Pollution and threats to the environment

The EU has undergone a deep transformation in the last 25 years.

Episodes of air pollution throughout the 20th and 21st centuries have had a huge influence socially, economically and politically.

Public Archaeology and Climate Change promotes new approaches to studying and managing sites threatened by climate change, specifically actions that engage communities or employ ‘citizen science’ initiatives.

Fiacre Ryan's story to this point is utterly compelling.

Zeno Hintermeier is a scientist working as a travel guide on an Antarctic cruise ship, encouraging the wealthy to marvel at the least explored continent and to open their eyes to its rapid degradation.

The more we know about the catastrophic implications of climate change, the more fossil fuels we burn.

How will climate change affect our lives?

This book offers a multidisciplinary analysis of the degradation process of an ecosystem, drawing upon the Mar Menor as a case study to highlight the damage human pressure causes to the environment.

Is investing itself the problem?

Given Half a Chance is both a snapshot of our world and a call to arms, setting out the most pressing environmental challenges that we face while making a passionate case for why we need to meet them.

It is already clear that climate engineering raises numerous troubling ethical issues.

The ethics of climate governance is of critical importance to current debates in climate justice, yet until now it has been largely neglected.

There is a saying in Russian jails.

Within the contexts of the global warming crisis facing the world, climate change mitigation strategies must be developed with a deep understanding of the science behind the impact of climate change and adaptations that must be made.

Too often amongst policy makers and thought leaders an assumption is made that we must make a choice between tackling climate change and having a strong economy; tackling climate change and allowing poorer nations to develop; tackling climate change and having a secure energy system.

Negative environmental events make the headlines.

The concern over groundwater contamination has focused attention on the processes that influence the fate of chemicals in soil water systems.

Air Pollution Reviews will provide state-of-the-art reviews of key problems in air pollution science.

Air pollution damages materials, but it has changed dramatically in the past century, with a reduction in the concentration of corrosive primary pollutants in urban atmospheres.

Air pollution is a problem affecting every part of our planet however, its global effects are poorly understood.

Following the recognition that airborne particulate matter, even at quite modest concentrations, has an adverse effect on human health, there has been an intense research effort to understand the mechanisms and quantify the effects.

The Third Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has presented strong evidence that human-induced climate change is occurring and that all countries of the world will be affected and need to adapt to impacts.

"e;INFORMATIVE AND ORIGINAL"e; Guardian, 'This month's best paperbacks' We've become used to thinking of plants as things for us to use: as food, tools, resources, or just as an attractive background to our own lives.

As plants see it, humans are not the masters of the Earth but only one of its most unpleasant and irksome residents.

The UK has declared a 'climate emergency' and pledged to become carbon neutral by 2050.

Agricultural production is in a period of rapid transformation which has seen an increase in the use of biotechnology, synthetic chemistry, biological chemicals and biopesticides.

The estimated health impacts and associated economic costs resulting from airborne particulate matter are substantial.

Twenty years on from the first edition of Pollution and the topic remains high in the public awareness.

Understanding pollution, its behaviour and impact is becoming increasingly important, as new technologies and legislation continually lower the tolerable levels of pollutants released into the environment.

Medicines play an important role in the treatment and prevention of disease in humans and animals, but residues from these medicines can be released into the environment through a number of routes during their manufacture, use and disposal.

Forty years since the first UN Conference on the Human Environment was held in Stockholm, how has the situation changed?

Borne out of the current widespread interest in the pollution of water bodies, this book explores the latest research concerning the photochemical fate of organic pollutants in surface water.

It is generally accepted within the scientific community that anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases are primarily responsible for a recent warming in global climate and that current trajectories of emissions may lead to potentially catastrophic changes in climate.
