Many environmental problems resulting from atmospheric, land and
water pollution are now widely understood. The combination of both
improved technology and legislative pressure has led to a reduction
in pollution from industrial practices in the West in recent years.
However, sustainable development is dependent upon a new approach
to environmental protection - clean technology. This book is in two
parts. The first explores the ecological principles governing the
function of ecosystems, sustain ability and biodiversity (Chapter
1) and the problems resulting from atmospheric pollution (Chapter
2), water pollution (Chapter 3) and land pollution (Chapter 4). For
example, there is increasing international concern that the
combustion of fossil fuels is leading to an increase in the levels
of carbon, sulphur and nitrogen gases which pollute the atmosphere
of our planet. The enhanced levels of carbon gases such as carbon
dioxide may cause change in our global climate and, in tum, lead to
flooding and loss of low-lying coastal regions. In addition, the
deposition of sulphur and nitrogen oxides is believed to be the
cause of 'acid rain' which has led to loss of fish stocks from
upland lochs and damage to forestry plantations.
