This book was released on 1999 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Off-flavours and odours are recognised by the water industry worldwide as one of the major causes of complaints from consumers and the general public. Off-flavours in drinking water may be harmless, but can seriously diminish consumer confidence; similarly, odours from treatment plants or reservoirs can have significant economic consequences; natural or anthropogenic micropollutants in seawater or freshwater can lead to tainting of fish or seafood. Such episodes may be caused by complex mixtures of chemicals that can only be characterised with highly sensitive analytical techniques; assessing their impacts may require sophisticated sensory evaluation methods based on human panels. The 41 papers selected for these proceedings provide a highly authoritative examination of the issues relating to tastes and odours in the water environment. Starting with an updated Taste and Odor Wheel to characterise taste and odour problems and indicate causes, some of the worlds foremost experts report on the origins and impacts of off-flavour problems and treatment strategies that can combat them. This book will be a valuable resource for scientists and engineers involved in research into this subject and for all those in the water industry tasked with combating off-flavours.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water Communication aims at setting a first general outlook at what communication on water means, who communicates and on what topics. Through different examples and based on different research and contributions, this book presents an original first overview of “water communication”. It sets its academic value as one distinct scientific domain and provides tips and practical tools to professionals. The book contributes to avoid mixing messages, targets and discourses when setting communication related to water issues. The book facilitates coordination within the water sector and its organizations as water is a wide field of applications where inadequate words and language understanding between its stakeholders is one of the main obstacles today. Water Communication provides and describes: a general outlook and retrospective of the history of the water sector in terms of communication the landscape of organizations communicating on water and classification of topics the differences between communication, information, mediation, raising awareness examples of communication campaigns on water Water Communication is a vital resource for communication managers, utility managers, policy makers involved in water management and students in water sciences and environment.

Download or read book Taints and Off Flavours in Foods written by B Baigrie and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2003-04-02 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Off-flavours and taints are defined as unpleasant odours or tastes, the first resulting from the natural deterioration of a food, the second from its contamination by some other chemical. Both are major problems for the food industry. With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, this important collection describes some of the most important causes of taints and off-flavours, how they can be identified and dealt with.The book begins with chapters on sensory and instrumental methods for detecting and analysing taints and off-flavours in food. There are chapters on two of the most common causes of taints: packaging and residues from cleaning and disinfection. A number of chapters discuss the various causes of off-flavours, from those caused by microbial action and oxidation to those caused by the Maillard reaction and interactions between food components.With its authoritative coverage, Taints and off-flavours in food is a standard work for the food industry. - Describes some of the most important causes of taints and off-flavours in food and outlines how they can be identified and dealt with - Reviews the major causes of taints and off-flavours, from oxidative rancidity and microbiologically-derived off-flavours, to packaging materials as a source of taints - Discusses the range of techniques for detecting taints and off-flavours, from sensory analysis to instrumental techniques, including the development of new rapid, on-line sensors

Download or read book Marine Pollution and Effluent Management written by S. Al-Muzaini and published by IWA Publishing (International Water Assoc). This book was released on 1999 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of marine pollution and effluent quality management has long been recognised in many parts of the world, particularly in the countries of the Middle East, with their arid climates and limited water resources. Industrial and municipal developments in the region along with changing lifestyles and increasing population, particularly in coastal communities, have resulted in many environmental pollution problems that require workable and affordable solutions. The objective of the Third Middle East conference was to assess the status of marine pollution and effluent quality management and to evaluate recent developments and approaches to waste management. Amongst the 21 papers selected from those presented at the conference are studies on wastewater reuse, environmental impacts including those of marine discharges, industrial waste treatment processes, and environmental management. These proceedings will be of great value to scientists, engineers and managers from the municipal and industrial sectors, academic institutions, regulatory bodies and research centers and all those interested in the developing issues of marine pollution and effluent quality management.

Download or read book Control and Prevention of Odours in the Water Industry written by Richard M. Stuetz and published by IWA Publishing (International Water Assoc). This book was released on 2000-05-31 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The release of unpleasant odours during wastewater and sludge treatment and disposal is not new. However, in recent years the level of complaints concerning the release of these offensive odours has increased. This is in part a direct result of the encroachment of housing on lands surrounding existing wastewater and sludge treatment works, together with the raised awareness of the public over its rights related to environmental issues. To avoid the creation of nuisance odours in wastewater and sludge treatment requires an understanding of those processes that are responsible. Odours that are formed within wastewater and sludge will not create an odour nuisance until they are released into the atmosphere. It is therefore important to understand the mechanisms by which odours are formed and then released and dispersed in order to provide effective control systems. The CIWEM-IAWQ odour conference enabled practitioners, regulators and researchers to present findings on a wide range of topics relating to the control and prevention of odours. Twenty-two papers have been selected for these proceedings. They examine the regulation of odour emissions, techniques used to measure and model odour emissions and treatment technologies used to control and prevent odour formation and emission.
Download or read book Wetlands and Human Health written by C Max Finlayson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-08-03 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book addresses the interactions between wetlands and human health and well-being. A key feature is the linking of ecology-health and the targeting of practitioners and researchers. The environmental health problems of the 21st Century cannot be addressed by the traditional tools of ecologists or epidemiologists working in their respective disciplinary silos; this is clear from the emergence and re-emergence of public health and human well-being problems such as cholera pandemics, mosquito borne disease, and episodic events and disasters (e.g. hurricanes). To tackle these problems requires genuine cross-disciplinary collaboration; a key finding of the recently concluded Millennium Ecosystem Assessment when looking at human well-being and ecosystem health. This book brings the disciplines of ecology and health sciences closer to such a synthesis for researchers, teachers and policy makers interested in or needing information to manage wetlands and human health and well-being issues.

Download or read book Nose Dive written by Harold McGee and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate guide to the smells of the universe – the ambrosial to the malodorous, and everything in between – from the author of the acclaimed culinary guides On Food and Cooking and Keys to Good Cooking From Harold McGee, James Beard Award-winning author and leading expert on the science of food and cooking, comes an extensive exploration of the long-overlooked world of smell. In Nose Dive, McGee takes us on a sensory adventure, from the sulfurous nascent earth more than four billion years ago, to the fruit-filled Tian Shan mountain range north of the Himalayas, to the keyboard of your laptop, where trace notes of phenol and formaldehyde escape between the keys. We'll sniff the ordinary (wet pavement and cut grass) and the extraordinary (ambergris and truffles), the delightful (roses and vanilla) and the challenging (swamplands and durians). We'll smell one another. We'll smell ourselves. Through it all, McGee familiarizes us with the actual bits of matter that we breathe in—the molecules that trigger our perceptions, that prompt the citrusy smells of coriander and beer and the medicinal smells of daffodils and sea urchins. And like everything in the physical world, molecules have histories. Many of the molecules that we smell every day existed long before any creature was around to smell them—before there was even a planet for those creatures to live on. Beginning with the origins of those molecules in interstellar space, McGee moves onward through the smells of our planet, the air and the oceans, the forest and the meadows and the city, all the way to the smells of incense, perfume, wine, and food. Here is a story of the world, of every smell under our collective nose. A work of astounding scholarship and originality, Nose Dive distills the science behind the smells and translates it, as only McGee can, into an accessible and entertaining guide. Incorporating the latest insights of biology and chemistry, and interweaving them with personal observations, he reveals how our sense of smell has the power to expose invisible, intangible details of our material world and trigger in us feelings that are the very essence of being alive.
