Sommario/riassunto |
|
Sponsored by the Natural Processes and Systems for Hazardous Waste Treatment Task Committee of the Environmental Council of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE. This report discusses the various natural processes for the attenuation and degradation of hazardous compounds and considers the application of these processes within inexpensive natural systems. New chemical compounds are continually being created to meet specific industrial applications and human uses. Release of these compounds into the environment is inevitable, and their contamination of natural resources, as well as their effect on human health, remain an important global ecological concern. Many compounds degrade in the presence of various natural processes, so there is a need to understand whether new compounds will persist in the environment or will eventually break down innocuously. Major attenuation processes that are covered |

include: sorption and sequestration, biodegradation and assimilation processes, photo-processes, phyto-processes, oxidation-reduction, and physical processes. Extensive up-to-date references are included, as well as numerous illustrations, tables, and case studies. This book serves as a reference for undergraduate or graduate students, as well as for practicing professionals. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Following the routinization of assisted reproduction in the industrialized world, technologies such as in vitro fertilization, preimplantation genetic diagnosis, and DNA-based paternity testing have traveled globally and are now being offered to couples in numerous non-Western countries. This volume explores the application and impact of these advanced reproductive and genetic technologies in societies across the globe. By highlighting both the cross-cultural similarities and diverse meanings that technologies may assume as they enter multiple contexts, the book aims to foster understanding |
