A survey of recent developments in the field of plutonium disposal by the application of advanced nuclear systems, both critical and subcritical.

Water - and its governance - is becoming a global concern partly because it is turning into a goods in short supply, with devastating effects on literally billions of people, but also because it is the "e;carrier"e; of global warming; whether through irregular weather patterns or through flooding, water is how global warming will be 'felt'.

Rapid industrialization is a serious concern in the context of a healthy environment.

This book details three main topics: the screening and characterization of hydrocarbons from air, soil and water; technologies in the biodegradation of hydrocarbons; and the bioconversion of hydrocarbons for biofuel/chemicals, as well as recent developments in the remediation of hydrocarbons and their environmental benefits.
