Microbial transformations of lead: perspectives for biological removal of lead from soil.This book delivers an outline to graduate, undergraduate students, and researchers, as well as academicians who are working on lead toxicity with respect to remediation. It covers sources of lead contamination and its impact on human health and on prospective remediation through multi-disciplinary approaches with application of recent advanced biological technology. Lead is among the elements that have been most extensively used by man over time. This has led to extensive pollution of surface soils on the local scale, mainly associated with mining and smelting of the metal and addition of organic lead compounds to petrol. Release of lead to the atmosphere from various high-temperature processes has led to surface contamination on the regional and even global scale. In addition, plants grown on lead-rich soils incorporate lead, and thus, the concentration of lead in crop plants may be increased. Lead enters in the food chain through consumption of plant material. A high concentration of lead has been found to be harmful to vegetation. As the lead concentration increases, it adversely affects several biological parameters and eventually renders the soil barren. This edited book brings together a diverse group of researchers to address the challenges posed by global mass poisoning caused by lead contamination of soil and plants. The book sheds light on this global environmental issue and proposes solutions to contamination through multi-disciplinary approaches. This book contains three sections. The first section describes the different sources and distribution of lead in soil and plant ecosystems. The second section explains the health risks linked to lead toxicity. The third section addresses sustainable lead toxicity mitigation strategies and the potential applications of recent biological technology in providing solutions. This book is a valuable resource to students, academics, researchers, and environmental professionals doing fieldwork on lead contamination throughout the world.Environmental Science and Engineering,1863-5539Environmental healthBioremediationAgricultural biotechnologyPollutionEnvironmental chemistryMicrobial ecologyEnvironmental HealthEnvironmental BiotechnologyAgricultural BiotechnologyPollutionEnvironmental ChemistryEnvironmental MicrobiologyEnvironmental health.Bioremediation.Agricultural biotechnology.Pollution.Environmental chemistry.Microbial ecology.Environmental Health.Environmental Biotechnology.Agricultural Biotechnology.Pollution.Environmental Chemistry.Environmental Microbiology.613.1Kumar Nitishedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtJha Amrit Kumaredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910736983103321Lead Toxicity: Challenges and Solution3424574UNINA05529oam 22013934 450 991097058310332120250426110909.0978147552800814755280009781475515053147551505797812839476331283947633(CKB)2550000001003728(EBL)1607052(SSID)ssj0000941834(PQKBManifestationID)11543932(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000941834(PQKBWorkID)10964335(PQKB)10314529(Au-PeEL)EBL1607052(CaPaEBR)ebr10644328(CaONFJC)MIL426013(OCoLC)870245087(IMF)WPIEE2012267(IMF)WPIEA2012267(MiAaPQ)EBC1607052WPIEA2012267(EXLCZ)99255000000100372820020129d2012 uf 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrInvestment-Led Growth in China : Global Spillovers /Ashvin Ahuja, Malhar Nabar1st ed.Washington, D.C. :International Monetary Fund,2012.1 online resource (25 p.)IMF Working PapersIMF working paper ;WP/12/267At head of title: Asia and Pacific Department -- verso of t.p."November 2012" -- verso of t.p.9781475524956 1475524951 9781475556414 1475556411 Includes bibliographical references.Cover; Contents; I.

Summary; References; Appendix A; Appendix BOver the past decade, China’s growth model has become more reliant on investment and its footprint in global imports has widened substantially. Several economies within China’s supply chain are increasingly exposed to its investment-led growth and face growing risks from a deceleration in investment in China. This note quantifies potential global spillovers from an investment slowdown in China. It finds that a one percentage point slowdown in investment in China is associated with a reduction of global growth of just under one-tenth of a percentage point. The impact is about five times larger than in 2002. Regional supply chain economies and commodity exporters with relatively less diversified economies are most vulnerable to an investment slowdown in China. The spillover effects also register strongly across a range of macroeconomic, trade, and financial variables among G20 trading partners.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2012/267InvestmentsChinaEconomic developmentChinaInvestments: CommoditiesimfExports and ImportsimfIndustries: GeneralimfIndustries: ManufacturingimfInvestmentimfCapitalimfIntangible CapitalimfCapacityimfGlobalization: Macroeconomic ImpactsimfComparative Studies of CountriesimfTrade: GeneralimfIndustry Studies: Manufacturing: GeneralimfMacroeconomics: ProductionimfCommodity MarketsimfInternational economicsimfManufacturing industriesimfInvestment & securitiesimfExportsimfImportsimfManufacturingimfIndustrial productionimfCommoditiesimfInternational tradeimfEconomic sectorsimfProductionimfIndustriesimfCommercial productsimfChina, People's Republic ofimfInvestmentsEconomic developmentInvestments: CommoditiesExports and ImportsIndustries: GeneralIndustries: ManufacturingInvestmentCapitalIntangible CapitalCapacityGlobalization: Macroeconomic ImpactsComparative Studies of CountriesTrade: GeneralIndustry Studies: Manufacturing: GeneralMacroeconomics: ProductionCommodity MarketsInternational economicsManufacturing industriesInvestment & securitiesExportsImportsManufacturingIndustrial productionCommoditiesInternational tradeEconomic sectorsProductionIndustriesCommercial products332.1;332.1/532Ahuja Ashvin1816002Nabar Malhar1813640International Monetary Fund.Asia and Pacific Dept.DcWaIMFBOOK9910970583103321Investment-Led Growth in China4371641UNINA
