Application for Matter-Element Model in Eco-environment Impact Assessment of Tourism Highway

This article describes how the shipbreaking industry has been under the microscope, more often in recent years, with scrutiny from governments, international agencies and environmental activists, on issues pertaining to sustainability in general and environmental impact in particular. Several cases of vessels-to-be-dismantled, by and large in yards located in South Asia, have been discussed in literature, with concerns on the modus operandi of dismantling end-of-life ships, and the mode of disposal of hazardous residual wastes. In this article, the authors review extant methodologies, and examine the decision alternatives available to shipbreakers, recyclers and waste material handlers to minimize damage to the environment. Impact assessment results using Open-LCA has been presented to demonstrate the relative impact loadings on various environmental parameters, from the path functions adopted. The results of the environmental impact assessment provide decision insights on various alternatives that may be appropriated in order to mitigate environmental damage. The article concludes with discussion, perspectives and future research directions to improve decision making for sustainable shipbreaking.

Matter Element Model

In connection with the problems that coal mining accounts for water environment pollution and socio-economic development, the main factors was analyzed. From water environment system, ecological system and socio-economic system, corresponding evaluation index system was perfected and became fit for factual situation. Matter-element model of water environment impact evaluation was constructed and used to evaluate four large-scale coal mining areas. The results showed that assessment model in accordance with the objective reality. Compared with other evaluation models, matter-element model is more accurate and comprehensive. By matlab, a calculating program was made and can be dynamically amended.

Environment impact assessment has been done in the paper by using the method of investigation on spot and indoor analysis, in order to study and affect on Aolidan lubricating oil factory projects construction to Jieyang city. Once putting into production ,this project may have detrimental influence on the local environment such as: Guangdong Oita Industry Co. Ltd. in Jiedong Economic Development Zone, the middle of the south side of the new cross road of lube oil blending plant, covers an area of 33000 square meters, of which construction area of 22000 square meters.After the completion of the project, with annual 17482.99 tons of base oil, additives, 2000 tons, 400 tons and 200 tons of emulsifier, assistant, production of finished oil 20000 tons. During the construction period and the operation of the plant, the waste gas, sewage, noise impact on the surrounding environment, should be controlled by counter water pollution , air pollution, noise pollution and solid waste emissions scheme and measures, in order to follow the national and local regulations.
