I intend to specialise in environmental law in the faculty of law graduate program at McGill University. Studying and researching on the need for proper implementation and enforcement of environmental legislations in order to curb the effect of solid waste on our health and environment is my research aspiration. The premises of environmental legislation is based on the facts that the amount of degradation of the environment has grown to enormous proportion and moreover, these legislations are made
Noise pollution has been one of environmental concerns as early as the inception of civilization when man was introduced to technology, which could use to obtain the basic necessities, to a modern development of complex technological. This has resulted to noise pollution from various anthropological activities especially in the city area. Over the past decades noise pollution has received increased attention and Studies has reported that noise pollution is one of the environmental hazard affecting
Over the past decades noise pollution has received increased attention and Studies has reported that noise pollution is one of the environmental hazard affecting human, the effects ranges from annoyance to difficulty in falling asleep, which latter leads to high blood pressure (WHO 2005; Ugwuanyi et al., 2005; Den Boer and Schroten 2007; Tetreault et al 2013 ). Although, noise pollution has been one of environmental concerns as early as the inception of civilization when man was introduced to technology
which was the point where modern environmental movements started. Since that time the US government has been spending tremendous amount of sources in order to reduce environmental damages created by industrial and commercial activities.

George Perkins Marsh’s (1864) historical effort to discuss the relationship between man and nature deserves a special reference in the study of world environmental movement. Rachel Carson’s (1965) Silent Spring seems to be the most popular text on ecology ever published in human history. It presented the negative impact of pesticides and insecticides on environment. Gorz, Andre (1980) presents the view that ecology constitutes an integral part of politics. Shiva Vandana (1988) has tried to look at
7,000 were hospitalized with respiratory problems. The cause was a weather anomaly that trapped toxic waste emissions from the town's zinc smelting plant close to the ground. The Donora disaster brought air pollution into focus in the United States, and paved the way for the Clean Air Act, enacted in 1963 and strengthened in 1970 . Between December 5 and 9, 1952, 4,000 people died in London as a result of smog trapped in a thermal inversion (a condition where the air close to the ground is colder

population. There has since been a controversy on the severity of the increase in agricultural activities, creating concern on freshwater pollution because these activities are inevitable. On one hand, this is an essential detrimental cycle, so it is inevitable. On the other hand, with the advancement of technology and new ways to prevent water pollution , is pollution really inevitable ? “Agricultural activities" refers to the systematic raising
The environmental pollution is a global issue now a days. It is a huge challenge to ensure a pollution free environment. Environmental pollution is any release of pollutants into water, land, or air which may cause severe impairments to the global ecological balance or that decrease the quality of life. The consequences of environmental pollution is a massive damage in the delicate balance of the biological food web that are visible only over long time phases [1-3]. Until relatively recently in humanity's
discuss such problems with a main focus on the environmental strategies of one of the major aluminium manufacturers in the world, UC RUSAL. UC RUSAL is one of the leading aluminium producers in the world (second largest) and produces about 9% of the total global output. The company’s history of environmental protection, their environmental strategies and how well they work in reality, and their path towards a sustainable society will be taken as a case study in the later chapters. Before that, there
