The objective of this article is to present the results of the research study carried out at the Research Institute of the Faculty of Geological, Mining, Metallurgical and Geographical Engineering of the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos in 2004 and compare them with the data. from 2004 to 2007 provided by Cormín Callao - Depósito de Concentrados. The comparison is made in order to determine if the environmental management actions incorporated in the years 2005, 2006 and 2007 are giving results. The data that is compared corresponds to the main indicator such as the particulate material less than 10 microns: PM10. It is proposed to update the environmental management with the consequent improvement in the quality of life in the area around the Callao concentrate tanks, establishing adequate environmental management that includes corrective actions defined based on the situationa...

The research study propose the environmentalmanagement of the tourist activities in the upper side of the Uctubamba river, located in the provinces of Luya and Bongará, Amazon Region, specifically, for the tourist destinations of the Kuelap’s Fortress and the Gocta’sWaterfall. The main objectiveswere to proceed with the environmental diagnosis in the tourist destinations of Kuelap’s Fortress and the Gocta’s Waterfall, identifying theenvironmental impacts due to tourism, and finally present an Environmental Management Plan. Among the main proposals of environmental management are included the implementation of suggested environmental policy, the soil quality’s management and the archeologist and tourists’ resources.

This paper presents the main results of a thesis to obtain the degree of Geographical Engineer. The hospitals generate thousand of tones of waste per year. This waste has a great complexity because they come from toxic, radioactive and infectious materials apart from common wastes. The quantity of this waste is increasing along with the development of our country and there is a public concern related to the impacts on health of a bad dispose of hospital wastes. The main objective of the thesis is proposing a good management of hospital wastes taking into consideration the source and the final disposal. It focuses on the correct classification of the wastes because this reduces the impact. This environmental management has to accomplish the technical normative of our country and takes international experiences that can be applied to the Cayetano Heredia Hospital in Lima and would improve ...

This paper is a summary of a thesis to get the professional title of Geographical Engineer. The burning of sugar cane is the major source of pollution in the district of Laredo and surrounding areas. This burning is done before harvest where the leaves are burned, it is done to ensure control of pests and reduce harvesting costs, while the one made after the harvest which is burned in the bag of the cane and the remaining green leaves can eliminate waste and accelerate land preparation and replanting. When cane burning is taking place, pollution occurs in form of shower of particles and fly ash together with no visible smoke and gases. Those most affected are housewives, dirty as these fly ash floors, household goods and clothes placed on clotheslines.

Knowledge of the aquatic environment, as well as the main sources of contamination, its transport, its transfer and bioaccumulation are necessary for an adequate evaluation of the degree of contamination of the waters of the Rímac River and its effects on hydrobiological resources and human health. The waters of the Rímac River are mainly contaminated by residues from the mining-metallurgical industry, domestic waste from the centers located on its banks, industrial and agricultural waste. Likewise, the growing requirement for drinking water to supply the population of Lima and Callao, for agriculture and energy generation, makes it necessary to carry out studies on the quality of water and its effects on hydrobiological resources and human health.

Ferrol Bay is considered one of the most polluted areas of the Peruvian coast, mainly due to the residues of the industrial fishing and iron and steel industry. Added to this are domestic waste, oil spills caused during loading and unloading operations and the activities of the port, causing a deterioration of recreational beaches, affecting fishing resources and human health. Anoxic conditions were observed in the bay of Ferrol in the spring of 1994 and the summer of 1966, with an average dissolved oxygen of 0.20 and 0.18 ml / l, respectively. The most contaminated area is the one located near the liquid effluent discharges of Petro Perú - Pesca Perú, with values ​​greater than 250 mg / l of DB05, 0.00 ml / l of dissolved oxygen, temperature of 18.00 ° C and very low chlorophyll "a" values, in the winter of 1998. The El Niño phenomenon 1997-98 had great negative effects on the m...

The Institute of Investigation magazine IIGEO, from the beginning, is dealing with relevant subjects in mining, the environment and sustainable development. Its incorporation as virtual magazine into the system of libraries (SISBIB) allowed to spread it over a large number of visitors. Subsequently, the magazine was entered into the Indexed Bases like LATINDEC and SCIELO PERU, achieving a major virtual presence in internet. In recent years, we worked for sharing OJS Base (Open Journal System). This initiative is promoted by the UNMSM Vice Rector of investigation in order to incorporate the university institutes of investigationpublications. IIGEO is considered among the best UNMSM virtual magazines like Annals of Medicine (Anales de Medicina), Biological Peruvian Magazine (Revista Peruana de Biología) and Peruvian Investigations of Veterinary Magazine (Revista de Investigaciones Peruana...
