'The river Rhine, it is well known, Doth wash your city of Cologne;
Butteil me, Nymphs, what power divine Shall henceforth wash the
river Rhine?' The above strophe, composed by Samuel Taylor
Coleridge early last century, shows that interest in environmental
problems (in this case, the self-cleansing property of water) is
not just something new, but was also present in the past. The
reader may wonder, after this poetic contribution which is still
very relevant, if there is any need to compile a book which handles
environmental problems in a much less prosaic, i. e. scientific,
way. It is my firm beliefthat present environmental problems,
because of both s i z e and in t e n s y, i t deserve our profound
attention. This concern will have to be shown not only by those
directly involved, viz. the 'man in the street', but also by the
authorities as well as by scientists. In view also of the social
relevance of the environmental question, science may not be
impartial but must make a (modest) attempt to analyse, explain and
solve the present environmental question systematically.
