Preparedness of European Countries in Terms of Marine Pollution by Hazardous and Noxious Substances

Öz

Various pollutants cause marine pollution which produces multi-layered problems. Besides other hazardous substances, pollution from hazardous and noxious substances (HNS) threat marine ecosystems seriously. Therefore, prevention and emergency response to this kind of pollution become important. The aim of this study is to determine the preparedness and capability of European countries in case of marine pollution caused by HNS. In this context, emergency response plans of the countries were investigated, the data presented via tables and a comparative view was provided.

Avrupa Ülkelerinin Tehlikeli ve Zararlı Kimyasal Maddelerden Kaynaklı Deniz Kirliliğine Hazırlıklı Olma Durumları

Öz

Deniz kaynaklarının çeşitli kirletici maddelerle kirletilmesi çok katmanlı sorunlar ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Diğer zararlı maddelerin yanı sıra, tehlikeli ve zararlı kimyasal maddelerden (TZKM) kaynaklanan kirlilikler deniz ekosistemlerini ciddi biçimde tehdit etmektedir. Bu nedenle, bu tür kirliliklerin önlenmesi ve acil müdahale yöntemleri önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Avrupa ülkelerinin TZKM kaynaklı deniz kirliliği durumlarında mevcut acil müdahale konusundaki yeterliliklerinin belirlenmesidir. Bu kapsamda, ülkelerin acil müdahale planları ile ilgili doküman incelemesi yapılmıştır. Ülkelerin TZKM kirlilikleri ile mücadele durumları ile ilgili elde edilen veriler tablolaştırılmış ve karşılaştırmalı bir bakış sağlanmıştır.
