Tissue Residue Approach for Toxicity Assessment
An Ecotoxicological Perspective, Second Edition
A Critical Review Edited by
C.H. Walker Devon, UK
James Meador, William J. Adams, Beate Escher, Lynn McCarty, and Anne E. McElroy
Significantly updated, revised, and expanded, this second edition presents the basic principles of ecotoxicology and major organic pollutants. Two new chapters cover endocrine disruptors and neurotoxicity and its behavioral effects. The text also provides additional information on biomarker approaches and offers an overview of new technologies, such as microarray assays, that are being developed to address complex pollution problems. Using a mechanistic approach, this book continues to provide essential knowledge of toxic mechanisms that produce adverse ecological effects, serving as valuable guidance for carrying out the risk assessment of environmental chemicals.
A clear elucidation of the scientific underpinnings of the tissue residue approach for toxicity assessment, this book demonstrates where data on concentrations of substances of concern in the tissues of exposed organisms add value and reduce or eliminate limitations of traditional approaches for defining risks from chemical contamination. The authors identify where the approach has limitations, provide guidance on how to appropriately apply the approach, and suggest new directions that could provide more sophisticated assessment tools. They explore how monitoring and assessing risks could be improved by applying residue-based concepts to enhance or replace existing approaches.

Based on the experience of contributors from around the world who provide a wide range of content, this book discusses the impacts of air pollution on population health. The collective experience of the contributors gives the book a balanced international context. A comprehensive overview, it provides policy makers and government officials the tools they need to make effective and informed decisions. Divided into four sections, the book covers air pollution monitoring and modeling, air pollution and health effects, health risk assessment and management, and technology and policy options for air pollution control.
This practical desk reference is a guide and information resource—both on treating existing indoor air problems effectively—and on preventing costly IAQ problems from occurring in the first place. A single discipline approach unfortunately tends to narrow both the control and the treatments options. This book cuts across professions to offer those concerned with the total facility a broader, more comprehensive approach to managing indoor air quality and mitigating indoor air quality problems. The third edition is extensively updated and edited in response to the rapid pace of changes and advances in the IAQ industry.

The advent of relational data basing and data storage capacity, coupled with revolutionary advances in molecular sequencing technology and specimen imaging, have led to a taxonomic renaissance. This volume maps the origins of this renaissance, beginning with Linnaeus, through his “apostles”, via the great unsung hero Charles Davies Sherbon—arguably the father of bioinformatics—up to the present day with the Planetary Biodiversity Inventories and into the future with the Encyclopedia of Life and web-based taxonomy. It provides scientific, historical, and cultural documentation of the evolution of taxonomy and the successful adaptation of the Linnean nomenclature system to that evolution.
An examination of the complex issue of human interventions in natural systems and their profound environmental, social, economic and political implications, this book discusses India’s plan to interlink its rivers and the implications of this for water supply in other cobasin countries. It reviews the pros and cons, then offers viable less-risky solutions for water resource development.

Enhanced Stabilisation of Municipal Solid Waste in Bioreactor Landfills
Series: Social Environmental Sustainability, 2
Roberto Valencia Vazquez
An exploration of the human-related aspects of sustainable development, this book emphasizes the need to move away from an unwanted circumstance by being systemic in our thinking instead of symptomatic. In other words, we must stop treating symptoms without dealing with the cause. The authors argue that we cannot move away from an unwanted, negative circumstance unless we can move toward a desired, positive outcome. Revealing the multidimensional nature of sustainable development, the text summarizes positive approaches and presents strong theoretical and historical pieces along with salient case examples that illustrate the desired outcome of each model or framework discussed.
This book discusses bioreactor landfills and how they can be used to avoid some of the negative impacts of conventionally designed landfills.

Agreement on the syntax and formats of spatial data and developing systems to handle these is the first step towards the spatial information infrastructure (SII). Although a set of standards has already been established, a wealth of other technical and non-technical aspects must still be addressed. Creating Spatial Information Infrastructures covers these issues in depth. This book reflects recent major initiatives to create an SII, including the European INSPIRE initiative and the US DHS Geospatial Data Model. International research contributors present upto-date information on current research and standardization efforts for SII. This text also discusses semantic web technologies.

With one teaspoon of crop residue potentially able to produce as much as 100 gallons of ethanol, it is no wonder that biomass is being considered a viable alternative to grain-based biofuel. However, crop residue removal techniques can lead to severe adverse effects on the soil and environment. This volume presents the state-of-the-knowledge to collate, review, and synthesize the available information pertaining to biofuel production. It addresses the strain that crop residue removal places on soil quality; the proper means of farming systems for biofuel production; the various plant species used for bioenergy plantations; and the myths and facts surrounding biofuels.
Demonstrating that a tropical climate may vary from hot and humid to cool and arctic with elevation, this book explores the climate, soil zones, and altitudinal variation in soil formation. The author discusses the genesis, properties, classification, and land use of the soils. He covers the development of soil science in Indonesia, the geography and geomorphology of the archipelago, climate, vegetation, and mineralization and humification processes. The book then examines the major soils in Indonesia, their genesis, properties, taxonomy, land use, and evaluation. It addresses the cultivation of local farm, estate, and industrial crops and their differences from lowland to highland regions.

A collection of articles by leading international experts on modeling and control of potable water distribution and sewerage collection systems, this book focuses on instrumentation, data management, systems modeling, optimization, control and monitoring intended for water researchers in industry and academia. It includes coverage of SCADA and GIS, wastewater treatment modeling, asset management and performance modeling, sustainable urban water management including flood issues, likely impacts of climate change, and water scarcity and intermittent supply.
In searching beyond our planet, scientists have focused on the idea that evidence of water is evidence of life. However, even if one believes that life is impossible without water, one should consider whether other forms of life may be possible where some variation of water exists. Taking nothing for granted, this volume brings together great thinkers from across disciplines who discuss whether or not the physiochemical properties of water are biocentrically “fine-tuned” for the existence and evolution of life. Exceptionally rigorous in its approach, this book lays a foundation for exploring some of the deepest quandaries in biochemistry.

This study addresses a number of knowledge gaps in multi-channel estuaries by developing a predictive analytical approach for salinity intrusion and discharge estimate in multi-channel estuaries. The new approach agrees well with 1-D hydrodynamic models and observations, indicating its applicability in practice. Most importantly, the study has successfully developed a new theory and a new equation to quantify tidal pumping due to ebb-flood channel residual circulation and the related salt dispersion.
Water Ethics discusses the role of ethics in the deep roots, values, and the potential commonalities of the global water policy. Experts from different cultural, geographic, and religious backgrounds discuss the different ethical points of view, not with the intention to reach a common declaration or moral blueprint, but to exchange ideas and enhance the debate on how ethical considerations can play a more significant and explicit role in water development and management.

Hybrid Models for Hydrological Forecasting: Integration of DataDriven and Conceptual Modelling Techniques
Understanding Hydrological Processes in an Ungauged Catchment in sub-Saharan Africa
Gerald Augusto Corzo Perez
Marloes Mul
UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Sciences, Delft, The Netherlands
UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Sciences, Delft, The Netherlands
This book discusses possibilities and different architectures for integrating hydrological knowledge and conceptual models with data-driven models for use in hydrological flow forecasting. It explores a classification of different hybrid modeling approaches, the methodological development and application of modular models based on clustering and baseflow empirical formulations, the integration of hydrological conceptual models with neural network error corrector models and the use of committee models for daily streamflow forecasting, and the application of modular modeling and fuzzy committee models to the problem of downscaling weather information for hydrological forecasting.
Information collected in a gauged catchment and its regionalisation to ungauged areas is crucial for water resources assessment. Especially farmers in semi-arid zones are in need of such information. Inter and Intra-seasonal rainfall variability is large in these areas, and farmers depend more and more on additional surface and groundwater resources for their crop production. As a result, understanding the key-hydrological processes, and determination of the frequencies and magnitudes of stream flows, is very important for local food production. This is particularly true for the ungauged Makanya catchment in Tanzania, which is the subject of this study.

Introduction to Isotope Hydrology Stable and Radioactive Isotopes of Hydrogen, Carbon, and Oxygen Willem G. Mook
Wadi Hydrology Zekai Sen
Groningen University & University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Istanbul Technical University, Turkey
The application of natural isotopes, stable as well as radioactive, has become a widespread tool for hydrological research, especially surface- and groundwater behaviour and exploration. This book explains, in a simple but mathematically, physically and chemically correct form, the consequences of natural processes to stable isotope concentrations and radioactivities. It also presents indications of possible applications without the pretention of a cookbook. After a fairly theoretical introduction, the elements of the water cycle are treated successively: precipitation; surface water, including rivers and small streams, lakes and stagnant waters, estuaries and the sea; and groundwater.
Arguably the first book devoted entirely to examining this important resource, Wadi Hydrology presents up-to-date methodologies required for sustainable management of wadis and their water resources. Through unique physical approaches, field cases, sample interpretations, and various applications to different models, this book provides an in-depth understanding of these systems that illustrates the efficiency of harnessing water from wadis. The author compiles the most up-to-date information on arid region hydrology, including specific techniques for hydrological calculations and desertification assessments, and includes examples and solved problems in each chapter.

Sediment and Contaminant Transport in Surface Waters Wilbert Lick University of California, Santa Barbara
70
Since the publication of the first edition, several types of mollusks have become troublesome in regard to agriculture, water quality, irrigation, and industrial piping in general. For example, the quagga mussel has crossed the continental divide of North America and is now causing significant problems. This new edition features international case histories presenting mussel fouling problems and how to cope with them. The book also addresses the impact and control of invasive snails and details monitoring techniques that have been developed in recent years. The authors also outline the latest threats and explore potential scenarios involving invasive biofouling of freshwater mollusks.
While many books have been written on sediment and contaminant transport, this book takes a more focused approach, highlighting areas that have been recently investigated but not covered thoroughly elsewhere. The emphasis in this volume is on the erosion, deposition, flocculation, and transport of fine-grained, cohesive sediments; the effects of finite rates of sorption on the transport and fate of hydrophobic contaminants; and the effects of major events such as floods and storms. Based on work done by the author’s research group, the text assists readers in the qualitative understanding of and ability to predict the transport of sediments and hydrophobic contaminants in surface areas.

Rapid Bioassessment of Stream Health
Spatial Pattern Dynamics in Aquatic Ecosystem Modelling
Duncan L. Hughes, James A. Gore, Michele P. Brossett, and John R. Olson
Hong Li
This book describes the processes needed to create a regional system for assessing the health of streams using a relatively rapid system of analysis. The author presents unbiased approaches to determining reference streams in each eco-region and sub-eco-region with specific indices of health. The text provides field methods for monitoring and sampling invertebrates as well as laboratory methods for subsampling. It also includes general listings of health classification and appendices of more than 300 streams that have been sampled.
This work explores several modeling approaches that represent spatial pattern dynamics of aquatic populations in aquatic ecosystems by the combination of models, knowledge and data in different scales. It demonstrates that including spatially distributed inputs retrieved from remote sensing images, a conventional physically-based harmful algal bloom model can be enhanced. It also explores cellular automata-based models using high resolution photographs for representing aquatic plant growth and multi-agent systems for capturing the spatial patterns exhibited in GIS density maps.

Environmental Science and Engineering
It’s no coincidence that many of the issues in today’s headlines read like a list of CRC new releases… from five or even ten years ago. Just as it’s never been a coincidence that the fields of inquiry our authors pursue today often bear the greatest fruit tomorrow. Whether its advancing agriculture yield, improving infrastructure, developing clean and green alternatives, retrofitting industry, reorganizing healthcare, securing our homeland, streamlining public administration, or defining just who we are and where we are going, CRC has the resources and references to turn students into professionals and leaders, researchers into innovators and pioneers. In the classroom, in the laboratory, and out in the field, wherever challenges are being met by research, ingenuity, and determination, you will find those who create and rely on the authoritative content that is the power of CRC Press.
