This book covers a broad group of wastes, from biowaste to hazardous waste, but primarily the largest (by mass and volume) group of wastes that are not hazardous, but also are not inert, and are problematic for three major reasons: (1) they are difficult to manage because of their volume: usually they are used in civil engineering as a common fill etc.
This book is an updated, completely revised version of a previous volume in this series entitled: ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS -- Techniques, applications and quality assurance.

The book explains the basic concepts of river water quality index, river environments, shifting of river courses, dams and barrages - their merits and demerits, mutual interdependence of river and society etc.
Principles of Water Quality Control is the definitive student text in its field for 25 years, this new edition takes an environmental perspective that is highly relevant in the context of current public policy debates.
This handbook is concerned with developing principles and standards for the safe disposal of solid radioactive wastes by burial deep in the Earth's crust.
The first volume of the new series, Radioactivity in the Environment, focuses on the environmental occurrence, the speciation, the behaviour, the fate, the applications and the health consequences of that much-feared and much-publicised element, plutonium.
Gorbachev at the Helm (1987) analyses the policy decisions taken at the 27th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in February-March 1986, declared at the time by the Soviet government as a major turning point in Soviet history.
Soviet Russia (1955) discusses the origins and growth of Russian industry, in particular the emergence of a large modern working class and administrative class since the war, how the factories and farms are run, the wage systems, and the plans.
The Road to Intervention (1988) uses rarely-seen British government papers to analyse the position of the Allied and Russian governments in the last year of the First World War, as the Russian revolution ended their participation in the war and the Western Allies feared a huge German offensive in France in consequence.
The Soviet Union and Terrorism (1984) examines the extent of Soviet involvement in international terrorism, and the aims and objectives of Soviet foreign policy.
The book contains information on geology, climate and vegetation of the Sierra Nevada with a special emphasis on air pollution effects on the mixed conifer forests.
The impact of organosulfur chemistry, especially in the areas of heterocyclic chemistry, stereocontrolled processes, and asymmetric synthesis, has led to a resurgence of interest in the field.
During the last few years, the impact of organosulfur chemistry, especially in the areas of stereocontrolled processes, has led to an explosion of interest in the field.
This volume is a collection of papers presented at the 14th International Conference on Nucleation and Atmospheric Aerosols, Helsinki, 26 - 30 August 1996.
Marine oil spills are no longer considered unavoidable "e;accidents"e; resulting from adverse environmental conditions or functions of catastrophic events.
In nature, the roots of most plants are colonized by symbiotic fungi to form mycorrhiza, which play a critical role in the capture of nutrients from the soil, and therefore in plant nutrition.
Water can be considered as one of the basic elements supporting life and the natural environment, a primary component for industry, a consumer item for humans and animals and a vector for domestic and industrial pollution.
Just as an environmental model typically will be composed of a number of linked sub-models, representing physical, chemical or biological processes understood to varying degrees, this volume includes a series of linked chapters exemplifying the fundamental nature of environmental radioactivity models in all compartments of the environment.
This book presents in detail the state of knowledge of the distribution, bioavailability, biomagnification, discrimination, fate and sources of chemical pollutants (metals, metalloids, radionuclides and nutrients) in all compartments (atmosphere, water, deposits, biota) of the Baltic environment.
This book includes a collection of extended papers based on presentations given during the SimHydro 2023 conference, held in EDF Lab Chatou, France, with the support of Societe Hydrotechnique de France (SHF), the Association Francaise de Mecanique (AFM), the Environmental and Water Resources Institute (EWRI), and the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR).
This book gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the fields of agricultural biotechnology, agro-food systems and forestry, as presented by leading international researchers and engineers at the 7th International Conference on Safety, Health and Welfare in Agriculture and Agro-food Systems (SHWA), held in Ragusa, Italy, on September 6-9, 2023.

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.
"e;This book adds much to the already evolving field of Design for Environment; but it goes far beyond most works on this subject by surrounding the central notions of life cycle assessment with a scientific body of knowledge and with a more practical slant reflecting the reality of the organizations in which product development occurs.
Introduction to Molecular-Microsimulation for Colloidal Dispersions provides an introduction to molecular-microsimulation methods for colloidal dispersions and is suitable for both self-study and reference.
