Acid Rain, Causes, Effects and Control Strategies
Acid rain is one of the major environmental threats since 19th century. This book reviews the 2012 progress report of US EPA (2013) and summarizes the issue in various environmental aspects. Significant reduction in the SO2, NOx emission and deposition of acid have been occurred via the active implementation of Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), Acid Rain Program (ARP) and NOx budget training program (NBP). Cross state air pollution rule and litigation (CSAPR) implemented by US EPA since 2011 reduces the cross boundary movement of effluents between US and Canada. US national composite means of average SO2 annual mean ambient concentration has been declined by 85% in the period between 1980 and 2012.
Plastic Pollution
Plastic is a non- biodegradable organic polymer, which is very commonly used in materials, large amounts of discarded plastics accumulating in oceans as Garbage islands and in land as landfills or blocking streams and waterways. Leaching of waste plastics from land filling and fumes released during incineration resulting major health impacts to living things as well as polluting the air, water, and soil, burning PVC releases cancer causing dioxins and PCB. Addition to recycling waste plastics also used in production of energy or in co-processing. Oxo-degradable plastics end up in fragments which cannot be compostable and also resulting in particles that can cause bioaccumulation. This study analyses plastics, and their path way in the environment, it also figure out the hazardous effects of plastics to living things and to the environment, and ends with practically feasible solutions.
Climate Change And Agroforestry
Natural change in climate is slow and takes millions of years; and it is known to have made our planet hospitable to live. The climate change is not limited to one country or a continent. It is occurring across the globe as evident from droughts in Texas and flooding along the Missouri River in the United States and along the Red River in Canada. Climate change drives many stressors and interacts with many non-climatic stressors which make it difficult to forecast outcomes in any general way other than existing threats to agriculture. Agroforestry increases a high level of diversity within agricultural lands which supports numerous ecological and production services that bring resilience to ...
Visual Pollution
Visual Pollution: Concepts, Practices and Management Framework offers the first substantial cutting-edge exploration of visual pollution in urban settlements, uncovering the conceptualisation, geography-specific visual pollutants, methods of visual pollution assessment and management frameworks.
Neo-Environmentalism in My View
We live in a changing planet. Nature has its own agenda. But man tries to keep it unchanged by his activities based on so called 'sustainability'. This situation makes such ecosystems under human control more fragile than resilience. Even changed novel ecosystems do continue to provide its ecological functions but human efforts to make such ecosystems to look untouched is not always a meaningful solution. Success of modern environmental reforms can be clearly evaluated by evidencing the relationship between Environmental Performance Index (EPI) and the Gross National Happiness (GNH). This book attempts to investigate the dark side of the globalization, roots of neo-environmentalism and its ideology from the statements made by Peter Kareiva, Mark Lynas, Bjorn Lomborg,Emma Marris, Ted Nordhaus and Michael Schellenberger. In addition, issues related to both social and economic inequality all over the world and possible mitigations or future solutions are discussed in brief.
Deforestation
Restoration forestry or eco-forestry or sustainable forestry is basically not aimed to produce forest trees for logging or any sort of human consumption instead it mainly aiming the environmental protection in order to maintain Carbon dioxide and Oxygen levels as well as pacifying weather changes and the effects to the natural habitats. This book attempts to justify the reasons of deforestation, afforestation and reforestation with available examples and current techniques as per discussions of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Land use, land use, change and forestry (LULUCF) of Kyoto protocol. Book also sporadically justifies forest restoration programme of International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) and related international treaties on forest ecosystem.
التغير المناخي وأثره على الصراعات في شرق إفريقيا
تعكس غالبية السياسات الوطنية والإقليمية والدولية التي طرحت لمجابهة انتشار الصراعات الداخلية في شرق أفريقيا اهتمامًا كبيرًا بمعالجة أسباب الصراعات ذات الطابع السياسي، والمرتبطة بالسياق الأفريقي الوطني أو الإقليمي. بحيث نالت الأسباب السياسية اهتمامًا أكبر من أي نوع آخر من الأسباب خاصة تلك المتعلقة بالجوانب الاقتصادية والاجتماعية. كذلك، نالت أسباب الصراع ذات الطابع الأفريقي القد...
Pertanian Berbasis Agroekologi
Judul : Pertanian Berbasis Agroekologi Penulis : Sapto Nugroho Hadi, Ahadiyat Yugi Rahayu, Okti Herliana, Ida Widiyawati Ukuran : 15,5 x 21 Tebal : 120 Halaman Cover : Soft Cover No. ISBN : 978-623-10-2104-5 No. E-ISBN : 978-623-10-2105-2 (PDF) SINOPSIS Sektor pertanian terbukti tahan krisis. Sektor pertanian Indonesia selalu tumbuh positif di saat krisis ekonomi tahun 1998, krisis moneter tahun 2008, ataupun krisis karena pandemi covid tahun 2020-2021. Namun, perubahan iklim global yang semakin tidak menentu, kerusakan lahan pertanian akibat pencemaran bahan kimia berbahaya, alih fungsi lahan untuk kegiatan non-pertanian, dan tingkat kesejahteraan petani yang rendah menjadi ancaman keberlanjutan sistem pertanian Indonesia di masa depan. Buku ini mengulas teori dan praktik baik pertanian berbasis agroekologi sebagai bentuk adaptasi holistik dan terpadu terhadap tantangan pertanian di Indonesia dan sejumlah negara di dunia seperti Uni Eropa dan Afrika. Tujuan akhir penerapan praktik baik ini adalah peningkatan kesejahteraan petani dan pertanian yang berkelanjutan.
Soil Degradation
Soil degradation is one of the major global threats. Mainly in countries like Africa, Australia, China and some part of US effects of top soil erosion are being increasingly realized. According to UNCCD, globally 2.6 billion people depend on agriculture but 52% of the land used for agriculture is moderately or severely affected by soil degradation, land degradation affects 1.5 billion people globally, due to drought and desertification annually 12 million hectares are lost where 20 million tons of grain could have been grown, 74% of the poor are directly affected by land degradation, about 1 billion people do not have sufficient food and access to safe water and It had been agreed at Rio + 20 that natural capital mainly the land resources are the foundation of our society and economy, this is a major vision of the sustainable development goals (SDG s) and 2015 development agenda of the UN. This review is conducted based on the Khan Towhid Osman's book on Soil degradation, conservation and remediation published by Springer 2014. Book summarizes the contents briefly in terms of analyzing causes, soil conservation and remediation techniques.
