The environmental science is a fast emerging interdisciplinary branch of science which is now introduced at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels in pure and applied sciences. The environmental biology or ecology is the basic study which any environmental scientist has to be acquainted with. As ecology is related to all branches of biology a clear understanding of ecology assumes great significance. Two main groups of ecology can be classified as terrestrial ...
This book is a collection of in-depth articles on topics most relevant to industry today like environment impact assessment, cleaner technologies for industrial production, ISO 14001, hazardous waste management, solid waste management, industrial sludge management, recycling and utilization of industrial waste, risk assessment, noise pollution etc. A number of chapters deal with environmental management in specific industries like foundries, pharmaceuticals ...
India’s fourteen major 55 minor and several hundred small Rivers receive millions of litres of sewage, industrial and agricultural wastes. Most of these rivers have been rendered to sewage flowing drains. There are serious water quality problems in the towns and villages using this water. Water borne diseases are rampant fisheries is on decline and even cattle are not spared from the onslaught of pollution. The present volume is a compendium of recent research ...
Industry has played a great role in shaping the modern civilization. However, industry is also one of the biggest offenders in environmental degradation. A natural level conference on industry and environment was organized at Y.C. College of Science, Karad during Dec. 28-30, 1999. The book is a collection of selected eighty-three papers presented in the conference and cover a wide range of topics like: Environmental impact assessment. ISO 14000. Wastewater ...
Several methods of wastewater treatment – either natural or with minimal engineering inputs – can prove to be very effective as well as cost saving with regard to installation cost, energy requirements and operational requirements. This book discusses several such low cost, low energy intensive and natural methods for waste treatment which rely on use of aquatic plants, animals, soils, ponds, wetlands etc. These technologies are applicable to small, medium ...
