Improving Urban Environments Strategies for Healthier and More Sustainable Cities

Improving Urban Environments Strategies for Healthier and More Sustainable Cities

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Because cities are such complex systems creating sustainable urban environments is a challenging goal. No single strategy—or even several strategies—will be enough to achieve tomorrow’s healthy and sustainable cities. The challenges resist compartmentalization because the factors intersect and overlap. The articles in this compendium were chosen to expand the understanding of these complicated issues in a non-linear way. The editor has selected research in the following topics: improving urban air quality; municipal solid waste alternatives; municipal water management; reducing urban energy consumption. | Improving Urban Environments Strategies for Healthier and More Sustainable Cities

Environmental Chemistry New Techniques and Data

Environmental Chemistry New Techniques and Data

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Environmental chemistry is an interdisciplinary field of study that involves the science of ecology as well as chemistry. Environmental chemistry covers the basic chemistry and biochemistry that occur naturally in the world around us. It focuses on the air water and land. Environmental science normally begins by determining the chemical reactions that are occurring in the environment when all systems are in balance and then goes on the discover how chemistry has changed when there is an imbalance caused by stress or pollution. The field is constantly changing with new discoveries being made all the time. The availability of new and more sensitive instruments in analytical science is enabling the detection of smaller and smaller concentrations of pollutants in the environment. This new volume deals with a host of important topics in environmental chemistry such as pesticide-related illnesses in humans and plants the effects of litterfall in the soil of tropical forests toxicants in various bodies of water and much more. | Environmental Chemistry New Techniques and Data

Plant Physiology

Plant Physiology

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. The field of plant physiology includes the study of all chemical and physical processes of plants from the molecular-level interactions of photosynthesis and the diffusion of water minerals and nutrients within the plant to the larger-scale processes of plant growth dormancy and reproduction. This new book covers a broad array of topics within the field. Plant Physiology focuses on the study of the internal activities of plants including research into the molecular interactions of photosynthesis and the internal diffusion of water minerals and nutrients. Also included are investigations into the processes of plant development seasonality dormancy and reproductive control. The chapters focus on various aspects of plant physiology including phytochemistry; interactions within a plant between cells issues and organs; ways in which plants regulate their internal functions; and how plants respond to conditions and variations within the environment. Given the environmental crises brought about by pollution and climate change this is a particularly vital area of study since stress from water loss changes in air chemistry or crowding by other plants can lead to changes in the way a plant function. Readers of this book will gain the information they need to stay current with the latest research being done in this essential field of study.

Nanotechnology for Environmental Pollution Decontamination Tools Methods and Approaches for Detection and Remediation

Nanotechnology for Environmental Pollution Decontamination Tools Methods and Approaches for Detection and Remediation

This new volume presents informative research on the different aspects of employing nanotechnology for environmental pollution decontamination highlighting the main tools methods and approaches for contaminants detection and remediation. The book takes a biotechnological point of view that considers the main environmental pollutants; the safety and economic aspects of nanoremediation nanosensors and nanobiosensors for the detection of pollutants; and strategies to promote nanoremediation and nanobioremediation. The chapters offer a comprehensive overview of nanotechnologic strategies as essential tools to restore polluted environments and to make more feasible and harmonic the pathway to sustainable development. The volume also discusses the use of sensors to detect pollutants and to monitor the quality of environmental restoration. Topics include nanozymes; organic and inorganic pollutants threatening human health; different types of carbon-based and non-carbon-based nanomaterials in nanosensors and nanobiosensors to detect environmental pollution; nanomaterials that specifically deal with water soil or air pollution; and assisted nanoremediation promoted by plants (nanophytoremediation) or microorganisms (for example mycorrhizal fungus) that promote in situ nano-phyto-mycorrhizo-remediation. Also addressed are aspects related to a macroperspective of nanoremediation that highlight the economic aspects related to nanotechnology the safety aspects of the use of nanomaterials and the sustainability aspects related to the use of nanomaterials in strategies of environmental restoration. Nanotechnology for Environmental Pollution Decontamination: Tools Methods and Approaches for Detection and Remediation offers extensive and comprehensive knowledge on nanotechnology applied to pollution detection and remediation assisted or not by biological strategies. | Nanotechnology for Environmental Pollution Decontamination Tools Methods and Approaches for Detection and Remediation
