The present work establishes environmental quality and life quality relations through quality rates. These rates are determined by evaluating quadratic matrixes and indicators. The PM-10, SO2 levels, and lead in PM10 found during the working period (April-December 2001), overrun the maximum limits permitted by the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as the national air environmental quality standards for Peru, which not only determines a decreasing in air quality, but rather gives rise to a decreasing in the populations’s life quality, having consequences on their health and impairing the city’s landscape. The Optimum Quality Rate (OQR) for Metropolitan Lima area is of the order of 101.5, and the Integrated Life Quality Rate (ILQR) is 68.55, what shows that environmental factors influence decisively on the quality of life of Lima inhabitants.

Many countries of Latin America have used the sectoral planning I united purpose to administer activities and coastal resources, but in most of the cases these programs have not reached the maturation. The antecedents of study socioeconòmicos and environmental that one has in the study area, added to environmental monitoreos, you interview and other mensuration instruments that are used, allow to face a design of Planning and Integrated Administration of the coastal area, based on a holistic perspective. The present work has as purpose to propose an a methodology that serves as base to assign the best uses from the territory to the productive activities and services in the port of the Callao, to minimize the environmental impacts originated by the growth of activities and for the population’s growth in the short and medium term. This allows to the National University bigger than San M...

This present work makes part of the research project Environmental Evaluation and Recovery of the Bay of Paita, carried out in 2003 and sponsored by the High Research Council of the UNMSM. The present study has the aim of evaluating the environmental conditions of the Bay of Paita and its surrounding as well as to suggest solution strategies to the various environmental problems shown to improve populations’ life quality and to preserve environment and natural resources. Our conclusion is that there is impairment of both urban and physical environments, and activities incompatibility, which makes evident a lack of territorial ordering.

Descriptions of environmental impact are necessary to predict the effects of specific projects on defined and often small areas, as is the case of the bay of Chancay. In this bay residual water from the fish industry and urban spilling are usually discharged. Environmental impact caused on marine sediments is deduced from an evaluation of the bio-oceanographic conditions this bay presents. Impacts generated this way vary according the environmental variable’s sensitivity or fragility, thus it is, for example, that impact on whichever of them can put the rest of the trophic chain in danger.Such is the case of this research, environmental impact is produced on the short-run and takes place when fishing industrial processing plants are working. The one on the long-run takes place due to the gathering of residues and pollutants that can become irreversible or unavoidable as time goes. The i...

This work evaluates the environmental risks resulting from the industrial fishing activity and mining activity (Antamina pipeline) in the port of Huarmey. This study is expected to contribute to the scientific knowledge of environmental risks, increase the quality of life of the population and protect the environment.

Muchos países de América Latina han empleado la planificación sectorial, un propósito para administrar actividades y recursos costeros, pero en la mayoría de los casos estos programas no han alcanzado la maduración. Los antecedentes de estudio socioeconómicos y ambientales que se tiene en el área de estudio, sumado a monitoreos ambientales, encuestas y otras instrumentos de medición que se utilizan, permite encarar un diseño de Planificación y Gestión Integrada de la zona costera, basados en una perspectiva holística. El presente trabajo tiene como finalidad proponer una una metodología que sirva de base para asignar los mejores usos del territorio a las actividades productivas y servicios en el puerto del Callao, para minimizar los impactos ambientales originados por el crecimiento de actividades y por el crecimiento de la poblacion en el corto y mediano plazo. Esto permit...

In order to evaluate the copper content in the mollusc existing Enoplochiton Niger Huarmey Bay in the province of Huarmey, department of Ancash, Peru, the concentration (ug / g) of copper in the muscle of the mollusk was determined by the technique atomic absorption spectrophotometry in the laboratory that used CERPER Method: NOM-117-SSA 1-1994. The samples were homogenized and subjected to wet digestion. To collect samples of shellfish was necessary to establish thirteen sampling stations along Huarmey Bay Area. Seven of these stations were located north of Puerto Punta Lobitos six were located to the south. The year 2001 in Puerto Punta Lobitos occurred an accidental spill of copper concentrate into the sea. Analysis of variance was performed to compare the weight data of copper in relation to the size of the mollusk (II size> 40 mm and ≤ 40 mm Size I) and in relation to the dista...

The environmental recovery of coastal ecosystems is an environmental management initiative for consultation among the main actors in the development of a city. This work presents an environmental recovery proposal that includes certain management instruments, aimed at reversing the situation of environmental degradation of the coastal waters of Chancay Bay. Due to the importance of the town of Chancay at the regional level and due to the complexity of its environmental problems, this proposal constitutes an alternative of environmental management that can be taken into account in other coastal areas of our territory.

Concerns about environmental problems have increased considerably in recent times. Interest has been given at all levels of government, non-governmental organizations, scientific and technical groups, etc. due to the interrelation between the natural environment and the anthropic environment that are feasible to create risky contingencies. These are approached from three variables: the agent (nature and / or man), the time (before, during and after the event) and lastly, the effects it produces. From an environmental perspective, the industrialization of fishmeal has a significant impact on the ecosystem in which it operates, also affecting the well-being and health of people. This industry is an activity that generates foreign exchange, is a source of employment and contributes to the development of Peru, taking advantage of a resource that is relatively abundant in the Peruvian marine ...

The pollution of coastal waters of the Bay of Chancay caused by the discharge of industrial and urban runoff, has prompted the present investigation aimed to know the extent of contamination of coastal waters of the Bay of Chancay and Impacts, to propose recovery measures and environmental control. As a result of this investigation, it is known that seawater Chancay Bay presents values ​​that are well above current regulations (Water Act), leading in extreme cases to 0.00 ml / l dissolved oxygen, 120 mg / l BOD5, 0.00 bits / ind. diversity, among others, confirming a high pollution.

The city of Chimbote presents fishing as one of its main activities, which makes it consider one of the ports with the highest fishing production in Peru. Other activities are the steel industry, among others. These productive activities are leading this city to a deterioration of the environment, one of its causes being the application of inadequate technologies and the misuse of space. Ecological-economic zoning is considered as a planning instrument, which aims to promote the harmonious development of a territory. The present work proposes a methodology, which approximates the proposal of hierarchization of environmental variables, modified according to Etter, (1990) and consists of evaluating a certain situation, from studies of landscapes, plant associations, pedological studies and climatic, all of static type, without considering the evolution and the flows that define the structu...
