Managing solid waste is one of the biggest challenges in urban
areas around the world. Technologically advanced economies generate
vast amounts of organic waste materials, many of which are disposed
of in landfills. In the future, efficient use of carbon-containing
waste and all other waste materials must be increased to reduce the
need for virgin raw materials acquisition, including biomass, and
reduce carbon emissions to the atmosphere, mitigating climate
change. Moreover, expeditious development in information and
communications technology (ICT) has made the machines more powerful
and efficient, but at the same time, there is a simultaneous
decrease in product life leading to an extensive rise in the annual
production of e-waste, or electronic waste. Considering the health
hazards and environmental implications of e-waste, it has become a
global problem that needs serious attention. Safe Disposal Methods
of Municipal Solid Wastes for a Sustainable Environment covers
waste management principles and strategies in different fields and
corresponding applications. The book also focuses on the waste
management strategies for a sustainable environment that have
emerged. Covering key topics such as waste, energy, and recycling,
this premier reference source is an excellent resource for
environmentalists, government officials, researchers, scholars,
academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
This edited book provides a comprehensive and a reliable source of
information on all major areas of diatom research. It addresses
research advances in the key areas of diatom biology, morphology,
systematics, phylogeny and ecology along with their
interdisciplinary applications. Diatoms are the world's most
diverse group of algae populating the freshwater and marine
ecosystems of the world. They are unicellular, photosynthetic,
eukaryotes having ornate silicified cell walls. Diatoms contribute
around 25% of annual global carbon fixation, which is more than all
of the terrestrial rainforests combined. Diatoms underpin major
aquatic food webs and drive global biogeochemical cycles and have
several ecological and interdisciplinary applications. This book
targets a wide range of audience including researchers,
academicians, teachers and students of varied disciplines such as
biology, environmental sciences, ecology, evolution, nanotechnology
and other related disciplines. It is useful read for beginners as
well as advanced researchers.
