Rock fall hazard zoning is a challenging yet necessary task to be accomplished for planning an appropriate land use in mountainous areas. Methodologies currently adopted for elaborating zoning maps do not provide satisfactory results though, due to uncerta ...
Nanoscience is a young and growing field of science. It encompasses a diversity of sub-fields such as nanotechnology and nano-medicine, all of them seeking to realize the promises of nanoscale physics. Nano means: “billionth” and conceptually all nano-like ...
Large organizations as technological universities comprise numerous laboratories which are very rarely audited by health and safety professionals due to limited manpower. Moreover, research activities are permanently progressing with a rapid hazard evoluti ...
In this work, we present a practical and engineering risk management procedure for a university-wide safety and health management of nanomaterials, developed as a multi-stakeholder effort (government, accident insurance, researchers and experts for occupat ...
Research and teaching have an array of unique hazards which reflect both the variety and the continuous evolution of their operations. These hazards include chemical, physical, biological or technical facets. For example there is an increasing awareness of ...
Investigations of occupational and environmental risk caused by the use of agrochemicals have received considerable interest over the last decades. And yet, in developing countries, the lack of staff and analytical equipment as well the costs of chemical a ...
Rockfall constitute a serious threat to communities living in mountainous areas all over the world, and their potential hazard must be taken into account for an appropriate land use planning and for establishing risk mitigation measures. This chapter deals ...
Landslide hazard mapping aims at providing very useful information for urban planning and for risk analysis. Though landslide risks represent a common threat to human lives and properties worldwide, the procedures applied for hazard and risk assessment are ...
