Technikpolitik Angesichts Der Umweltkatastrophe (German, Paperback): Helmar Krupp Technikpolitik Angesichts Der Umweltkatastrophe (German, Paperback)
Helmar Krupp
R1,553 Discovery Miles 15 530 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Etwa 70 Fachleute aus Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Politik diskutierten im Dezember 1989 auf einem Seminar der WE Heraeus-Stiftung die "Optionen und Prioritaten kunftiger Forschungs- und Technologiepolitik". Angesichts der drohenden globalen Klimaveranderungen und anderer Umweltprobleme ging es vor allem um eine okologisch orientierte Forschungs- und Technikpolitik, die unsere Zukunft langfristig sichert. Diese Politik muss folgende Kriterien erfullen: - Weite Zeithorizonte (100 Jahre), - Weltsolidaritat (Nord/Sud-Lander), - moglichst kleine Risiken fur die Bevolkerung (z.B. Radioaktivitat), - Wohlfahrts- statt Wirtschaftswachstum. In dem hier vorgelegten Tagungsbericht hat Prof.Dr. Helmar Krupp als wissenschaftlicher Leiter des Seminars die Referate und Diskussionsergebnisse zusammengestellt. Der Bericht gibt einen reprasentativen Uberblick uber den internationalen Stand der Forschungs- und Technikpolitik und skizziert anhand konkreter Beispiele die kunftigen Anforderungen an diese Politik.

Capturing Carbon - The New Weapon in the War Against Climate Change (Paperback): Robin M. Mills Capturing Carbon - The New Weapon in the War Against Climate Change (Paperback)
Robin M. Mills
R977 Discovery Miles 9 770 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

A new weapon is emerging to help us fight climate change. It is becoming feasible to take carbon dioxide from power stations and industry, and lock it away safely before it can enter the atmosphere. In the next few years, major demonstration programmes will start up in the USA, EU and elsewhere. But can carbon capture compete with other low-carbon technologies, is it safe and environmentally-friendly, and will people and governments accept it? "Capturing Carbon" examines the need for carbon capture, and the technologies, existing and emerging, that make it work. It describes geological storage and, uniquely, compares it to biological carbon sequestration in soils and forests. It looks at the costs, the economics, and how big a contribution carbon capture can make to avoiding dangerous climate change. It covers the policies that need to be in place, the public reaction, and the opportunities for business. Finally, it gives a hard-headed description of the risks of carbon capture projects. The book is the first comprehensive yet accessible study of the subject. It is a vital resource for environmentalists, policy-makers, investors, academics, industry specialists and anyone else wishing to understand this fast-moving field.

The chemical aspects of environmental pollutants have therefore begun to take on great significance. The Chemistry of Pollution provides an excellent overview of the important chemical aspects of pollution occurring in the atmosphere, in water and in soil. Presented in the book are:

  • commonly known harmful substances, such as carbon monoxide, heavy metals, and sulfur dioxide
  • toxins in food and basic consumer goods
  • radioisotopes, such as plutonium and uranium.
The multiplicity of environmental problems is demonstrated through the use of examples showing their relation to biochemical processes, toxicology, climate, ecological aspects and other adjacent sciences. This book is not only for students of chemistry, but is also an ideal reference book for those interested in the chemical principles of environmental pollutants.

Toxic Matters - Narrating Italy's Dioxin (Paperback): Monica Seger Toxic Matters - Narrating Italy's Dioxin (Paperback)
Monica Seger
R1,026 Discovery Miles 10 260 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

In Toxic Matters, Monica Seger considers two Italian environmental disasters: an isolated factory explosion in Seveso, just north of Milan, in 1976 and the ongoing daily toxic emissions from the Ilva steelworks in the Apulian city of Taranto. Both have exposed residents to high concentrations of the persistent organic pollutant known as dioxin. Although different in terms of geography and temporality, Seveso and Taranto are deeply united by this nearly imperceptible substance, and by the representational complexities it poses. They are also united by creative narrative expressions, in literary, cinematic, and other forms, that push back against dominant contexts and representations perpetuated by state and industrial actors.Seger traces a dialogue between Seveso and Taranto, exploring an interplay between bodies, soil, industrial emissions, and the wealth of dynamic particulate matter that passes in between. At the same time, she emphasizes the crucial function of narrative expression for making sense of this modern-day reality and for shifting existing power dynamics as exposed communities exercise their voices. While Toxic Matters, is grounded in Italian cases and texts, it looks outward to the pressing questions of toxicity, embodiment, and storytelling faced by communities worldwide.

Plastic pollution has been a growing concern globally, especially under the COVID-19 pandemic due to the use of personal protective equipment. While many engineers and environmental scientists have been addressing global plastic pollution, special attention must also be paid to smaller plastics such as micro- and nano-plastics. These smaller plastics pollute and affect the health of the public, environment, and marine life. Risk assessment of plastics is required to evaluate currently available treatment technologies and identify the significance of plastic pollution. Assessing the Effects of Emerging Plastics on the Environment and Public Health assesses the harmful effects of plastics on the environment and public health. It evaluates the potential risks of micro- and nano-plastics and reviews applications of modeling tools and prevention approaches using technologies to minimize plastic pollution through the development of biodegradable plastics or recycling and reusing plastics in environmentally friendly ways. Covering topics such as agroecosystems, preventive measures, and bioplastics, this book is an indispensable resource for environmentalists, environmental engineers, government officials, libraries, business leaders, students and educators of higher education, academicians, and researchers.

R4,186 Discovery Miles 41 860 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Pollution and ways to combat it have become topics of great concern for researchers. One of the most important dimensions of this global crisis is wastewater, which can often become contaminated with heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and arsenic, which are released from different industrial wastes, mines, and agricultural runoff. Bioremediation of such heavy metals has been extensively studied using different groups of bacteria, fungi, and algae, and has been considered as a safer, eco-friendly, and cost-effective option for mitigation of contaminated wasteland. The toxicity of water impacts all of society, and so it is of great importance that we understand the better, cleaner, and more efficient ways of treating water. Recent Advancements in Bioremediation of Metal Contaminants is a pivotal reference source that explores bioremediation of pollutants from industrial wastes and examines the role of diverse forms of microbes in bioremediation of wastewater. Covering a broad range of topics including microorganism tolerance, phytoremediation, and fungi, the role of different extremophiles and biofilms in bioremediation are also discussed. This book is ideally designed for environmentalists, engineers, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and students in the fields of microbiology, toxicology, environmental chemistry, and soil and water science.
