Disadvantages of environmental sustainability

Environmental sustainability is a topical issue that receives plenty of attention from the media and from different governmental departments. There are some disadvantages of environmental sustainability.

• Air pollution, water pollution and spreading diseases among people are main effect of the environmental in-sustainability. Different businesses are discharged the several different nitrates and sulphates, organic chemicals, metals, and dust and/or particles of soil. This matter leads air can direct to health problems in humans such as chronic and asthma.
• The areas are generally sparsely populated resulting in interventions being generally more expensive.

• There are security problems in many of the ASAL districts, so if the situation deteriorates, project achievements could be lost and plans abandoned. It can be difficult to get well-qualified outside people to work in these areas.This disadvantage of choosing not to take the journey can be substantial opportunity losses and the risk of being left behind by more competitors.

    

• The complexity of having a number of different interrelated project components can result in slow progress.

    

•   Requires development of markets/infrastructure.The investments in market infrastructure that will directly  by increasing productivity and improving incomes and profitability through diversification to high-value.

• Requires compromise and communication. When dealing with sustainability, clients have previously included a general requirement for projects to be 'sustainable' to their consultant teams. This provides an ill-defined requirement which is frequently interpreted by different team members in divergent ways to deliver value.
  

   

• In the short term may be less economically hence costly .
  Heating buildings can account for as much as 17% of total organizational energy costs. Simple measures can be taken to reduce these, such as draught-proofing doors and windows and insulating pipes to radiators. Buildings with high ceilings cost more to heat, so putting in a false ceiling reduces energy consumption. As with other measures a cost to benefit assessment needs to be calculated.

• Risks of over-exploitation 

• Requires intensive research and planning 

  

•       Nuclear energy and sustainable environment
         During normal operation nuclear energy has a low impact on health and the environment. In order to make a continuing contribution to sustainable development goals, nuclear energy will have to maintain its high standards of safety in spite of increasing competition in the electricity sector ageing reactors and the expansion of the industry to new countries and regions.

•       Requires the resolution of competing claims forests to forest lands through the institution of new laws and may require conflict  management mechanisms

•          May require politically unpopular land reform and accident is narrow space and difficult evacuation.Accidents such as collapse of tunnel natural disaster such as flood, fire,earthquake,explo

• Physical influence on people and traffic( Noise, dust, smell, vibration, ground settlement, traffic congestion  
•  Environmental Influence upon surrounding nature. ( Change in water level & quality, chemical reaction of reducing ground)    
• Developing and implementing a sustainability strategy can be a major undertaking requiring corporate focus, time, resources and commitment. 
• Using solar energy - Solar energy is useful when the sun shines but in the course of night these expensive solar equipements are useless. It is the drawback of using the solar energy for generating electricity and heat.
  
  It is another disadvantage of using solar energy in electricity generation, as solar equipements require large areas for installation, hence if the area is limited, it will create problems. As solar energy
  is diluted, it requires a lot of solar collectors for the purpose of storing solar energy effectively. Solar collectors are expensive and need a heavy maintanence for proper functioning.
