Download or read book Environmental Analysis of Contaminated Sites written by Geoffrey I. Sunahara and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2002-03-12 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Bioremediation ist ein Verfahren, bei dem biologische Verfahren eingesetzt werden, um industrielle Schadstoffe in verschiedenen Ökosystemen wieder in den natürlichen Stoffkreislauf zurückzuführen. Ob die Bioremediation erfolgreich ist oder nicht, hängt entscheidend vom Verständnis des biotechnologischen Prozesses und von den Stärken und Schwächen der eingesetzten ökotoxikologischen Verfahren ab. "Environmental Analysis of Contaminated Sites" diskutiert umweltanalytische Verfahren und Methoden zur Bewertung der erfolgreichen Sanierung kontaminierter Bodensysteme. Ein nützlicher Leitfaden, der diese komplexe Thematik umfassend behandelt, indem er Ökotoxizitätstests für den Bodenschutz, die Bioremediation und die Risikobewertung der Umweltgefährdung miteinander verbindet. Darüber hinaus beschreibt er das Zusammenwirken von ökotoxikologischer Labor- und Felduntersuchung, Biotechnologie Consultants und verschiedenen internationalen Umweltkontrollbehörden und erklärt, wie sie gemeinsam an einer erfolgreichen Auswertung sanierter Umweltsysteme arbeiten. Mit zahlreichen Fallstudien zu erfolgreichen und gescheiterten Projekten.
Download or read book Global Health Security written by and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-06-19 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current book, Global Health Security - Contemporary Considerations and Developments, represents a collective work of multiple authors from around the world, with an ultimate goal of providing the reader with a comprehensive exploration of critical issues shaping modern global health security, especially in the post-COVID-19 reality of today. It not only highlights the latest trends, challenges, and advancements shaping the field but also delves into unique topics like the impact of geopolitical tensions and barriers, funding gaps, intentional and unintentional misuse of social media platforms, medical and health misinformation, and the need for greater equity and inclusivity. Moreover, the book outlines potential future directions for strengthening global health security, including the enhancement of multisectoral collaboration, investment in research and development, and promotion of health equity. These are critical measures that can help address the current challenges facing our planet following the most devastating pandemic in over a century. This collection of expert manuscripts provides valuable insights and practical recommendations that can help inform policy decisions and guide future research and development efforts. We hope that the reader will find this book to be an essential resource, especially for those looking to gain a deeper understanding of the issues surrounding global health security.
Download or read book Drinking Water Quality and Human Health written by Patrick Levallois and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quality of drinking water is paramount for public health. Despite important improvements in the last decades, access to safe drinking water is not universal. The World Health Organization estimates that almost 10% of the population in the world do not have access to improved drinking water sources. Among other diseases, waterborne infections cause diarrhea, which kills nearly one million people every year, mostly children under 5 years of age. On the other hand, chemical pollution is a concern in high-income countries and an increasing problem in low- and middle-income countries. Exposure to chemicals in drinking water may lead to a range of chronic non-communicable diseases (e.g., cancer, cardiovascular disease), adverse reproductive outcomes, and effects on children’s health (e.g., neurodevelopment), among other health effects. Although drinking water quality is regulated and monitored in many countries, increasing knowledge leads to the need for reviewing standards and guidelines on a nearly permanent basis, both for regulated and newly identified contaminants. Drinking water standards are mostly based on animal toxicity data, and more robust epidemiologic studies with accurate exposure assessment are needed. The current risk assessment paradigm dealing mostly with one-by-one chemicals dismisses the potential synergisms or interactions from exposures to mixtures of contaminants, particularly at the low-exposure range. Thus, evidence is needed on exposure and health effects of mixtures of contaminants in drinking water. Finally, water stress and water quality problems are expected to increase in the coming years due to climate change and increasing water demand by population growth, and new evidence is needed to design appropriate adaptation policies. This Special Issue of International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on the current state of knowledge on the links between drinking water quality and human health.

Gilman and published by Division de la toxicologie des médicaments, Bureau de recherche sur les médicaments, Santé et bien-être social Canada. This book was released on 1991 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purposes of toxicological testing are the protection of human health and the safeguarding of the environment from excessive manmade contamination. Responsibility for setting safety standards and monitoring their implementation lies mainly with the federal departments of health, agriculture, and the environment. This report discusses in some detail the state-of-the-art of in vitro toxicology and other trends in alternative toxicological testing that may lead to a reduction in the use of animals for these purposes. It covers both the national and international fields, particularly in pharmaceuticals and biologicals. The toxicological testing of consumer chemicals, agricultural chemicals, and foods is also considered in less detail. The report focuses on Canada and the testing R & D undertaken in this country.
