This book contains the proceedings of a symposium on freshwater and marine algal biofouling sponsored by the Phycological Society of America in conjunction with the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS).

The main theme of this symposium was the application of chemical methods for water and wastewater treatment and their effect on the environment.

Providing a wealth of reference material for research scientists and policy makers, these proceedings address the extremely complex problem of acidification - a phenomenon which is causing serious deterioration of natural environments in Europe and North America.

Since the publication of the first edition of this book in 1981, it has been widely used as a textbook at university level for graduate courses in environmental management, environmental science and environmental technology (for non-engineers).

The Chemistry for Protection of the Environment series of conferences has become a most prestigious gathering of leading international scientists and engineers.

These proceedings describe the current state-of-the-art of ozone research.

This volume considers, in depth, some valuation methods and aspects of cost benefit analysis, and policy making in environmental economics.

Asbestos minerals have novel properties which make them highly desirable for industrial use.

Globally climate-induced disasters have been impacting marginalised communities' lives, livelihood and gendered relations.

Many parts of the world suffer from urban air pollution and, despite the vast amount of knowledge about its causes, most countries are slow to implement counter-measures.

Radon was discovered in 1900 but it was not until the 1950's that an awareness of its potential as a hazard to humans developed.

Mounting concern for the state of the environment has led to a substantial increase in the collection of environmental data in the past two decades.

The growing awareness of environmental problems provided the stimulus for this 4th International Symposium on Biotechnology, Interbiotech '90, to address many aspects of the relationship between biotechnology and the environment.

Long before "e;green"e; issues became a subject of widespread concern, both editors of the present book were heavily involved in research relating to pollutants in the highway environment.

In the past few decades, freight transport on roads has grown considerably because of the quick and flexible movement of goods.

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.

Waste Materials in Construction contains papers from the first international conference on the environmental implications of construction with waste materials held in Maastricht in November, 1991.

Data on water quality and other environmental issues are being collected at an ever-increasing rate.

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

The increasing concern for odour abatement, and more generally for reduction of air pollution, has caused a rapid growth in the development of air pollution control techniques, several of which are based on biological degradation of the polluting compounds.

Having no competitive works, this unique publication presents a single structure for the analysis, explanation and solution of environmental problems, regardless of their location, nature or scale.

In trying to discover as much as possible about the marine environment, oceanography has split into many subdisciplines, each represented by innumerable publications.

Gas reservoir engineering is the branch of reservoir engineering that deals exclusively with reservoirs of non-associated gas.

This book presents the background and application of receptor models for the source identification and quantitative mass apportionment of airborne pollutants.

Although sampling errors inevitably lead to analytical errors, the importance of sampling is often overlooked.

This is a comprehensive presentation of the theory and practice of time series modelling of environmental systems.

The physical principles of water hammer are explained in this volume.

This book provides a sound basis for analysing water supply schemes from the point of view of water quality.

The size and number of water projects and other development activities which influence the hydrological cycle have reached such proportions that the majority of problems involved extend beyond the boundaries of the traditional disciplines of hydraulics, hydrochemistry, hydrology and hydrogeology.

This volume contains selected papers from the ``Workshop on the Statistical Aspects of Water Quality Monitoring', held on October 7-10 1985, at the National Water Research Institute in Burlington, Ontario, Canada.

Population growth and increasing industrial development makes the efficient treatment of municipal waste water of vital concern.
