Modelling the Fate of Chemicals in the Environment and the Human Body
This volume focuses on modelling the fate of chemicals in the environment and the human body to arrive at an integrated exposure assessment. It covers five broad topics, namely: future challenges in exposure assessment; the evolution of human health and environmental risk assessment; standard documentation for exposure models; modelling different environmental components (i.e. surface waters, atmosphere, soil, groundwater, plants, aquatic organisms and mammals); and the fate of contaminants in humans. This work draws on the authors’ and editors’ extensive experience and a range of different research activities, including case studies, that have led to the development of MERLIN-Expo, a standardised software package for simulating the fate of chemicals in the main environmental systems and in the human body in an integrated manner. It will be of considerable interest to researchers and students, risk managers, and policy- and decision-makers whose work involves environmental protection and human health.
Environmental Sustainability and Development in Organizations
This book aims to analyze contexts and perspectives in the relationships between environmental sustainability, human development and organizations. The book combines different scientific approaches for enhancing our understanding of environmental sustainability, development economics and evaluate what the actual conditions in emerging economies are and how developing new process could improve the well-being of developing countries. Employing a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach, the authors work to determine the main related factors and outcomes of the relationship between challenges and new strategies in the environmental sustainability, ultimately seeking to guide public policies to enhance the welfare of the population of an emerging economy.
Energy in Africa
Bringing together conceptual, theoretical and evidence-based contributions from a diverse set of experts, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of energy in Africa, from a management perspective. Taking a closer look at the global energy environment and security in developing areas of the region, the authors discuss the significance of energy policy to the socio-economic growth of the continent. This important book tackles the challenge of ensuring sustainability in Africa and focuses on both fossil fuels and renewable energy. Essential reading for researchers interested in energy management, sustainability, and energy policy, this noteworthy collection of interdisciplinary contributions provides examples of effective energy management in Africa.

La Seine en son bassin
Synthèse de huit années d'importants travaux et élaboré dans le cadre d'un vaste programme interdisciplinaire du CNRS, le "Piren Seine", La Seine en son bassin fait le bilan des recherches collectives, entreprises depuis 1989, sur les problèmes de qualité des eaux dans ce grand bassin anthropisé. L'ouvrage fait le point sur les processus, les façons dont ils ont été étudiés et modélisés, les enseignements généraux qui en résultent pour mieux connaître, protéger et gérer la Seine et d'autres systèmes fluviaux comparables. L'étude est réalisée sous trois angles différents : les milieux aquatiques, les produits "polluants", la réponse des organismes aquatiques.
