This two-volume set provides an extensive review of the abundant past and recent literature on the atmospheric chemistry in the Mediterranean region. ­The books document the experience gained on the atmospheric composition over the Mediterranean basin and close areas after almost six decades of studies, starting from early studies of radioactive aerosol fallouts and intense desert dust events in the 1960s, aerosol samples collected during oceanographic cruises in the early 1980s and including discoveries from subsequent surface monitoring stations, intensive...

This book describes the essential characteristics of graphene, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, and its nanocomposite and their applications in water and wastewater treatment and other environmental issues. The book introduces each topic in detail, discusses the basic principles, and analyzes and summarizes recent developments in the field. Various topics covered in this book include role of graphene as a potential material in photocatalytic organic pollutant degradation, water splitting applications, capacitive de-ionization techniques, air purification, gas adsorption,...

This book delves into the anthropogenic activities responsible for environmental hazards, their compensation, and potential mitigation strategies. It sheds light on the major contributors to the climate change issues aggravated by non-sustainable practices for the overexploitation of natural resources. Critical topics such as high emissions in primary mining, the recovery of energy-critical metals by urban mining, solid waste management, and forest conservation are explored, offering insights into the urgent challenges we face.

Amidst the rapid demand for resources and the...
