Sommario/riassunto |
|
The fundamental purpose of this handbook is to raise awareness about |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
environmental impacts of fire and fire suppression, primarily within the fire engineering and firefighting communities, but also within the environmental engineering and planning disciplines. The Handbook provides readers with a fundamental understanding of the problem and its magnitude and includes a set of tools and methods for assessing environmental, social and financial impacts, and a set of tools for identifying and selecting appropriate mitigation options. |
