Abstract:
This thesis is a regional interdisciplinary analysis of the environmental challenge to the liberal democratic state. It situates these new problems of governance in one of the dominating political conflicts of our time, the battle between market and state for the 'commanding heights'. By the end of the 1970s, environmental concerns had added to the social crises associated with the overloaded, welfare state. The study sets the political context through an exposition of the perceived problems of the overloaded state, analysed by neo-Marxist theorists in terms of rationality and legitimacy de

Abstract:
Anthropogenically driven climate change not only results in rising of sea temperature but also leads to more frequent and longer-lasting cold and heat waves. Meanwhile, coastal marine ecosystems are constantly challenged by increasing threats of chemical pollution. Temperature and chemical stressors can jointly affect the livelihood of marine organisms, but their combined effects are still poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of thermal stress and chemical exposure on the marine medaka Oryzias melastigma, copepod Tigriopus japonicus and rotifer Brachionus k

Abstract:
The current military respirator provides protection from contaminants using a cartridge packed with adsorbent activated carbon particles treated with metal salts to provide protection from toxic gases. However, the user of this respirator is subject to a physiological burden as a result. One component of this burden is the pressure drop, which makes breathing through the respirator filter difficult, with the burden becoming more severe at higher breathing rates. This project investigates the reduction of pressure drop and hence burden in respirator cartridges by using adsorbent hollow fibres.

Abstract:
The governance of the environmental and health problems that follow in the wake of globalised trade is one of the great contemporary challenges. One of these challenges is the management of chemical pollution and associated risks, and one sector facing this challenge is the textile industry, which has complex supply chains spread across continents. At the same time the role of actors on the playing field are changing and market actors are being called on to responsibly manage the issue of chemical risks and associated challenges.

Activated sludge treatment systems rely on a microbial consortium structurally organized in bioflocs to treat pollutants present in wastewater. The treatment process efficiency in these systems can be severely affected by toxic chemicals present in the influent wastewater. The effects of chemical toxins at the treatment process level are determined by the mechanisms that occur at the biofloc and cellular levels, which can be physical, chemical and physiological in nature. We believe that the overall process effects of chemical toxins on activated sludge systems likely result from a combination

Chemical substances released from the materials may cause cytotoxicity and adverse biological effects. N,N-Dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMPT), 2-Dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and 4-Dimethylaminobenzoic acid ethyl ester (DMABEE) are three chemicals released from composite resins. Because of moderate toxicity, they were less investigated in previous studies. However, these three chemicals do not bond to composite resin after curing and are released to oral cavities for a long time. Thus, it i

The gravity analysis of glass trial would use chemicals - Tribromomethane. Tribromomethane is one of controlled toxic chemicals by Environmental Protection Administration Executive Yuan,R.O.C (Taiwan). Tribromomethane will restrain the central nervous system for physical harm. It could be much serious that causes respiratory failure and death. Maybe it'd cause cancer, genetic mutation, liver and stomach damage. For en

碩士<br>輔仁大學<br>公共衛生學系碩士班<br>96<br>Abstract Introduction: Electrocautery is widely used to cut and coagulate tissue during surgery in the operating room. A visible smoke with unpleasant odor is produced by electrocautery to pyrolysis tissue. It’s so-called “electrocautery smoke”. Electrocautery smoke contains several mutagens and carcinogens. This study intends to quantify certain chemicals with unpleasant odor and hazard in the electrocautery smoke. Meanwhile, the correlation between the concentrations and the factors included the type of diagnosis, surgery, patient’s BMI, suction condition, u

These accidents in disasters often raise costs for the government; it also brings negative effects to the Nation Economy. In addition, most toxic chemical factories do not emphasize the importance of disaster preventions and rescue managements. As a result, when disasters occur, toxic chemical factories are unable to react effectively. Therefore, this may cause a significant damage and impact in the environment - an inevi

The disaster may cause severe casualties as well as have a negative impact on Taiwan’s competitive ability and domestic economic growth. For instance, the tragic gas explosion occurred at Cianjhen, Kaohsiung in August 2014 has caused incalculable damage to the area.
