Orica has built a A $ 167M Groundwater Treatment Plant to achieve containment of this contamination and provide high quality industrial water to Botany Industrial Park.

Periodic spills from adjacent industrial lands have also increased contamination.

* industrial disasters such as the release of toxic gas or contamination of river water ;

* Soil contamination including industrial waste

The northern part of the site had been within the Los Angeles City Oil Field, an industrial area which contained over 1, 000 active oil wells around 1900, and a concern of soil contamination – specifically, methane and hydrogen sulfide – was confirmed during development in 1999.

Although it is still subject to agricultural, domestic, and industrial sources of contamination, the actual levels of hazardous materials has not been officially assessed with regularity.

Brownfields are defined as, " A former industrial or commercial site where future use is affected by real or perceived environmental contamination.

The area also once contained a popular golf course-St Michaels Municipal, however it closed due to arsenic contamination, which is a reminder of the industrial waste that lies beneath.

As a result of disputes over the use of the land and soil contamination from the previous industrial uses, the land remained vacant for over forty years.

Analytical chemistry has played critical roles in the understanding of basic science to a variety of practical applications, such as biomedical applications, environmental monitoring, quality control of industrial manufacturing, forensic science and so on.

It is widely used in analytical chemistry ; though the high temperatures used in GC make it unsuitable for high molecular weight biopolymers or proteins ( heat denatures them ), frequently encountered in biochemistry, it is well suited for use in the petrochemical, environmental monitoring and remediation, and industrial chemical fields.

The availability of industrial Distributed Temperature Sensing ( DTS ) systems that measure in real time temperatures all along the cable is a first step in monitoring the transmission system capacity.

In recent years, industrial and biological monitoring has presented another major need for metal analysis via ICP-MS.

According to the Council of Logistics Management, logistics contains the integrated planning, control, realization and monitoring of all internal and network-wide material -, part-and product flow including the necessary information flow in industrial and trading companies along the complete value-added chain ( and product life cycle ) for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements.

The environment, health and safety aspects of aluminium gallium arsenide sources ( such as trimethylgallium and arsine ) and industrial hygiene monitoring studies of standard MOVPE sources have been reported recently in a review.

Though detection methods have been developed for BZ, these have not been standardized for field use and are limited to laboratory analysis or specialized monitoring in industrial facilities ( past ).

Information technology, together with industrial machinery and processes, can assist in the design, implementation, and monitoring of control systems.

# Planning, design, management, maintenance and monitoring functional and aesthetic layouts of built environment in urban, suburban, and rural areas including private and public open spaces, parks, gardens, streetscapes, plazas, housing developments, burial grounds, memorials ; tourist, commercial, industrial and educational complexes ; sports grounds, zoos, botanic gardens, recreation areas and farms.

However, it was ideal for industrial applications, such as monitoring the bright interior of an industrial furnace.

About of the new wildlife refuge, the former industrial area, will remain under DOE control to protect the ongoing environmental monitoring and remediation.

These committees have responsibilities for: establishing programme objectives, curriculum content and delivery modes ; establishing terminal standards and certification ; prescribing training equipment, hardware and software ; prescribing training facilities and environment ; advising on industrial training attachments ; reviewing programme results and diploma holders ’ employment performance ; monitoring and reviewing market demand ; and reviewing and upgrading programmes.

This segment provides monitoring and control instruments for marine, environmental, scientific, industrial, and defense applications as well as harsh environment interconnect products.

In geophysics a similar technique ( called electrical resistivity tomography ) is used using electrodes on the surface of the earth or in bore holes to locate resistivity anomalies, and in industrial process monitoring the arrays of electrodes are used for example to monitor mixtures of conductive fluids in vessels or pipes.

The development of wireless sensor networks was motivated by military applications such as battlefield surveillance ; today such networks are used in many industrial and consumer applications, such as industrial process monitoring and control, machine health monitoring, and so on.

LIBS is also a very rapid technique giving results within seconds, making it particularly useful for high volume analyses or on-line industrial monitoring.
