Download or read book Current and Future Perspectives of Environmental Pollution and its Remediation written by Dr. Azad Kumar and published by THNAUJ INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHERS. This book was released on 2022-11-27 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental literacy is the level to which a person has a clear understanding of the problems facing the environment. It is essential to have a working understanding of the current environmental issues. This is due to the fact that the human economy is involved in a number of activities that are destabilising the ecosystems that protect both our species and the biological diversity of the Earth. There are several signs of this, including pollution, climate change, dwindling fisheries, deforestation, agricultural soil degradation, species extinction and endangerment, and other disasters. But we don't have to be very pessimistic. If our nation adopts proactive measures now or soon, it won't be too late to prevent or address a number of the critical environmental issues that put the wellbeing of people and the majority of other species in peril. Within certain bounds, we are intelligent and clever creatures, and our society is capable of implementing a sustainable economic system that can support both our way of life and a healthy environment. However, it is clear that any sustainable economy would require business practises that were different from those that were previously the norm. It will also need considerable changes in many people's lifestyle, especially in wealthy nations. Such socioeconomic improvements ultimately need to use a lot less energy, materials, and other resources than many of us do today. Also sorely needed is a more reverent attitude toward the natural world. Individuals will need to have a solid understanding of environmental issues to make such a transformation. If access to resources is restricted, many people may initially feel uneasy. Therefore, I think that individuals will be more motivated to change their lives if they are aware of the reasons behind the adjustments in light of the livelihoods of future generations and ecological sustainability in general. With this understanding, most individuals will be in favour of social and economic changes that maintain the standard of their present and future settings. Wideranging environmental knowledge will be crucial if a nation like India aspires to successfully navigate the difficult transition to an environmentally sustainable economy. This book was created in that context to assist Indian university and college students in developing an unbiased and informed awareness of crucial environmental challenges. In light of such situation, the goal of this book was to assist Indian college and university students in developing an objective and solid understanding of the essential need to protect the environment.

Download or read book Heavy Metal Toxicity Environmental Concerns Remediation and Opportunities written by Rajeev Pratap Singh and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This contributed volume covers a comprehensive account of the sources, toxic biological as well as environmental impacts, and possible remediation strategies for contamination by heavy metals. In biological systems, toxic metals affect the integrity of cellular organelles and act as carcinogens causing chromosomal aberrations or as systemic toxicants leading to cardiovascular, neurobehavioral, and immunological disorders. In plants, they interfere with photosynthesis, fertility, metabolite, and chlorophyll synthesis. Toxicity induced by heavy metals involves mechanistic approaches that need to be understood properly. They cannot be degraded by biological or chemical means and thus can only be converted to less harmful forms. The conventional detection methods include biosensors, voltammetry, atomic absorption spectrometry, and inductively coupled plasma with atomic emission spectrometry. All such strategies for metal detection and mitigation strategies are covered in this title under one section. This book incorporates classical views along with modern scientific approaches to develop an understanding of the subject matter suitable for academicians, researchers, planners, policymakers, NGOs, and environmental consultancies and raise awareness on this concern. Topics representing diverse sections namely environmental impacts, biological effects, and methods used for detection and remediation have been included to address all possible contemporary issues on the topic in one concise volume.

Download or read book Environmental Restoration Activities at the US Department of Energy s Pinellas Plant written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pinellas Plant, located in Largo, Florida, is part of the US Department of Energy's (DOE) weapons complex. GE Neutron Devices (GEND) has initiated an extremely aggressive, proactive Environmental Restoration (ER) Program at the Pinellas Plant. The ER program was started by AL to investigate environmental concerns associated with past waste management practices and procedures at DOE weapons installations. The Pinellas Plant has been involved with ER activities since the mid 1980's when the DOE's Pinellas Area Office (PAO) entered a voluntary cleanup agreement with the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (FDER). The agreement was for the remediation of an adjacent parcel of property previously owned, and used for disposal of drums containing waste solvents and resins. Remediation issues at the Pinellas Plant are equivalent to those experienced by many private industries; for example, limited volatile organic compound (VOC) and heavy metal contamination of the surficial aquifer system and heavy metal contamination of soils. ER activities in progress are aimed toward: confining, repositioning and remedying areas of heavy metal and VOC contaminants found within the surficial aquifer system; consistency with EPA's draft Corrective Action rules which state the corrective action program will be to expedite cleanup results by requiring (taking) sensible early action to control environmental problems;'' protection of a US Department of Interior (DOI) designated national wetland; and to ensure that risk to human health and safety and to the environment posed by the plants past, present and future operations are either eliminated or reduced to acceptable, safe levels. This paper will summarize the progress made and the strategies of the Pinellas Plant ER program as well as implementation of interim remedial actions.

Download or read book Plants Pollutants and Remediation written by Münir Öztürk and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the era of current industrial and civil development, everyone is expressing a deep concern about the problem of environmental pollution. The majority of the global community has a vested interest in supporting and sustaining any move for the protection of environment. In the greater part of the last century it was the fast pace of industrialization, galloping demand for energy and reckless exploitation of natural resources that were mainly responsible for creating the problem of environmental pollution. In the current scenario, high illiteracy rates of the developing nations leads to increasing environmental pollution. When it comes to the hazards of environmental pollution, there is only a very thin dividing line between different countries. One pollutes and the other suffers-there are no eventual winners without significant changes globally. Pollution is posing serious threats to all kinds of diversities on earth in particular plants. The plant world is of vital importance for our planet. It is a worldwide priority aimed at better meeting the needs for food, livelihoods and nature. To meet the food demand of fast-growing population, global food production will have to be doubled. The sustainability of food production depends on the sustainability of plant resources and using tolerant varieties to augment food production. This volume therefore covers discussions on the recent developments in this connection and the emerging role of plants as indicators, remediation, and such related issues as biodiversity conservation and the effects of on edible plants. It reviews issues concerning the future of plant life. Taking cognizance of this, several experts from different parts of the globe have contributed from their experience and knowledge to the critical issues of "Environmental Pollution," and the "Role of Plants in this connection”.
