Man made sources of debris included anything that had been put into orbit and was no longer useful, most debris being pieces smaller than 10 centimetres in diameter or tiny particles.

No more contamination of our sea..

The risk is microbial and viral contamination.

No reports were made regarding major DDT incidents, such as production or road accidents and spills, resulting in human exposures to and or environmental contamination.

Microbiological contamination of water sources is a common problem in many countries and chemical contamination (notably arsenic and fluoride) is increasingly a concern.

Smaller species live in debris and humus.

And then turns it into light debris .

And then turns it into light debris .

We welcome the language on marine debris.

In other cases, treating a disease or controlling a pathogen can be vital to preventing its spread to others, such as during an outbreak of infectious disease, or contamination of food or water supplies.

Lost and abandoned fishing gear and related debris

It is estimated that some 100,000 marine mammals die every year from entanglement or ingestion of fishing gear and related marine debris.

The Panel notes that the mudflats are characterized by low levels of oil contamination, and the evidence provided is not sufficient to demonstrate that the contamination is causing environmental damage.

National research on space debris, safety of space objects with nuclear power sources on board and problems relating to their collision with space debris

The view was expressed that the IADC space debris mitigation guidelines could be endorsed by the Subcommittee as the technical background to the document on space debris mitigation being developed in the framework of the Working Group on Space Debris.

In the view of the Panel, the estimated magnitude of oil contamination (4.7 square kilometres) is also consistent with current observations of invasion related shoreline contamination (0.8 square kilometres) identified in Kuwait's monitoring and assessment studies, taking into account likely reductions in the extent of contamination during the intervening years.

Delays of only a few days may make the disease untreatable, so treatment should be started even without symptoms if possible contamination or exposure is suspected.

Marine debris, also referred to as marine litter, is any persistent, manufactured or processed solid material discarded, disposed of or abandoned in the marine and coastal environment. Chapter X.B.

He further warned against the placement of non offensive weapons around satellites or non debris producing weapons as these weapons themselves could be targeted by parties using low cost, low technology weapons that create fields of debris and destroying the other more technologically advanced weapons.

The Scientific and Technical Subcommittee had also continued its work on space debris, under a new workplan for the period 2005 to 2007, and the Working Group on Space Debris had finalized the first draft of a document on space debris mitigation.

(a) Sources of marine debris (the main land based and sea based sources of marine debris, including fisheries activities) (see A 60 63, paras. 236 240)

The alarming UNEP report on marine debris only heightens our concern over the ever growing accumulation of non biodegradable debris in the marine and coastal environments.

The second claim unit is for damage to or depletion of terrestrial and agricultural resources in Iran caused by contamination from the oil well fires in Kuwait.

They removed about 3.6 million pounds (1,600 tonnes) of debris from more than 7,700 miles (12,320 km) of coasts, shorelines and underwater sites (c) the National Marine Debris Monitoring Program is designed to gather scientifically valid marine debris data following a rigorous statistical protocol.

Pursuant to paragraph 17 of General Assembly resolution 59 116, the Subcommittee reconvened the Working Group on Space Debris to consider, as necessary, the proposals of the Inter Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee on space debris mitigation and any related comments that might be received.

Full isolation of the body is important to prevent possible contamination of others.

The baking process is thought to reduce the bacterial contamination, precluding negative effects.

(c) Research on space debris using Ukraine's radio communications systems

Marine debris comes from both land and ship based sources.

The fishing industry is a major contributor to marine debris.

Marine debris is a continuous concern in the Southern Ocean.

The Committee noted that the United States had endorsed the IADC space debris mitigation guidelines and that its domestic agencies were implementing debris mitigation practices consistent with them.

Of the various measures for reducing that type of debris, the most effective was to mitigate the production of new debris, which required agreement both by States and entities with the capability to launch satellites and by States and entities that built or commissioned the building of satellites.

Beyond health effects, contamination could terrorize affected populations, prompting temporary flight and permanent relocation.
