Abstract : Evaluation of the Environmental Awareness in the Different Types of Metal Finishing in Alexandria Magda M. Mohamed Olfat D. EL-Sebaie Mamduh A. EL-Messiery Mohamed H. Ramadan Environmental Health Dept., High Institute of Public Health, Alexandria University Publisher: Bulletin of High Institute of Public Health, 2002, Vol. (32) No(3): 581-592. Abstract: The metal finishing process involves the consumption and utilization of different raw materials which are highly toxic and dangerous to working labor. The aim of the present work is to provide the basic information needed about the environmental awareness of the metal finishing activity. The highest number of metal finishing industries [107] has been found in the central district. Painting enterprises represented the highest percentage [68%]. Most of the surveyed industries [97.8%] belonged to the private sector. The highest percentage [87.8%] represented the small size. All the metal finishing factories discharge its wastewater effluents into Alexandria combined sewer system. The results of analysis reports available indicated that 95% of electroplating and 62% of galvanizing were in compliance with regulation. The surveyed anodizing shop was renegade firm while no analysis has been done by painters. Most of the factories [all electroplating, all painting, and 75% of galvanizing] did not install any treatment unit. However, the factories which apply treated units generate hazardous sludge that handled as domestic refuse or disposed into the nearest dumping area. The evaluation of the existing environmental situation in metal finishing enterprises in Alexandria shows that hazardous effects are nor considered. The study gave some recommendations which can be followed to overcome the hazards generated by metal finishing industries.
