Download or read book Environmental Medicine written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-05-28 with total page 988 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People are increasingly concerned about potential environmental health hazards and often ask their physicians questions such as: "Is the tap water safe to drink?" "Is it safe to live near power lines?" Unfortunately, physicians often lack the information and training related to environmental health risks needed to answer such questions. This book discusses six competency based learning objectives for all medical school students, discusses the relevance of environmental health to specific courses and clerkships, and demonstrates how to integrate environmental health into the curriculum through published case studies, some of which are included in one of the book's three appendices. Also included is a guide on where to obtain additional information for treatment, referral, and follow-up for diseases with possible environmental and/or occupational origins.

Download or read book Practical Guide on Transboundary Waste Movements written by Joachim Wuttke and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2022-01-06 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In view of the risk posed by the improper handling of hazardous waste, the extensive international, European and national regulations on the transboundary shipment of waste aim to prevent the shipment of hazardous waste in particular to countries that do not have the appropriate capacities for environmentally sound disposal. This guidebook is based on the valuable experience of the expert Dr. Joachim Wuttke, who was head of the Basel Convention Focal Point at the German Federal Environment Agency for many years, as well as on seminar materials he prepared as a speaker on transboundary waste shipments for various seminar organisers. The handbook is therefore intended to support all interested parties and those involved in authorities, industry and society in the application and implementation of the extensive international regulations on transboundary waste shipments. In addition to all relevant legal provisions, it contains a number of practical aids, especially on waste classification. An explanatory text at the beginning of the book explains the interrelationships and the most important legal regulations in a practical manner. This compilation of information provides waste producers, exporters and disposers with a good knowledge base and can contribute to the successful implementation of the legal regulations, the avoidance of illegal waste shipments and the support of enforcement.

Download or read book Polychlorinated Biphenyls written by Great Britain. Department of the Environment and published by . This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) have unique properties which led to a wide range of industrial applications - these same properties have caused unacceptable environmental pollution, and PCB's are therefore being taken out of use and destroyed. The countries of the European Union and members of the North Sea Conference are committed to this task. This Waste Management Paper offers advice to people who will undertake the practical tasks upon which the national commitment depends. The purpose of the Paper is to indicate the probable types, quantities and sources of PCB wastes; and to describe the storage, handling and disposal methods that suit PCB wastes.
