This book underscores the re-emergence of the ozone hole problem
and deals with it in its current context of exacerbating global
warming. It traces the history of the ozone hole from the stage of
formation of the stratospheric ozone 'layer', millions of years
ago, into the late 20th century when the anthropogenic destruction
of that ozone was discovered. The chapters are written to bring the
the reader up to the present day. Factors that influence
stratospheric ozone are discussed and the ways to halt ozone
depletion are cataloged. And more complex interrelationships are
being discovered between ozone depletion and two other global
concerns: climate change and ocean acidification. This book sheds
light on the intricacy of the situation and its portants. The book
will be useful to students and researchers looking for a current
overview of the ozone hole problem.
This book covers water quality indices (WQI) in depth - it
describes what purpose they serve, how they are generated, what are
their strengths and weaknesses, and how to make the best use of
them. It is a concise and unique guide to WQIs for chemists,
chemical/environmental engineers and government officials. Whereas
it is easy to express the quantity of water, it is very difficult
to express its quality because a large number of variables
determine the water quality. WQIs seek to resolve the difficulty by
translating a set of a large number of variables to a one-digit or
a two-digit numeral. They are essential in communicating the status
of different water resources in terms of water quality and the
impact of various factors on it to policy makers, service
personnel, and the lay public. Further they are exceedingly useful
in the monitoring and management of water quality. With the
importance of water and water quality increasing exponentially, the
importance of this topic is also set to increase enormously because
only with the use of indices is it possible to assess, express,
communicate, and monitor the overall quality of any water source.
This book comprises selected papers on advances in the field of
health and environment safety that were presented at the
International Conference on Advances in the field of Health,
Safety, Fire, Environment, Allied sciences and engineering (HSFEA
2020). This book presents a number of research papers which focuses
on basic concept of sustainable development and its role in modern
world for clean development technology. The book also presents
methods that can be used to effectively monitor and measure climate
change and global warming. Further, the contents of this work
stress the importance of maintaining safety and healthy work
environments that are free of occupational health hazards. This
book will be of interest to researchers, professionals, and policy
makers alike.

In recent years, the importance of biogas energy has risen manifold
and has become universal. This is due to the realization that
biogas capture and utilization has great potential in controlling
global warming. By capturing biogas wherever it is formed, we not
only tap a source of clean energy, but we also prevent the escape
of methane to the atmosphere. Given that methane has 25 times
greater global warming potential than CO2, methane capture through
biogas energy in this manner can contribute substantially towards
global warming control.
Current Concerns in Environmental Engineering is a treatment of 15
topics of great contemporary relevance by bestselling author S. A.
Abbasi. Each topic is covered from its basics to its global
application in a highly concise and compact yet exceedingly clear
and lucid style. The coverage has a wide sweep, reflective of the
great diversity and complexity of challenges presently faced by the
Earths environment. Some of the biggest existence-threatening
questions are also addressed in this book -- for example: Is
renewable energy as safe for the world as is believed? Can
technology make the present paradigm of development sustainable?
Will a shift to renewables halt global warming? Is fossil fuel
decarburization really workable? Current Concerns in Environmental
Engineering would enhance the comprehension of undergraduate and
graduate students while giving them a worldview that formal
textbooks generally fail to do. The book will be exceedingly useful
to teachers and researchers due to the fresh insights it can give
and the innovative thinking it can stimulate. The book is profusely
illustrated with dramatic as well as aesthetically pleasing
visuals. Besides capturing the interest of the reader the visuals
also enhance the readers comprehension and appreciation of the
text.
In recognition of the all-pervasive role global warming - and the
related phenomena of ozone hole, ocean acidification, and acid rain
- are set to play in the affairs of the world, these topics have
been given a strong emphasis in the undergraduate and graduate
degree courses all over the world. This book is one of the outcomes
of the authors' curriculum-development efforts on the subject of
global warming. Besides giving a comprehensive coverage to the
general state-of-the-art, the book specifically dwells upon the
highly debated issue of the contribution of wetlands to global
warming. Besides students the book will be invaluable for teachers,
researchers, industrial professionals, and all those who have
stakes in global warming control.
This book presents in graphic detail what is arguably the
first-ever regional environmental impact assessment and risk
assessment done in India, perhaps the first-ever of its kind in the
third world. More importantly the book is archetypal; its utility
value and message goes well beyond its immediate context because
the story of the Manali Industrial Complex that it narrates can
very easily be a story of any other industrial cluster in the third
world.
