Pollution control

This book contains the results and conclusions of extensive research on the causes and effects of acidification of forests/forest soils and heathland in the Netherlands.

A large number of nationwide research programmes in the field of acidification have been carried out in the last decade.

The vehicle for hire (VFH) market - broadly comprising taxis, limousines, and app-based transport - has faced multiple and significant changes over the years, with the period since 2010 a time of major upheaval.

This is a much revised and expanded version of the author's previous book Principles of Environmental Science (1988), also published by Elsevier.

While extensive research has been performed on many technological aspects of permeable reactive barriers and a number of contaminants have so far been successfully treated by PRB systems, long-term performance has not been extensively considered and little is known about the processes influencing long-term behaviour.

Over the last century and a half, groundwaters have become contaminated by a growing number of organic and inorganic substances ranging from petroleum-derived hydrocarbons to radioactive compounds, to cancer-causing hexavalent chromium.

Beneficial properties of graphitic carbon nitride (gCN) have been discovered in recent years during the promotion of its visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity for water splitting.

This reference book explores the multifaceted problem of heavy metal contamination in the environment.

This book highlights the characteristics, aims, and applications of microorganisms as a crucial solution for sustainable management of the toxic pollutants in aquatic ecosystems, soil, and air.

Die Faszination des Waldes erleben und weitergeben – doch wie gelingt das auf nachhaltige und inspirierende Weise?

The Handbook of Air Pollution Prevention and Control provides a concise overview of the latest technologies for managing industrial air pollution in petrochemical, oil and gas, and allied industries.

Safe and Sustainable Arctic Shipping Management and Development presents insight into what is happening currently in the Arctic in shipping and natural resource exploration.

Environmental pollution as a consequence of diverse human activities has become a global concern.

Environmental and Pollution Science, Second Edition, provides the latest information on the environmental influence of a significant number of subjects, and discusses their impact on a new generation of students.

Consequences of Maritime Critical Infrastructures Accidents presents a probabilistic general model of critical infrastructure accident consequences.

The Handbook of Chemical Technology and Pollution Control, Third Edition provides a detailed review of the chemistry and operating conditions of many of the present large-scale chemical processes important to our economy and high standards of living.

Negative Emissions Technologies for Climate Change Mitigation provides a comprehensive introduction to the full range of technologies that are being researched, developed and deployed in order to transition from our current energy system, dominated by fossil fuels, to a negative-carbon emissions system.

Taking the reader through the history of industrial waste treatment and directing them toward a new path of best practice, Industrial Waste Treatment illustrates how current treatment techniques are affected by regulatory and economic constraints, scientific knowledge and tolerances.

This book will benefit users in food security, agriculture, water management, and environmental sectors.

With increasing government regulation of pollution, as well as willingness to levy punitive fines for transgressions, treatment of industrial waste is a important subject.

This volume advances the scientific understanding, development, and application of geospatial technologies related to groundwater resource management, mapping, monitoring, and modelling using up-to-date remote sensing and GIS techniques.

Exploring the crucial shift towards sustainable transport, this book examines how we can ensure safe and efficient movement of people and goods without compromising future mobility.
