Most publications on heavy metals and the environment have focused
on environmental pathways and risks. The present book establishes a
link between the environmental risks of heavy metals and the
societal causes of the risks. Economic models, substance flow
models and environmental fate and risk assessment models have been
integrated into a single analytical framework that has been used to
trace and understand the routes by which four heavy metals enter
the economy, through to their final destination in the environment.
The long-term impacts of the current metals management regime in
the Netherlands have been used as a case study by which to assess
the effectiveness of certain policy measures. Readership:
Environmental scientists, especially those practising in the areas
of ecological economics, industrial ecology, materials flow
accounting and integrated environmental assessment. Environmental
policy makers will also find the book an invaluable aid in their
deliberations.
