This volume discusses hazardous environmental micropollutants, their impacts on human health, and possible means to mitigate their associated risks. The book features chapters that cover a variety of topics related to environmental micropollutants, which include dusts, infectious particles, heavy metals, organophosphates, atmospheric toxic organic micropollutants, fungal spores, pollutants from E-waste, antibiotic waste, and more. In addition impacts on human health and the environment, economic issues are addressed, with potential policy solutions offered. This work is timely, as hazardous micropollutants in soil, water and air are becoming more common, and this environmental contamination is leading to increasing instances of suboptimal human health outcomes. The book will be of interest to students and researchers in environmental pollution and remediation technology, microbiologists, and environmental regulators.

This book is a detailed guide for the analysis and design of the actual existing high rise fire damaged buildings. The design of high building for gravity and seismic loading is a common practice for the structural engineers. But when it comes to analysis and design of the fire damaged buildings, these consulting companies find difficulties and they look for the foreign consultants for the design of such fire damaged buildings especially in the developing countries. Fire damages in buildings due to explosion, accidents or by some other reasons cause a lot of casualties and structural damage. Analytical, theoretical and design-cum-construction techniques are constantly being reviewed by government agencies and engineering consultants. Many researchers are doing research on fire retrofitting of high rise buildings. This book is an outcome of a detail research study. It covers review of existing knowledge for fire damages and their mitigation and protective design technologies, analytical and computational techniques. In this book ETABS is used as software for analysis and UBC 97 is used as a code for the analysis and design.
