Air Pollution and Health
Air Pollution and Health is the first fully comprehensive and current account of air pollution science and it impact on human health.
Environmental Pollution and Health
Pollution as we know is an undesirable change in the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the environment. Environmental Pollution and Health expounds the three main types of environmental pollution—air, water, and land—and their effects on human health. It also focuses on photochemical air pollution, marine pollution, thermal pollution, noise pollution, and radioactive pollution and their effects on human health.
An Introduction to Pollution Science
Introduction to Pollution Science draws and reflects the growing trend of a more sophisticated approach to teaching environmental science at university.
Marine Anthropogenic Litter
This book describes how man-made litter, primarily plastic, has spread into the remotest parts of the oceans and covers all aspects of this pollution problem from the impacts on wildlife and human health to socio-economic and political issues. Marine litter is a prime threat to marine wildlife, habitats and food webs worldwide.The book illustrates how advanced technologies from deep-sea research, microbiology and mathematic modelling as well as classic beach litter counts by volunteers contributed to the broad awareness of marine litter as a problem of global significance.
Noise Pollution : Sources, Effects on Workplace Productivity and Health Implications
Noise has been ranked high among forms of pollutions, which include air pollution, radioactive waste pollution, water pollutions, etc. In recent years, noise has received considerable worldwide attention as a result of the many studies linking noise pollution to various health effects that include auditory as well non-auditory health effects. It should be noted here that the effect of noise is ...
Pollution : Causes, Effects and Control
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.
Pollution Monitoring
The book presents topical research in the study of pollution monitoring. Topics discussed include environmental noise pollution modeling and health effects; radiocarbon and stable isotope analysis in tree rings to detect pollution effects; 7, 8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine as a bio-monitoring indicator for pollutants; freshwater pollution and biological water quality monitoring and microbial enzyme activities as indicators of the trophic state of marine ecosystems.
Sustainable Living with Environmental Risks
We are not free from environmental risks that accompany the development of human societies. Modern economic development has accelerated environmental pollution, caused loss of natural habitats, and modified landscapes. These environmental changes have impacted natural systems: water and heat circulation, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity. These changes in natural systems degrade ecosystem services and subsequently increase environmental risks for humans.
