Pollution by R M Harrison Pdf

Pollution: Causes, Effects and Control is the fourth edition of a best-selling introductory level book dealing with chemical and radioactive pollution in its broadest sense. The scope of the book ranges from the sources of pollutants and their environmental behaviour, to their effects on human and non-human receptors, to the technologies and strategies available for control. The fourth edition has been wholly revised and updated from the previous edition due to the rapid pace of developments in this field. Topics covered include chemical pollution of freshwater and marine environments, drinking water quality, water pollution biology, sewage and its treatment, toxic wastes, air pollution and atmospheric chemistry, control of pollutant emissions, land contamination, solid waste management, clean technologies, persistent organic pollutants in the environment, environmental radioactivity, health effects of environmental chemicals, legal control of pollution and integrated pollution control. There is a completely new chapter on Clean Technologies and Industrial Ecology, reflecting the growing importance of pollution prevention as opposed to end-of-pipe solutions. Whilst originally intended as an introductory reference work for professionals within the field, the book has been widely adopted for teaching purposes at the undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Environmental Pollution: Causes, Effects and Control by Michelle Randall Pdf

Environmental pollution is caused when contaminants enter the natural environment and cause adverse changes. Pollution can be of different types, such as air pollution, soil pollution and water pollution, among others. Combustion, mining, warfare, construction and agriculture are the anthropogenic contributors of air pollution. Other sources and activities that prove hazardous to the environment include nuclear waste disposal, coal-powered petrochemical plants, heavy industries, burning of natural vegetation, use of pesticides and herbicides, etc. Pollution affects human health significantly and can lead to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, neurological problems, birth defects and cancers, besides others. The environmental effects of pollution include ocean acidification, biomagnification, occurrence of acid rain, global warming, biodiversity reduction, etc. The practices of recycling and reusing, use of compost, employing industrial wastewater treatment and sewage treatment are some of the effective techniques of controlling environmental pollution. This book unravels the recent studies in this field. Also included herein is a detailed explanation of the various causes, effects and control measures of environmental pollution. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.

Air Pollution by Pallavi Saxena,Vaishali Naik Pdf

Air pollution has become a major global issue due to rapid industrialization, human population growth and increasing urbanization. The various sources of atmospheric pollutants, both those created by human activity and those from natural physical and biological processes, have become the focus of much scientific research and analysis. An understanding of how these many pollutants are affecting air quality is essential in order to design strategies to mitigate them. Written by a team of international experts, this book aims to provide a broad overview of the issues surrounding air pollution and how to control and monitor pollution levels. Beginning with a brief background on the subject, the book moves on to discuss global emissions, with an emphasis on megacities and their effects. Possible pollution control measures and methods of air pollution measurement and modelling are also explored. The book ends with descriptions of the various indices used for assessing air quality with a focus on human health impacts, and a discussion on policy making to control air pollution. The book will be useful to students of environmental science and atmospheric science, as well as environmental consultants and researchers interested in air quality . Key Features: Comprehensive introduction to the primary causes of air pollution today with an emphasis on growing urban populations and megacities Discusses both anthropogenic and biogenic emissions and their effects on human health and the environment Gives an overview of indices used today for assessing air quality and describes current methods for air pollution monitoring and modelling Discusses new technologies for mitigating the effects of air pollution and policy making for implementation of controls

Environmental Pollution: Causes, Impacts and Management Techniques by Michelle Randall Pdf

Environmental pollution refers to the contamination of the natural environment due to the introduction of chemical substances or energy in the form of heat, noise or light. Such chemical and energy species, or pollutants, can be artificially produced or occur in nature. Environmental pollution can be classified as air pollution, water pollution, soil contamination, thermal pollution, noise pollution, radioactive contamination, etc. Motor vehicle emissions, nuclear waste disposal activity, petrochemical plants, burning of natural vegetation, use of pesticides and herbicides, nuclear waste disposal activity, etc. are primary causes of environmental pollution. Pollution is harmful to the environment and to humans in several ways. Adverse air and water quality can kill organisms and cause diseases, while mercury ingestion is associated with neurologic symptoms and developmental deficits in children. Through adroit pollution control measures, particularly by adopting the practices of reusing, recycling, composting and minimizing wastes, pollution can be effectively managed. This book covers in detail some existent theories and innovative concepts revolving around environmental pollution. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied causes, impacts and management techniques of environmental pollution. This book is a complete source of knowledge on the present status of this important field.
