This book addresses the nexus between science and migration, and examines how the two are inextricably intertwined. It addresses the science of global climate change, and examines how this change is more than a region being too hot or too cold, rather it is also about heightened military tensions, political instability, and other factors.

This new edition provides a practical view of pollution and its impact on the natural environment. Driven by the hope of a sustainable future, it stresses the importance of environmental law and resource sustainability, and offers a wealth of information based on real-world observations and expert experience.

The Science of Fluid Mechanics: Concepts and Applications in Water and Wastewater Operations" examines the intricacies of hydrology and hydraulic systems within the context of water and wastewater management.

Environmental Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing is a balanced and comprehensive guide to all aspects of hydraulic fracturing and covers all facets of the issue, including ongoing controversies about possible water pollution, drinking water contamination, and the potential for harmful chemical exposure.

Concern for the environment and the impacts of pollution have brought about the need to shift from the use and reliance on hydrocarbons to energy-power sources that are pollution neutral or near pollution neutral or renewable. Moreover, the impact of two hundred years of industrialization and surging population growth threatens to exceed the future supply of hydrocarbon power sources. Therefore, the implementation of green energy sources is surging. The Science of Green Energy presents technologies and techniques, as well as real world usage of and operation of today¿s green energy-based applications. This practical book is designed to be used as an information source for the general reader, or for a course in energy, chemistry or in renewable energy engineering fields where green energy is becoming a key player. It is intended to fill a wide gap of missing information in published texts dealing with the green energy revolution currently in progress; it specifically provides information involving the many different sources of energy.

The Science of Carbon Sequestration and Capture examines the current scientific underpinnings of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and provides readers with sufficient background on the basics of geology, natural science, chemical and environmental engineering.

Hailed on its first publication as a masterly account written in a user-friendly style, the Mathematics Manual for Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Operators, Third Edition is ideal for all levels of water treatment operators in training and practitioners studying for advanced licensure.

The Science of Lithium provides a comprehensive survey of information on this highly sought-after element, including its chemistry, metallurgical properties, and industrial applications, as well as its drawbacks and environmental implications.

This new edition provides a practical view of pollution and its impact on the natural environment. Driven by the hope of a sustainable future, it stresses the importance of environmental law and resource sustainability, and offers a wealth of information based on real-world observations and expert experience.

This book examines the rare earth elements (REEs), materials, and metals that are critical to modern life. The Science of Rare Earth Elements: Concepts and Applications defines these elements, their history, properties, and current and potential future applications across a wide range of industries across the world.

'The Science of Environmental Pollution' focuses on pollution of the atmosphere, of surface and groundwater, and of soil - the three environmental mediums - and solving pollution problems by using real world methods.

FROM THE PREFACEThis book brings together (in one text) all of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration''s regulatory requirements for making safe and proper confined space entries. Because confined space entry is a complicated procedure-and a process that contains inherent risks-those concerned with safety in the work place are constantly concerned with how to reduce the risks associated with confined space entry, how to eliminate or decrease the hazards workers face in confined spaces, and how to prevent injuries and fatalities from occurring in confined spaces. But comprehensive materials on confined space entry are difficult to find. Surprisingly little material on the subject is commercially available. Confined Space Entry: A Guide to Compliance collects all of the associated requirements and regulations, including OSHA''s Confined Space, Lockout/Tagout, Respiratory Protection Standards and Hot Work Permit requirements in this guidebook. These separate, specific safety standards and requirements have been combined and organized-as they should be, since each is married to the other-in a way that enables you (the user) to easily determine the critical relationship(s) between and among them-but more importantly, to teach you how to enter confined spaces safely-and how to provide workers with effective training for proper confined space entry. Written in user-friendly, jargon-free plain English, this guidebook provides you with clear sample programs to serve as models when you write your own programs. Workers have a growing need for more knowledge of the hazards of their work environments-and especially of confined spaces. To fulfill this imperative need, individuals and government must work together to better inform-and protect-these workers as they are exposed to a variety of complex and potentially life-threatening situations in confined spaces. The message this text delivers is simple: The better both workers and management understand

Assessment of freshwater sediments can determine whether chemical concentrations are sufficient to cause adverse effects on aquatic organisms or organisms higher in the food chain, including humans. This book presents methods for assessing sediments and includes an integration of physical, chemical, and biological information. It examines the elements of quality assurance and control programs, considerations for the conduct of field surveys, screening-level analyses, chemical analyses, toxicity tests for assessing biological impacts, assessments of benthic invertebrate community structure, surveys of fish tumors and abnormalities, and data presentation and interpretation techniques.

This book presents a multidisciplinary approach to renewable energy, covering physical and engineering approaches and addressing economic, social, environmental, and policy issues. It surveys all of the principal renewable energy sources available and uses straightforward language with little emphasis placed on math and theoretical science. Instead, the emphasis is placed on the technical aspects and practical applications of renewable energy. This new edition is updated and adds information on the latest innovations related to all types of renewable energy sources and the related environmental implications.

This volume covers computations and applied math problems used in wastewater treatment operations. It explains calculations for flow, velocity, and pumping; preliminary and primary treatments; trickling filtration; rotating biological contactors; and chemical dosage. It also addresses various aspects of biosolids in wastewater. The text presents math operations that progressively advance to higher, more practical applications, including math operations knowledge expected of operators at the highest level of licensure. Readers working through the book systematically will acquire a definitive understanding of performing applied water calculations that are essential for a successful career in the water industry.

Maintenance operators that can understand and properly use blueprints and schematics have little difficulty in correctly interpreting and using plant unit process drawings. This guide covers basic principles of blueprint reading and deals with principles and applications of schematics and symbols.
