This book identifies, evaluates and reports the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the physical, biological and socioeconomic environment, using the science and technology of geoinformatics. It encourages the environmental considerations in the future city and policy planning and decision-making. For example, according to the World Health Organization, 80% of people living in cities are exposed to polluted air that exceeds healthy levels. City planners have applied the developing concepts of sustainability to modern debates over how cities and regions should be reviewed, regenerated and reformed since the introduction of the concept in developmental science. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a ...
Early anthropological evidence for plant use as medicine is 60,000 years old as reported from the Neanderthal grave in Iraq. The importance of plants as medicine is further supported by archeological evidence from Asia and the Middle East. Today, around 1.4 billion people in South Asia alone have no access to modern health care, and rely instead on traditional medicine to alleviate various symptoms. On a global basis, approximately 50 to 80 thousand plant species are used either natively or as pharmaceutical derivatives for life-threatening conditions that include diabetes, hypertension and cancers. As the demand for plant-based medicine rises, there is an unmet need to investigate the quali...

Might this reduce illegal trade and improper recycling of hazardous wastes by making the legitimate alternatives more attractive? Addressing these questions, this book examines environmentally sound waste management as a driver in the transition to a green economy, and discusses how this transition is challenged by technical limitations, weak regulatory environments and lack of financial incentives.
İnsan ihtiyaçlarının karşılanması ve hayatın devamı için tüketimden vazgeçmek imkânsızdır. Bu sebeple, çevre sorunları içinde katı atıkların bambaşka bir önemi bulunmaktadır. Katı atıklar kent yönetimlerinin çözmeye çalıştığı en önemli çevre sorunlarından biridir. Kentleşme, sanayileşme, nüfus artışı gibi sosyal değişmeler; sanayi, tarım, turizm gibi ekonomik faaliyetler ve teknolojik gelişmeler, çeşit ve miktar olarak giderek daha çok atığın oluşmasına sebep olmaktadır. Bunların bir sonucu olarak, insanların yaşam alanlarında üretilen evsel katı atıkların yönetimi özel bir önem taşımaktadır. Ambalajlar gibi içeriğinde ...

The continuously increasing human population, has resulted in a huge demand for processed and packaged foods. As a result of this demand, large amounts of water, air, electricity and fuel are consumed on a daily basis for food processing, transportation and preservation purposes. Although not one of the most heavily polluting, the food industry does contribute to the increase in volume of waste produced as well as to the energy expended to do so. For the first time, nine separate food industry categories are thoroughly investigated in Waste Management for the Food Industries in an effort to help combat this already acute problem. The current state of environmental management systems is descr...
