Abstract:
Dismantling
of ships in Chittagong, the commercial capital of Bangladesh is a reason for
concern in recent years. Failure to provide for environmentally sustainable
ship breaking procedure is an alert to the future generation to come. Ship
scrapping is an important source of raw materials in South Asia. Bangladesh
derives 80-90% of its steel from end-of-life ships. This study was conducted at
SRS Ship Breaking Yard to assess the impact of Ship Breaking and Recycling
Industries (SBRI) on environment through environmental impact assessment. This
study also reflects the water quality in adjacent areas of SRS Ship Breaking
Yard to criticize the impact of SBRI. Water quality parameters like Dissolved
Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Electric conductivity (EC), pH,
Turbidity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solids (TSS),
Chloride, Ammonia (NH3), Oil and Grease Concentration were measured in the
surroundings of SRS Ship Breaking Yard and compared to international standards.
