R. M. Harrison

This volume examines the potential resource available from several waste streams. Opportunities for exploiting waste are discussed, along with their environmental and economic considerations.

Waste as a Resource

This book discusses marine pathogens, pollution, and toxic algal blooms and their impact on coastal ecosystems and human health.

Marine Pollution and Human Health

Robin Jon Hawes Clark

Advances in Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy

The book deals with the full range of waste management issues, including recycling and recovery of materials and design considerations for waste minimisation. In addition, the book also contains a wide variety of illustrative case studies. With detailed and comprehensive coverage of the subject matter, an extensive bibliography is provided with each chapter. Electronic Waste Management is essential reading for all involved with electrical and electronic waste management through its comprehensive review of recent EU legislation and the subsequent impact on manufacturers and users of electronic equipment.

Electronic Waste Management

With contributions from experts across the globe, this volume addresses some of the key concepts behind risk assessment of alternative chemicals.

Chemical Alternatives Assessments

Reports on methods of capturing and storing CO2 from major sources to reduce the levels emitted to the atmosphere by human activities.

Sequestration and Storage

Carbon Capture

Annotation While the enlarging hole in the Antarctic ozone layer is inherently a fascinating phenomena, we also need to understand the environmental hazard against which we are counting on stratospheric ozone to protect us: ultraviolet radiation. In six papers, contributors summarize what is known about the effects of the UV-B portion of the spectrum (e.g. on skin cancer), and assess future trends. Hester is a chemistry professor with the U. of York. Harrison is professor of environmental health at the U. of Birmingham. Distributed in the US by Springer-Verlag. Annotation c.
