Book excerpt: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), or polyarenes, are one of the largest and most structurally diverse class of organic molecules known. High percentages of polyarenes, representing a wide range of molecular sizes and structural types, are present in coal tars and petroleum residues. The major sources of PAHs are crude oil, coal and oil shale. The fuels produced from these fossil sources constitute the primary source of energy for the industrial nations of the world, and the petrochemicals from these raw materials are the basis of the synthetic fibre and plastics industries. PAHs are however, widespread pollutants and their impact on the environment and human health must be monitored and controlled. This book will review and assess our scientific understanding of the ecological exposure and effects PAHs have in different environments and habitats. It will accomplish this by taking the recipients of the pollution in the environment as starting points and working its way back through pathways to access what is required for our understanding of effects and rationale for control. Although this book will concentrate on ecological exposure of PAHs, the general impacts of PAHs on human populations will be touched upon. It is thought to be the first book to focus on the ecological aspects of PAHs.

This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arctic troposphere (0 to ca. 8 km) plays an important role in environmental concerns for global change. It is a unique chemical reactor influenced by human activity and the Arctic ocean. It is surrounded by industrialized continents that in winter contribute gaseous and particulate pollution (Arctic haze). It is underlain by the flat Arctic ocean from which it is separated by a crack-ridden ice membrane 3 to 4 m thick. Ocean to atmosphere exchange of heat, water vapor and marine biogenic gases influence the composition of the reactor. From September 21 to December 21 to March 21, the region north of the Arctic circle goes from a completely sunlit situation to a completely dark one and then back to light. At the same time the lower troposphere is stably stratified. This hinders vertical mixing. During this light period, surface temperature reaches as low as -40°C. In this environment, chemical reactions involving sunlight are generally much slower than further south. Thus, the abundance of photochemically reactive compounds in the atmosphere can be high prior to polar sunrise. Between complete dark in February and complete light in April, a number of chemical changes in the lower troposphere take place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we traverse the intricate tapestry of human existence, an inextricable bond exists between the environment and our health. This bond, woven with threads of complexity, interconnects the fabric of our well-being with the ecosystems surrounding us. With the acceleration in urbanization, resource consumption and economic growth, the environment often remains in the back seat. This book, titled "Environment and Human Health," is a humble attempt to seek insight into the intricate dynamics between environmental factors and human health. The journey commences with a concise review of the impact of particulate matter on human health, illuminating the pernicious effects of airborne pollutants on our well-being. From there, we further proceed to the semi-urban landscapes of West Bengal, India, where the interplay between traffic load and chlorophyll content of roadside plants unveils a narrative of ecological resilience amidst anthropogenic pressures. Venturing further into the realm of environmental challenges, we confront the spectre of fluoride contamination in groundwater, grappling with its source characterization and the associated health risks. Yet, amidst these challenges, glimmers of hope emerge as we explore sustainable solutions such as integrating Microbial Fuel Cells in wastewater treatment—a testament to human ingenuity in mitigating environmental degradation while safeguarding public health. The discourse then shifts to the insidious effects of airborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on human health, underscoring the imperative of addressing industrial emissions to preserve human well-being. From the plains of West Bengal to the marshlands that teem with biodiversity, we confront the urgent need for robust legal mechanisms to protect these vital ecosystems, recognizing their indispensable role in sustaining human health and ecological balance. As we navigate through the narrative tapestry of this volume, we encounter a beacon of hope amidst the shadows of environmental degradation—the transformative potential of repurposing opencast coal pits for fish culture, offering not only sustenance but also a testament to the resilience of nature when nurtured with care. In compiling these scholarly endeavours lies a clarion call to action—a call to embrace a paradigm of stewardship, where preserving our environment is synonymous with safeguarding our health. For in the nexus of environment and human health lies the cornerstone of our shared prosperity and well-being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, environmental scientists have been required to perform a new type of assessment-ecological risk assessment. This is the first book that explains how to perform ecological risk assessments and gives assessors access to the full range of useful data, models, and conceptual approaches they need to perform an accurate assessment. It explains how ecological risk assessment relates to more familiar types of assessments. It also shows how to organize and conduct an ecological risk assessment, including defining the source, selecting endpoints, describing the relevant features of the receiving environment, estimating exposure, estimating effects, characterizing the risks, and interacting with the risk manager. Specific technical topics include finding and selecting toxicity data; statistical and mathematical models of effects on organisms, populations, and ecosystems; estimation of chemical fate parameters; modeling of chemical transport and fate; estimation of chemical uptake by organisms; and estimation, propagation, and presentation of uncertainty. Ecological Risk Assessment also covers conventional risk assessments, risk assessments for existing contamination, large scale problems, exotic organisms, and risk assessments based on environmental monitoring. Environmental assessors at regulatory agencies, consulting firms, industry, and government labs need this book for its approaches and methods for ecological risk assessment. Professors in ecology and other environmental sciences will find the book's practical preparation useful for classroom instruction. Environmental toxicologists and chemists will appreciate the discussion of the utility for risk assessment of particular toxicity tests and chemical determinations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though overall cancer incidence and mortality have continued to decline in recent years, cancer continues to devastate the lives of far too many Americans. In 2009 alone, 1.5 million American men, women, and children were diagnosed with cancer, and 562,000 died from the disease. There is a growing body of evidence linking environmental exposures to cancer. The Pres. Cancer Panel dedicated its 2008¿2009 activities to examining the impact of environmental factors on cancer risk. The Panel considered industrial, occupational, and agricultural exposures as well as exposures related to medical practice, military activities, modern lifestyles, and natural sources. This report presents the Panel¿s recommend. to mitigate or eliminate these barriers. Illus.
