Book Synopsis Climate Change and Air Pollution by : Rais Akhtar
Download or read book Climate Change and Air Pollution written by Rais Akhtar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses regional and international climate-change, air- pollution and human-health scenarios. The research, from both industrialized and developing countries, focuses on region-specific perspectives of climate change impacts on air pollution. After analyzing the variations of climate data over recent decades, the authors consider the different effects of climate change on air pollution and health. As stressed by the IPCC, “pollen, smoke and ozone levels are likely to increase in a warming world, affecting the health of residents of major cities. Rising temperatures will worsen air quality through a combination of more ozone in cities, bigger wild fires and worse pollen outbreaks,” according to a major UN climate report. The report follows the World Health Organization in finding that air pollution is the world’s greatest environmental health risk, killing 7 million people in 2014 (compared to 0.4 million deaths due to malaria). Deteriorating air quality will most affect the elderly, children, people with chronic ill-health and expectant mothers. Another report suggests that more than 5.5 million people die prematurely each year due to air pollution with over half of those deaths occurring in China and India. A study on the air pollution in the USA,suggests that more than half of US population lives in areas with potentially dangerous air pollution, and about six out of 10 of the top cities for air pollution in the USA are located in the state of California. In the face of future climate change, scientists have urged stronger emission controls to avoid worsening air pollution and the associated exacerbation of health problems, especially in more populated regions of the world. It is hoped that the implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement will help minimize air pollution. Additionally the authors consider the various measures that different countries and groups of countries, like the European Union, have adopted to mitigate the problems arising from climate change and to safeguard the health of population. The book examines the increasing incidence of diseases largely caused by climate change. The countries/regions covered in this study include the USA, Northern Europe (U.K).,Southern Europe ( Italy), Canada, Australia, East Asia, Russia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Caribbean countries, and Argentina.

Book Synopsis Revival: Primitives and the Supernatural (1936) by : Lucien Lecy-Bruhl

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Levy-Bruhl presents a dramatic picture of the primitives who live in a world that is capricious, unpredictable, and unstable; under the power of spirits both good and evil, to be worshipped or propitiated by ceremonies, dances, and religious rites. Dr. Levy-Bruhl shows how the mind of the primitive has no conception of the world of abstract though, natural law, causation, and categories, which has been opened up to the mind by science and philosophy. In addition, the author explains omens, talismans, amulets, ancestor worship, witchcraft, insect, defilement, and purification as fundamental parts of the primitive existence.

Book Synopsis Current Environmental Issues and Challenges by : Giacomo Cao
Download or read book Current Environmental Issues and Challenges written by Giacomo Cao and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few books currently exist that cover such a wide spectrum of topics. The chapters dealing with air pollution from mobile sources, air pollution and health effects and air quality modelling fall into the air pollution category while the ones related to microalgae for carbon dioxide sequestration/biofuels production, fuel cells, and solar energy technology, respectively, can be ascribed to the energy topic. Several technologies to handle a wide spectrum of environmental pollutants are taken into account in numerous chapters. The chapter on biodiversity is clearly related to the conservation issue, while the water pollution subject is tackled by the chapter on water quality monitoring. Finally, a general analysis on green business, as well as a chapter on grid/cloud computing technology for collaborative problem solving and shared resources management conclude the work. Because of its breadth of coverage, this book is particularly useful as a graduate text.

Book Synopsis The Smoke Problem of Great Cities (Classic Reprint) by : Napier Shaw
Download or read book The Smoke Problem of Great Cities (Classic Reprint) written by Napier Shaw and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Smoke Problem of Great Cities The committee was purely voluntary originally it relied to a considerable extent upon the good Offices of the Lancet, which had not only facilities in regard to publication but also a laboratory which was then in charge of the late Mr. S. A. Vasey, himself a member of the committee. He was very helpful in finding a way through the difficult questions Of the chemical analysis of the large bottles Of dirty water which represented a month's material for investigation. The other active members of the committee were Dr. Des Voeux, treasurer of the Coal Smoke Abatement Society, Mr. J. G. Clarke, Dr. R. Lessing, all of London, Mr. J. B. O. Kershaw, of Manchester, and Bailie W. Smith, of Glasgow. Some of these names were already well-known, and have now become still better known, in connection with the Smoke problem of great cities, but the question referred to the committee was limited to the investigation of the amount and nature of atmospheric pollution for its own sake, to adopt a phrase that, by long use, has acquired a sort of scientific implication. The reader must therefore exonerate our colleagues on the committee from responsibility for any thing outside the limits oi purely scientific inquiry which may be found in these pages.
