O conteúdo desta obra tem grande importância e relevância, servindo como guia sobre as mudanças climáticas. Pode ser usado para orientar discussões e ações estratégicas por parte do governo, tomadores de decisão, setor privado, ONGs e outras entidades e setores sociais, como o Fórum Capixaba de Mudanças Climáticas (FCMC). O objetivo é impulsionar políticas públicas e engajar os setores privado, educacional, acadêmico e a sociedade em geral. O livro busca promover soluções e trajetórias de desenvolvimento sustentável para o estado, visando à construção de um "Espírito Santo Sustentável" tanto no presente quanto no futuro. Além disso, a obra traz uma breve revisão do cenário atual das mudanças climáticas com base nos relatórios recentes de avaliação do IPCC-AR6 (Sixth Assessment Report), lançados em 2021 e 2022.
This handbook discusses how microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, yeasts) can be modified to various extents by means of molecular genetics or genetic engineering. Compiled and written by the world's leading experts and practioners in food science and food technology, it presents the latest research and development in the discipline. It is easy-to-understand and can be used directly by readers interested in practical and commercial applications. So this book is important for researchers as a reference guide, and it can be used in various disciplines as microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry and engineering. 'Food Biotechnology' also is interesting for the industries, in addition to food processing, because commercial products and services affected include fine chemicals, enzymes, cultures, equipment and supplies.
Século XXI, o ambiente é urbano, os problemas ambientais escalam. Poluição da água, do solo, do ar, por um lado; depleção qualitativa e quantitativa dos recursos naturais, pelo outro, e seus valorosos serviços ecossistêmicos ameaçados. Mas vocês, jovens estudantes, conscientes e dispostos a lutar por melhores condições ambientais, ganham neste livro os fundamentos do conhecimento científico e tecnológico necessário para a mudança. Oferecendo o recente contexto histórico, Ciências do ambiente explica a política ambiental e sua organização, a legislação ambiental vigente e conceitos e limites dos padrões de qualidade exigidos. Os princípios e inter-relações da Ecolo...
This invaluable volume, the third in the series Air Pollution Reviews, addresses particular questions relating to air pollution and its effect on health. It deals with the impact of nasal disease on lung exposure, how pollutants are distributed within the lung, and the uncertainties with regard to defining the dose to the lung. It takes a tangential look at the lung dose by exploring the possibility of obtaining clues from occupational medicine.Toxicologically, the book examines the possible methodology for exploring how particles and their toxicity can be investigated, and looks into the cardio-toxic effects of air pollution. The effects of pollutant mixtures are compared with those of indi...
Since the mid-1990s advances in DNA sequencing have enhanced our understanding of humanity and all living things. Driven by these advances, the closely related sciences of Bioinformatics and Biocomputing have become the ultimate interdisciplinary study areas, forever blurring the lines between engineering, biology and computer science and bringing together researchers who ordinarily wouldn't interact. While Bioinformatics largely focuses on the analysis, prediction, imaging and sequencing of genes, the broader, interdisciplinary field of Biocomputing includes the study of biological models of computing using traditional materials, genomic modelling and visualisation, biomaterials for non-tra...
This book presents the background and application of receptor models for the source identification and quantitative mass apportionment of airborne pollutants. Over the past decade, receptor models have become an accepted part of the process for developing effective and efficient air quality management plans. Information is provided on the ambient and source sampling and chemical analysis needed to provide the input data for receptor models. Commonly used models are described with examples so that the air quality specialist can see how these models are applied. Recent advances in several areas of the field are presented as well as the perspective of both U.S. Federal and State level air quali...
Covering the fundamentals of air-borne particles and settled dust in the indoor environment, this handy reference investigates: * relevant definitions and terminology, * characteristics, * sources, * sampling techniques and instrumentation, * exposure assessment, * monitoring methods. The result is a useful and comprehensive overview for chemists, physicists and biologists, postgraduate students, medical practitioners, occupational health professionals, building owners and managers, building, construction and air-conditioning engineers, architects, environmental lawyers, government and regulatory professionals.
Photochemical oxidants are secondary air pollutants formed under the influence of sunlight by complex photochemical reactions in air which contains nitrogen oxides and reactive hydrocarbons as precursors. The most adverse components formed by photochemical reactions in polluted air are ozone (0 ) 3 and peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN), among many other products such as aldehydes, ketones, organic and inorganic acids, nitrates, sulfates etc. An analysis and evaluation of the available knowledge has been used to characterize the relationships among emissions, ambient air concentrations, and effects, and to identify the important controlling influences on the formation and effects of photochemical ox...
