Los servicios ecosistémicos o ambientales son entendidos como beneficios usados, requeridos y disfrutados por los seres humanos, como sustento básico de la salud y calidad de vida.
"La realización de prácticas, en particular en Plantas Piloto es vital para la formación de ingenieros, ya que les permite aproximarse a los equipos, unidades, sistemas y procesos que encontrarán en el desarrollo de su ejercicio profesional.
Las universidades Central y Nacional de Colombia aunaron esfuerzos para desarrollar investigaciones encaminadas a demostrar la existencia de mercurio en las matrices ambientales agua, sedimentos, aire, biota y suelo de Bogotá y su conurbano (principalmente en Soacha) y advertir sobre los riesgos que esto representa para el ambiente y la salud de sus habitantes.
Este libro es una introducción al tratamiento de aguas residuales industriales y domésticas, dirigida tanto a estudiantes como a licenciados en Ingeniería, Biología, Química, etc.
La obra está redactada de tal forma que puede utilizarse como un libro de exto para: un curso apmplio de un semestre de duración sobre los procesos físico-químicos, durante el cual se expliquen extensamente los doce capítulos; y un curso de un semestre de duración durante el cual se estudien con profundidad los capítulos que tratan de los procesos convencionales y de los que se aplican corrientemente; o como en nuestra opinión sería más conveniente, un curso de dos semestres durante el cual se estudien con profundidad los conceptos sobre la dinámica de procesos y todas las materias del libro.
Provides a comprehensive overview on developing sustainable practices for waste minimization via green metal extraction from waste streams This book introduces readers to sustainable management and defines the challenges as well as the opportunities in waste stream management.

Dynamic environmental processes are complex; the easiest and most effective way to understanding them lies through the disciplines of dynamic modelling and computer simulation.
Production-integrated environmental protection is synonymous with - reducing the amount of potential pollutants at source - reducing the consumption of resources and energy - recycling and utilization of residues and used products, and therefore a topic of considerable current interest.
This concise introduction to the fundamentals of biological treatment of wastewater describes how to model and integrate biological steps into industrial processes.
Once a purely technical sub-discipline of hydrology, water quality management is now a social and political discipline, with concerns ranging from ensuring adequate health standards to preserving biological diversity and ecosystem integrity.
Unexploded military ordnance and toxic chemicals, some dating back to the two World Wars, are a global concern, especially when former military bases are redeveloped for housing or other civilian uses.
This book provides industrial facilities with comprehensive guidance on the development of storm water pollution prevention plans and identification of Best Management Practices (BMPs).
Unexploded military ordnance and toxic chemicals, some dating back to the two World Wars, are a global concern, especially when former military bases are redeveloped for housing or other civilian uses.
