Introduction • The Strategic Action Program (SAP) • Land-Based Sources (LBS) and activities • MED-POL ( (Mediterranean Pollution)
Objectives 1. Preparation of a comprehensive inventory of the existing industry 2. Classification of the industries into sectors 3. Identification of the potential industrial sources of each pollutant targeted by the SAP and quantification/estimation of their emissions/releases 4. Calculation of the national Baseline Budget for 2003
Classification of Industries in Gaza Strip • Classification according to the hazards arising: • 1. Class A (least toxic waste) • 2. Class B (medium toxic waste) • 3. Class C (most toxic waste)
Distribution of industrial installation Distribution of industrial installation over the Gaza Strip 1000 Number of installations 800 Class A 600 Class B 400 Class C 200 0 Gaza Khan Middle North Gaza Rafah Grand Younes Total Governorate
Baseline budget calculation • Industrial, storm water runoff and domestic activities are the major sources of marine pollution in Gaza strip • Limited researches and monitoring programs were conducted by several institutions to assess the extent of coastal pollution • The assessment based on collection and assessment of existing data rather than the generation of new analytical data
Proposed activities designed to: • Identification of major Land-Based Sources (LBS) at the Gaza regional level • Identification Pollutants and waste sources considered in the estimate of annual pollution loads in the Mediterranean from LBS • Estimated annual pollution loads of the Mediterranean from LBS Identification of LBS priority Monitoring • programs • Identification of LBS priority Monitoring Parameters
Major sources of LBS at the Gaza regional level • Domestic sewage • Industrial wastewater • Stream water run-off • Loads carried by Wadi Gaza
Pollutants and waste sources considered from land-based sources + Included in the pollution load assessment - Disregarded due to insignificance or uncertainty of estimate

Estimated annual pollution loads of the Mediterranean from land-based sources - Pollutant contributions from this source are disregarded due to lack of data for calculation or estimation

General Remarks • Annual total hydraulic loading of different sources is 62.3 million cubic meters. Contributions of domestic waste discharge of organic mater measured as BOD5 and COD presented about 80% of the total organic loading to the Mediterranean. • The estimated total N flux is 1183 tons/year, and domestic discharges account for 98% of total N flux. • Phosphorus flux is 218 tons/year. Domestic discharges account for 95% of total flux.
General Remarks • About 95% of the total heavy metals releases targeted by SAP accounted to the domestic discharge. • Monitoring data are not available on fluxes of Persistent organic pollutants, Organometal compounds, Organohalogen Compounds, and Hazardous Wastes. • Data on the raw material used in the industrial facility and production quantities are not available in the local level. • So, BB of releases for these pollutants and wastes targeted by SAP could be not calculated based on the software provide for this purpose from MED/SAP.
