Environmental Toxicology Assessment
Measurement of the extent of the toxic insult caused by the substance involved is of importance when undertaking an environmental toxicology assessment. This text outlines some of the measurement techniques that have been recently developed and
Environmental Xenobiotics
The effects of man-made substances (xenobiotics) on the natural environment are described in this volume. It explains why these effects need to be understood, monitored and curtailed, especially in developing countries.
Chemical Safety
How safe is safe enough? We live in a world that is totally dependent on chemicals, be they agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, colorants - it is vitally important that we adopt a sustainable strategy for an environment containing some 11 million chemicals. This book provides a pragmatic guide to the basic tools of chemical safety assessment, from information retrieval, through hazard and risk assessment to safety evaluation and legal aspects. It is truly global in coverage with contributors drawn from East and West, North and South. It covers natural and artificial hazards to the environment, including the potentially catastrophic effects of modern warfare, and encompasses pollution of air, water and soil as well as occupational exposure to chemicals. Everyone with a professional interest in pollution control will find this an invaluable source of information - chemists, environmental scientists, chemical engineers, political scientists, toxicologists, ecotoxicologists, in industry, academia, government departments and international agencies - all will be guided and challenged by the wealth of knowledge it contains.
Mapping the Chemical Environment of Urban Areas
This comprehensive text focuses on the increasingly important issues of urban geochemical mapping with key coverage of the distribution and behaviour of chemicals and compounds in the urban environment. Clearly structured throughout, the first part of the book covers general aspects of urban chemical mapping with an overview of current practice and reviews of different aspects of the component methodologies. The second part includes case histories from different urban areas around Europe authored by those national or academic institutions tasked with investigating the chemical environments of their major urban centers.
Srednjemiocenske kremenične alge Slovenije
Miocenske sedimentne kamnine, v katerih najdemo kremenične alge, so v Sloveniji redke. Odkrite so bile le v šestih krajših profilih v Savskem bazenu. Avtor je v knjigi natančno obdelal paleontologijo, stratigrafijo, paleoekologijo in paleobiogeografijo diatomej. Na podlagi datacij nahajališč mehkužcev v Krškem bazenu in razširjenosti nekaterih fosilnih skupin je zaključil, da je povezava Centralne Paratetide z vzhodnim in zahodnim Mediteranom obstajala tudi v zgornjem badeniju. Na temelju geografske razširjenosti vrste Pereiraea gervaisi domneva, da je povezava Centralne Paratetide z Mediteranom skozi slovenski koridor obstajala vse do konca badenija.
The Role of Impact Processes in the Geological and Biological Evolution of Planet Earth
Mednarodna delavnica je obravnavala geološke in biološke posledice katastrofalnih trkov z meteoriti v zgodovini Zemlje od paleozoika do danes. Posebna pozornost je bila posvečena dogodkom na kredno-terciarni meji. Zbornik je razdeljen na tri dele. V prvem delu je 52 povzetkov predavanj in prostorov. Drugi del prinaša pet preglednih člankov o geološki zgradbi zahodne Slovenije in Tržaškega Krasa ter seznam geoloških publikacij in geoloških kart Slovenije, Hrvaške in italijanskega Krasa. Tretji del je vodnik po ekskurzijah. Opisanih je šest profilov, na katerih so odkrite zgornjekredne in najstarejše terciarne plasti.
John Steinbeck in East European Translation
This volume narrows a huge gap in regard to Steinbeck translations in Eastern Europe, here considered in terms of the political division between Western Europe and the Soviet-dominated East. As the only book of its kind, and although intended for both literature scholars and the broader arts community, it makes an important contribution to Steinbeck and American literature studies, and is useful for scholars of the languages discussed here. Although Steinbeck is regarded as an American writer of high repute, his appeal and influence extend far beyond the borders of North America. As documented here, he was particularly popular in Eastern Europe, where he inadvertently served political purpos...
