An authoritative, in-depth exploration of the environmental consequences of nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is revolutionizing the chemical, telecom, biotech, pharmaceutical, health care, aerospace, and computer industries, among others, and many exciting new nanotech applications are envisioned for the near future. While the rapid pace of innovation has been truly inspiring, much remains to be learned about the potential environmental and health risks posed by this nascent technology and its byproducts. So important is this issue that the ultimate success or failure of...

A practical workbook that bridges the gap between theory and practice in the nanotechnology field

Because nanosized particles possess unique properties, nanotechnology is rapidly becoming a major interest in engineering and science. Nanotechnology: Basic Calculations for Engineers and Scientists-a logical follow-up to the author's previous text, Nanotechnology: Environmental Implications and Solutions-presents a practical overview of nanotechnology in a unique workbook format.

The author has developed nearly 300 problems that provide a clear understanding of this...

This volume provides data - from physical and chemical properties to storage and exposure guidelines - on over 185 hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), more than 125 priority water pollutants (PWPs), and some 450 chemicals listed by the Occupational, Safety, and Health Administration (OSHA). Arranged alphabetically and by CAS number, the handbook serves as a reference guide to more than 750 chemical pollutants.

An analysis of health and hazard risk assessment in commercial, industrial and refining industries. It emphasizes the legal requirements, emergency planning and response, safety equipment, process implementation, and occupational and environmental protection exposure guidelines.

Simple, clear, and to the point, Probability and Statistics Applications for Environmental Science delineates the fundamentals of statistics, imparting a basic understanding of the theory and mechanics of the calculations. User-friendliness, uncomplicated explanations, and coverage of example applications in the environmental field set this book apart from other textbooks on the same subject.
Striking a balance between theory and applied mathematics, the material is divided into three parts. Part I sets the stage with coverage of principles and fundamentals, such as set...

This volume presents proceedings from a seminar, the principle objectives of which were to provide a meaningful course which would generate new ideas and innovative educational approaches in the field of environmental management; to develop an applications-oriented problem workbook which would support undergraduate faculty involvement in the production of course material.

As the field of environmental management moves into the future, its fo cus will be on reducing or eliminating waste pollution streams. Engine ers, technicians, and maintenance personnel must develop proficiency a nd improved understanding of pollution prevention and waste control to cope with the challenges of this important area. Pollution Prevention: The Waste Management Approach to the 21st Century covers - in a thor ough and clear style - the fundamentals of pollution prevention and th eir application to real-world problems.
