The policy has discussed the issue of contamination as a whole, it should be more specific about the threats posed by different types of chemicals, organic materials or other dangerous materials and in a broad perspective and compare these problems with one another in order to justify which is a bigger threat and which is considered a nominal threat, in this regard the policymakers should have given more info on the most common types of hazardous materials which pollute the land, and then compare them with one another to justify to the reader about which is the bigger threat comparable to other threats
The main emphasis of the policy is to remediate the land affected by contamination in a sense that only if there is something new being developed in the proposed land,
"Close co-ordination between planning authorities, transport authorities and pollution control regulators is essential to meet the common objective that where development takes place, it is sustainable (cited from pps23 planning and pollution control)."
Many people may get a sense that remediation will only be applied where the economic interest lies of firms or powerful individuals and that if there is no economic or other beneficiary interest then the policy may not apply, this thought should be properly addressed
"Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 came into force in England in 2000.
Its main aim is to help address the problem of historical contamination of land and the risks it can pose to people's...
It requires that local authorities identify contaminated land and ensure that significant risks are dealt with. (cited from Guidance on the Legal Definition of Contaminated Land)"
Part 2A properly states that it is the interest of the government to remediate the land regardless of any interest from an economic point-of-view. It should be more precise to the people that their lives, properties are more valuable to the government and help would be provided to them even to an individual basis if the person is suffering form the contamination.
Finally, more coordination from top to bottom level is required to deal with these types of problems; the policy should give more authority to the persons in charge of the cleanup operations so that they may be facilitated with their work especially in the time of emergency.

Sustainable tourism does not destroy the environment, economy, or cultural aspects of the tourist destination (David Vaughan, 2000). Sustainable tourism is aimed at ensuring that those concerned are not affected in any way and that a positive development is realized through it. Back in the 1980s, ecotourism which consisted of activities such as wildlife exotic cultures and nature, became more common with remarkably few people understanding what the impacts of
International Regulation of Tourism in Antarctica Since the mid-1980s, Antarctica has been an increasingly popular tourist destination, despite the relative danger of visiting the largest, least explored -- and arguably least understood -- continent on earth. Beginning with the 1959 treaty establishing Antarctica as an international zone free of claims of sovereignty by nation's that had been instrumental in establishing research stations there, there has been almost constant negotiation about how
Given water scarcity, the high costs of desalinisation and other unconventional methods of supplying water, and the pollution of surface and ground waters, Israel sought other natural supplies of water from the Litani" (Dolatyar, 2002).

New scholarship suggests that Byzantine Empire was as successful as was Rome in shaping modern Europe (Angelov, 2001). Islamic Golden Age The Islamic Golden Age (also called the Caliphate of Islam or the Islamic Renaissance) was a center of government and political, cultural and religious traditions that arose in the early 6th century AD from the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed and reached its height between the 8th to 13th centuries
But neophytes should not attempt to do this. Halved coconuts can be dried in one of two ways. The first is by letting them dry by the heat of the sun, which takes a longer time. The other and faster way is by heating them. A bamboo house or shack without walls is built at about 3 feet above the ground. It has only a roof and a floor.
