. A spill or backflow of sewage due to a complete system malfunction could potentially be detrimental to the environment and local community. A precise system, of which must be compliant according to government standards, is critical to maintain low levels of wastes that are returned to neighboring water systems after treatment.
...ount of water use and prevent environmental pollution from not producing dying chemical waste to environment. Even though these actions will not solve all environment pollutions, they are good reflection of attempting to steps to increase positive externalities.

Personal big data analysis (PDA) as the name implies involves dealing with terabytes of data. The project would be hosted on the cloud on AWS, Google App engine any of the other major cloud infrastructure providers. The heart of the “cloud” is the datacenter. Since the project is a mobile application it would also mean we must take into consideration the impact of wireless telecommunication towers.
The main activities that cause water pollutions in Bhutan are ongoing development and human actives such as urbanization, rapid growth of population, more hydro electric projects construction and other infrastructure development and industization activities which produce huge amount of waste leading contamination of water bodies in the country degrading quality of safe drinking water of the nation. Human waste and solid waste dumping in the rivers and urbanization waste water.

The world today is vastly different from what it was before urbanisation and industrialisation had taken its toll on the world. Since the turn of the new millennium the issue of the environment has suddenly evolved into a widespread issue which is greatly discussed throughout the world. No longer are humans living in a world where the environment is serene or stable but much rather becoming unrecognisable and diminishing before our eyes. The plants, trees and flowers are life forms which God has created for us to enjoy its beauty but it is now solely up to us and many other organisations to protect preserve and respect how fragile our environment really is.
