Over the past few decades the boom in the industrial sector has contributed to the release in the environment of pollutants that have no regulatory status and which may have significant impact on the health of animals and humans. These pollutants also refer as "emerging pollutants" are mostly aromatic compounds which derive from excretion of pharmaceutical, industrial effluents and municipal discharge. Some form of pollutions have also evolved, including the proliferation of acid mine drainage from oxidation or weathering of obsolete and unmanaged excavations around the world; this results mostly in the dispersion of inorganic pollutants in the environment at level surpassing the treatment capacity of conventional techniques. It is recurrent these days to find water treatment plants which no longer produce water that fits the purpose of domestic consumption based on newly established guidelines.
This situation has prompted water authorities and researchers to develop tools for proper prediction and control of the dispersion of pollutants in the environment to ensure that appropriate measures are taken to prevent the occurrence of outbreaks due to sudden load of these pollutants in the water system.
The chapters in this book cover a wide range of nano and bio-based techniques that have been designed for the real time detection of emerging contaminants in environmental water sources, geochemical models that are continuously improved for the prediction of inorganic contaminants migration from the mine solid wastes into ground and surface waters. Remediation strategies are also discussed and include effective techniques based on nanotechnology, advanced membrane filtration, oxidative and bio- degradation processes using various types of nanocatalysts, biocatalysts or supporting polymer matrices which are under advanced investigations for their implementation at large scale for the removal of recalcitrant pollutants from polluted water.
This book is divided is two sections, the first section covers the occurrence of emerging pollutants in environmental water while the second section covers state of the art research on the removal of emerging pollutants from water using sustainable technologies. A total of 13 chapters addressing various topics related to the two sections are essentially based on recent development in the respective field which could have a significant impact on the enhancement of the performance of wastewater treatment plants around the world and especially in developing countries where access to clean and safe water remains a daily challenge

Описание: This book uniquely presents accurate and up-to-date information related to crops in small and fragmented agricultural lands with mixed cropping patterns. The book involves research using remote sensing (RS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to develop crop inventories in three growing seasons in three villages across India to inform decision makers and planners on best practices for agricultural management. The data analysis of crop details using various geospatial technologies fills in gaps in statistical agriculture research, and provides reliable, replicable and efficient methods for generating agricultural statistics. The book will be of interest to statisticians, planners and decision makers in crop management and production.
Описание: This book systematically presents the technical aspects of supercritical water oxidation and supercritical water gasification for energy and environmental applications, which include reactor design, construction materials, corrosion, salt precipitation, etc. The book provides a comprehensive introduction to the properties of supercritical water, and the industrial applications, reaction mechanisms and reaction kinetics of supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) and supercritical water gasification (SCWG). The reactions occurring in supercritical water are complex, and studying their reaction mechanisms is of great importance for the development of supercritical water processing technologies. Accordingly, the book explains the oxidative mechanisms and kinetics of organic matter in supercritical water in detail. However, the harsh reaction conditions in supercritical water can easily create severe reactor corrosion and salt deposition problems. Therefore, the book also comprehensively reports on the mechanism analysis, state of research, and development trends regarding these two problems. Lastly, the book summarizes the development of supercritical water processing technologies, including studies on SCWO and SCWG, as well as near-zero-emission systems of pollutants based on SCWO technology. In short, the book provides a wealth of valuable information for all readers who are interested in using SCWO for organic waste treatment, and in using SCWG for hydrogen production with wet biomass.
Описание: This book showcases how new and emerging technologies like Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are trying to provide solutions to unresolved socio-economic and environmental problems. Unmanned vehicles can be classified into five different types according to their operation. These five types are unmanned ground vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned surface vehicles (operating on the surface of the water), unmanned underwater vehicles, and unmanned spacecraft. Unmanned vehicles can be guided remotely or function as autonomous vehicles. The technology has a wide range of uses including agriculture, industry, transport, communication, surveillance and environment applications. UAVs are widely used in precision agriculture; from monitoring the crops to crop damage assessment. This book explains the different methods in which they are used, providing step-by-step image processing and sample data. It also discusses how smart UAVs will provide unique opportunities for manufacturers to utilise new technological trends to overcome the current challenges of UAV applications.
The book will be of great interest to researchers engaged in forest carbon measurement, road patrolling, plantation monitoring, crop yield estimation, crop damage assessment, terrain modelling, fertilizer control, and pest control.

An integrated approach to understanding and mitigating the problem of excess nitrogen
Human activities generate large amounts of excess nitrogen, which has dramatically altered the nitrogen cycle. Reactive forms of nitrogen, especially nitrate and ammonia, are particularly detrimental. Given the magnitude of the problem, there is an urgent need for information on reactive nitrogen and its effective management.
Nitrogen Overload: Environmental Degradation, Ramifications, and Economic Costs presents an integrated, multidisciplinary review of alterations to the nitrogen cycle over the past century and the wide-ranging consequences of nitrogen-based pollution, especially to aquatic ecosystems and human health.
Volume highlights include:
Comprehensive background information on the nitrogen cycle
Detailed description of anthropogenic nitrogen sources
Review of the environmental, economic, and health impacts of nitrogen pollution
Recommendations and strategies for reducing humanity's nitrogen footprint
Discussion of national nitrogen footprints and worldwide examples of mitigation policies
The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.

Nitrogen is abundant in the Earth's atmosphere, but it exists primarily as an unreactive form that is relatively inaccessible by most organisms. Although the formation of reactive nitrogen is a natural process, it can be dramatically altered by human activities such as biomass burning, combustion of fossil fuels, and production of synthetic fertilizers, which collectively account for half of the reactive nitrogen in the environment. In Nitrogen Overload, Katz (2020) explores the costs and benefits associated with anthropogenic releases of reactive nitrogen at a global scale.
This 251В page book consists of 11 chapters that are organized in three sections: background information (chapters 1-4), implications (chapters 5-10), and mitigation (chapter 11) for reactive nitrogen in the environment. The first section provides information on the biogeochemistry and scale of nitrogen pollution, with chapter 1 presenting an overview of the main topics covered in the book. Chapter 2 examines the effects of human activities on the preindustrial "natural" nitrogen cycle, which Katz (2020) asserts "has been altered more than the carbon cycle or any other basic element cycle essential to life on earth (e.g., phosphorus, sulfur)." Chapter 3 discusses the major sources of nitrogen pollution to terrestrial and aquatic systems, particularly for North America, Europe, Latin America, and India, and chapter 4 describes techniques for identifying sources of reactive nitrogen with chemical, isotopic, and microbial tracers.
The remaining chapters explore the impacts, sources, and challenges for mitigation of nitrogen pollution. Chapter 5 discusses the human health impacts of reactive nitrogen, including respiratory ailments from NOx emissions and secondary production of tropospheric ozone, methemoglobinemia from elevated nitrate in drinking water, and respiratory and skin ailments from exposure to harmful algal blooms. Chapter 6 examines the impacts of reactive nitrogen on terrestrial and coastal aquatic ecosystems. Notably, Katz (2020) cites a decline in global seagrass cover by more than 29% during the last century, but also a recovery of aquatic
