Professional Situation
Instruction MS in Environmental Science PhD in Environmental Science
Research and Extension Programs Climate Change and Human
Aggravated Natural Disasters Ecosystem Fragmentation and
Biodiversity Aquatic and Water Resources
Systems Protection Agro-Industrial Ecology Land Degradation and
Rehabilitation Cross-cutting issues (e.g. risk
assessment)
Main problem: clean water, garbage, polluted air, illegal logging
Big water supply – 20% available Cause: distribution and pollution 75% of river = high polluted, 20% =
medium polluted Source: domestic – industrial Correlated to public health (2nd cause
of death)
Regulation submitted by government, in practice?
Prevention of pollution get into water body
Make pollution useful Reuse/Recycle/Reduce

Environmental Problems
Global Asia1. Population growth (Driving force)2. Deforestation and land degradation3. Water pollution (Surface and ground
waters)• Arsenic case in Bangladish• Eutrophication• Sewage discharge
4. Air pollution5. Soil contamination6. Climate change7. Armed conflict/war8. Natural Disaster (flood, typhoon,
landslides, volcanic erruption)
Water Pollution
Polluted water make disaster Dakka, Bangladesh Minamata, Japan Mayak, Russia
Awareness and colaboration of people, company, and government
Success e.g. Japan
Region Asia : different water problem Middle and West: lack water South and East: too much water
Asia = Industrial Area Asia = High Population Main problem: polluted water, can not
be consumed, emerge sanitation prob.
Air Pollution in Asia
China is the largest emitter of carbon dioxide in 2009 at 6.9 Gton per year and India was the third (1.65 Gton per year)
The world factory ! China.
According to the Chinese Ministry of Health, industrial pollution has made cancer China’s leading cause of death.
Every year, ambient air pollution killed hundreds of thousands of citizens (Lung cancer and cardiovascular disease were increasing because of factory and vehicle air pollution and tobacco smoking).
Asia India !
China !
Soil Contamination Accumulation and impacts of
heavy metals in agricultural soil
Potential effects on human health and long-term sustainability of food production
Sources: natural source, mining, smelting and flying ash, fertilizers and agrochemicals, wastewater irrigation sewage sludge application, livestock manures
Soil pollution control and remediation: land filling, fixation, leaching
