The past two decades have seen a remarkable broadening of interest in global warming from a research concern on the part of a limited number of scientists to a political problem on a worldwide scale.
This series is dedicated to serving the growing community of scholars and practitioners concerned with the principles and applications of environmental management.
In order to provide meaningful information for evaluating environmental consequences of alternative control strategies of air pollutant emissions, scientists have recently initiated numerous studies aiming at collecting and making use of regional data.
In regard to global change, emphasis is generally placed on the increase in global temperature, but large changes in the distribution of precipitation are also likely to occur.
Presented here are authoritative and up-to-date assessments of the homogenous and heterogenous chemical and physical processes occuring in the troposphere and stratosphere, especially during the "e;ozone hole"e; event.
Das vorliegende Buch Krisenmanagement bei Störfällen gibt eine umfassende Charakterisierung des Problemkreises industrieller Störfälle und deren Kontrolle durch Managementkonzepte.
In this publication you will find a comprehensive data set of the North Sea ecosystem, including the distribution and the fate of contaminants, their transport paths and their analysis by means of numerical models.
Bivalve filter-feeding mollusks are important components of coastal ecosystems because they remove large quantities of suspended material from the water and excrete abundant amounts of reactive nutrients.
A year has passed since Eshel Bresler, my good friend and colleague, and a member of the editorial board of the Advanced Series in Agricultural Sciences, died suddenly while on a visit to the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing.
Experts in soil and environmental sciences as well as in the theory of wave propagation and numerical modeling methods provide a comprehensive account of different aspects of pollutant migration in soils, aquifers, and other geological formations.
Defining ecology as a system-theory oriented synthesis ofboth earth and life sciences, the book aims at a novel co-herent understanding of chemicalimpact on the lower at-mosphere and characteristic types of terrestrial ecosystems.
Presented here is an account of industrial and general air pollution problems in view of air quality management, community and industrial health aspects, emission inventorying, emission and air quality measurement techniques, dispersion phenomena and control technologies.
Die Datenmengen, die bei der Modellierung, der Simulation und der Überwachung von Umweltprozessen anfallen, sind heute schon so groß, daß sie nur noch mit Supercomputersystemen in verantwortbaren Zeiten sinnvoll bearbeitet werden können.
The new field of applied genetic research, genetic toxicology and mutation research investigates the muta- genicity and cancerogenicity of chemicals and other agents.
The new field of applied genetic research, genetic toxicology and mutation research investigates the mutagenicity and cancerogenicity of chemicals and other agents.
Volume 5 presents a detailed survey of the synthesis of pyrethroids and of almost every of the respective patent applications for synthetic pyrethroid active ingredients.
Environments at Risk is designed as an introductory text and uses case histories of environmental impact assessment to raise issues important in controlling environmental problems.
A massive phytoplankton bloom, locally termed "e;brown tide"e;, suddenly appeared in Long Island marine bays in 1985, colored the water a dark brown, decimated eelgrass beds and caused catastrophic starvation and recruitment failure of commercially important bay scallop populations.
In 1977, the Volkswagen Foundation sponsored the first of a series of International Symposia on Fire Ecology at Freiburg University, Federal Republic of Germany.
All over the world, the awareness of the increasing pollution of rivers, estuaries and the sea with its associated impact on these ecosystems, its effect on organisms, food-chains, water supply and finally on man himself is growing.
