Countering 21st Century Social-Environmental Threats to Growing Global Populations
ISBN: 9783319096858 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book brings together in a single volume a grand overview of solutions - political, economic, and scientific - to social and environmental problems that are related to the growth of human populations in areas that can least cope with them now. Through progressive adaptation to social and environmental changes projected for the future, including population growth, global warming/climate change, water deficits, and increasing competition for other natural resources, the world may be able to achieve a fair degree of sustainability for some time into the future. This book brings together in a single volume a grand overview of solutions - political, economic, and scientific - to social and environmental prob... |

Mitigation of Dangers from Natural and Anthropogenic Hazards: Prediction, Prevention, and Preparedness
ISBN: 9783319388748 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 127 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book advances a three-step program for mitigation of natural and anthropogenic hazards, addressing mitigation economics and funding possibilities to meet the needs of at risk countries that lack the financial resources to invest in disaster reduction programs. Within the context of mitigation, this book covers prediction-prevention-preparedness for global warming/climate change as existing and progressive processes that create or abet slow developing or rapidly occurring hazards that endanger society such as sea level rise, extreme weather events, threats to food/water security, and...

The Earth's Human Carrying Capacity: Limitations Assessed, Solutions Proposed
ISBN: 9783030734787 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book focuses on the Earth’s carrying capacity to service the needs of its human populations as well as preserve the ecosystems that provide natural resources that sustain life and support human activities in 2020 and later in the century (2050 and beyond). It addresses the two principal factors that challenge the limits of the carrying capacity: growing populations/demographic moves and global warming/climate change. It also covers the effects that these factors have on water availability, food security, sanitation and natural resources. The status of these basic needs that...

Environmental Geochemistry of Potentially Toxic Metals
ISBN: 9783540420309 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Contamination of the earth's ecosystems by potentially toxie metalsl metalloids is a global problem. It will likely grow with our planet's increasing populations and their requirements for natural resources (e. g., water, food, energy, waste-disposal sites) and metals-based goods. The health impacts of pollution from the ingestion of heavy metals/metalloids via respiration, food, and drinking water are most often long-term and manifest themselves in many ways. These include, for example, disminution of mental acuity, loss of motor control, critieal organ dysfunction, cancer, chronie illnesses...

Environmental Geochemistry of Potentially Toxic Metals
ISBN: 9783642075544 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The book focuses on heavy metals that have damaged the ecosystem Earth and its life forms. It characterizes natural and anthropogenic sources of pollutants, identifies physical, chemical and biological conditions that affect their ecosystem mobility. The book describes the pathways by which potentially toxic metals can access and concentrate to toxic levels in organisms. The text reviews the different environmental assessment, monitoring samples and analytical techniques used to determine how sample types bond the metals and hence affect their bioavailibility and bioaccumulation....
