Book Synopsis Radioactive Risk for Humans by : Jean-Claude Amiard
Download or read book Radioactive Risk for Humans written by Jean-Claude Amiard and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-10-29 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once scientists discovered radioactivity, they soon recognized its dangers. However, the assessment of radioactive risk to humans is still the subject of heated debate. In this book, the authors present a summary of past and recent scientific work on estimating radioactivity in the anthroposphere and the radioactive contamination of human beings. They describe the various sources of exposure to ionizing radiation (external, internal and dietary) and estimate the irradiation doses suffered by humans under various conditions (both naturally occurring for the general public and professionals, and from accidents). The harmful effects of ionizing radiation at various biological levels (molecular, cellular and tissue) and health effects at the individual level are also discussed. Particular focus will be placed on radiation-induced occupational illnesses. The relationship between doses of ionizing radiation and its harmful effects is discussed with reference to high, medium and low doses. The controversies on this subject are outlined, and international and French regulatory values are provided. Finally, an estimate of the radioactive risk for humans is suggested.
Book Synopsis Écotoxicochimie des hydrocarbures by : PICOT André
Download or read book Écotoxicochimie des hydrocarbures written by PICOT André and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’écotoxicochimie, est une nouvelle branche de l’écologie qui se propose d’aborder les atteintes néfastes des produits chimiques sur l’environnement et la santé, à partir des données récentes de la chimie et de la biologie, en s’appuyant sur la toxicochimie, discipline d’interface élaborée en 1979. Les hydrocarbures, famille de base des composés organiques, ont été sélectionnés comme première approche dans Écotoxicochimie – Applications aux hydrocarbures. Ces produits chimiques sont à l’origine de la carbochimie et de la pétrochimie et leur prise en compte a permis de jeter les bases d’une prévention des risques aussi bien toxicochimiques qu’écotoxicochimiques. Risques liés en particulier à toutes les pollutions hydrocarbonées qui devraient être beaucoup mieux encadrées, tant en milieu domestique que dans les milieux de travail ou dans l’environnement. Ainsi ces hydrocarbures sont impliqués dans des pollutions maritimes retentissantes, qui restent malheureusement toujours d’actualité. Si les pollutions engendrées par l’exploitation maritime du pétrole sont également très inquiétantes, un autre sujet apparaît de plus en plus préoccupant avec l’extraction du gaz et des huiles de schiste, dont la technique mise en œuvre faisant appel à la fracturation hydraulique horizontale, est constituée d’un véritable cocktail chimique à faire frémir bien des toxicologues avertis… Sans précédent dans la littérature scientifique, toutes les propriétés toxiques des composés les plus utilisés sont présentées clairement dans cet ouvrage, à partir des références bibliographiques les plus actualisées. En tant que chimistes, spécialistes en toxicochimie, soucieux de comprendre pourquoi certains produits chimiques peuvent être dangereux pour la santé et l’environnement, les auteurs André Picot et Frédéric Montandon associés à plusieurs autres spécialistes, présentent, à la fin de l’ouvrage, une approche préventive, basée sur la sélection de produits de substitution notamment pour les solvants organiques. Trente-quatre fiches résumées dites de ToxicoÉcotoxicoChimie (FRTEC) devraient permettre de faire le bon choix parmi les principaux hydrocarbures couramment utilisés, en particulier comme solvants, et ceci dans de multiples disciplines. Par son approche novatrice, cet ouvrage sera indispensable aux professionnels des industries, des PMI et PME de tous les domaines traitant ou utilisant les hydrocarbures ou leurs dérivés, mais aussi aux responsables de santé publique ou des milieux de travail, aux organisations gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, et aux écologistes de tous horizons… sans oublier les enseignants et étudiants en chimie, en biologie et en écologie désireux de mieux comprendre pourquoi la chimie est à la base de la vie, qu’il nous faut protéger au mieux.

Book Synopsis Emerging Contaminants Vol. 2 by : Nadia Morin-Crini
Download or read book Emerging Contaminants Vol. 2 written by Nadia Morin-Crini and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-28 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging contaminants are chemical and biological agents for which there is growing concern about their potential health and environmental effects. The threat lies in the fact that the sources, fate and toxicology of most of these compounds have not yet been studied. Emerging contaminants, therefore, include a large number of both recently discovered and well-known compounds such as rare earth elements, viruses, bacteria, nanomaterials, microplastics, pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, hormones, personal care products, cosmetics, pesticides, surfactants and industrial chemicals. Emerging contaminants have been found in many daily products, and some of them accumulate in the food chain. Correlations have been observed between aquatic pollution by emerging contaminants and discharges from wastewater treatment plants. Most actual remediation methods are not effective at removing emerging contaminants. This second volume presents comprehensive knowledge on emerging contaminants with a focus on remediation.

Book Synopsis Disarmament and Decommissioning in the Nuclear Domain by : Jean-Claude Amiard
Download or read book Disarmament and Decommissioning in the Nuclear Domain written by Jean-Claude Amiard and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the acquisition of the atomic bomb by five states, the United Nations began drafting several treaties to limit nuclear proliferation. These efforts failed, as four more states also acquired nuclear weapons. In a similar vein, an attempt to limit atomic weapons - primarily within the two superpowers - was initiated. While the number of weapons has decreased, the new bombs now being manufactured are more powerful and more precise, negating any reduction in numbers. In the field of civil nuclear use, all nuclear facilities (reactors, factories, etc.) have a limited lifespan. Once a plant is permanently shut down, these facilities must be decommissioned and dismantled. These operations are difficult, time-consuming and costly. In addition, decommissioning generates large volumes of radioactive waste of various categories, including long-lived and high-activity waste. Risks to the environment and to health are not negligible during decommissioning. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have produced numerous publications with recommendations. Each state has its own decommissioning strategy (immediate or delayed) and final plan for the site - whether it be returning it to greenfield status or obtaining a nuclear site license with centuries-long monitoring.
Book Synopsis Électrographies de fond de mer – une révolution dans la prospection pétrolière ? by : SAINSON Stéphane
Download or read book Électrographies de fond de mer – une révolution dans la prospection pétrolière ? written by SAINSON Stéphane and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2012-05-02 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’électrographie de fond de mer (EFM) regroupe les méthodes électromagnétiques d’exploration du sous-sol marin et plus spécifiquement celles dédiées à la prospection des hydrocarbures en mer. Apparues commercialement en 2000, ces techniques, avec plus de 500 opérations industrielles, présentent après 10 ans de succès commerciaux un taux record de découverte de près de 90 %, et semblent aujourd’hui bouleverser la donne en matière de recherche pétrolière offshore. En proposant un indice de présence d’hydrocarbures sérieux, l’EFM couplée à la sismique réflexion est probablement la première méthode fiable de détection directe des hydrocarbures. Complétant les concepts structuralistes de la prospection indirecte en vigueur depuis les années 1920, l’EFM modifie aujourd’hui radicalement l’approche et les philosophies d’exploration, en particulier celles incluant en aval les activités de forages et de diagraphies de fond de trou. S’appuyant sur les lois de l’électromagnétisme (équations de Maxwell), Électrographies de fond de mer décrit et analyse en détail les principes physiques, les méthodes, les techniques et les technologies mis en œuvre ou en voie de l’être. De plus, une note historique montrant l’évolution des idées, des concepts et des matériels depuis les années 1930, dates des premières tentatives, complète chaque chapitre. Synthèse unique, cet ouvrage abondamment illustré constitue un véritable outil de réflexion sur l’utilisation en prospection de l’énergie électromagnétique en milieu conducteur (eau de mer) fixant ainsi les limites théoriques et pratiques de ces investigations pour les développements à venir. Destiné aux géophysiciens et géologues du pétrole, il sera également utile aux physiciens du globe, aux ingénieurs réservoir, aux diagraphistes, aux log analysts, ainsi qu’à tous les étudiants en géosciences.

Book Synopsis Interaction and Fate of Pharmaceuticals in Soil-Crop Systems by : Sandra Pérez Solsona
Download or read book Interaction and Fate of Pharmaceuticals in Soil-Crop Systems written by Sandra Pérez Solsona and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-28 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge on the fate and interaction of pharmaceuticals in soil-crop systems. It addresses the principles of their transport, uptake and metabolism and reviews methodologies for their analytical determination. It also discusses ecotoxicological effects arising from their presence and highlights bioremediation approaches for their removal. The use of treated wastewater to irrigate crops is becoming more widespread in regions where freshwater is limited. This practice conserves freshwater resources and contributes to nutrient recycling. However, concerns remain regarding the safety of irrigation with treated wastewater since it contains residues of pharmaceuticals that have survived treatment, which means that soil and fauna are potentially exposed to these xenobiotics. Various pathways govern the fate of pharmaceuticals in crop-soil systems, including soil degradation; formation of non-extractable residues; uptake by soil-dwelling organisms (e.g. earthworms); and uptake, transport, and metabolism in agricultural crops. Investigations into these aspects have only recently been initiated, and there is still a long way to go before a meaningful assessment of the impact of wastewater has been completed.
Book Synopsis The Digital Public Domain by : Melanie Dulong De Rosnay
Download or read book The Digital Public Domain written by Melanie Dulong De Rosnay and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2012 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital technology has made culture more accessible than ever before. Texts, audio, pictures and video can easily be produced, disseminated, used and remixed using devices that are increasingly user-friendly and affordable. However, along with this technological democratization comes a paradoxical flipside: the norms regulating culture's use - copyright and related rights - have become increasingly restrictive. This book brings together essays by academics, librarians, entrepreneurs, activists and policy makers, who were all part of the EU-funded Communia project. Together the authors argue that the Public Domain - that is, the informational works owned by all of us, be that literature, music, the output of scientific research, educational material or public sector information - is fundamental to a healthy society. The essays range from more theoretical papers on the history of copyright and the Public Domain, to practical examples and case studies of recent projects that have engaged with the principles of Open Access and Creative Commons licensing. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in the current debate about copyright and the Internet. It opens up discussion and offers practical solutions to the difficult question of the regulation of culture at the digital age.
