The Metabolism of Arsenite Edited by
Joanne M. Santini and Seamus A. Ward
Modeling and Simulation in Ecotoxicology with Applications in MATLAB® and Simulink®
University College London, UK
Kenneth R. Dixon
Arsenite contamination of drinking water is a major cause of chronic illness and mortality in many countries, but until recently little was known of the processes determining its movement and concentration. A wide range of such bacteria has been isolated and the literature on the topic has grown rapidly. This book reviews the new understanding of the diversity and abundance of such organisms, their role in arsenic cycling in the environment, and their possible relations with arsenic-dependent diseases in humans.
Exploring roles critical to environmental toxicology, this volume covers the steps in modeling and simulation from problem conception to validation and simulation analysis. Using the MATLAB® and Simulink® programming languages, the book presents examples of mathematical functions and simulations, with special emphasis on how to develop mathematical models and run computer simulations of ecotoxicological processes. It also provides three case studies. Presented in a rigorous yet accessible style, the methodology is versatile enough to be readily applicable not only to environmental toxicology but a range of other biological fields.

Climate Change Effects on Groundwater Resources A Global Synthesis of Findings and Recommendations Edited by
Holger Treidel, Jose Luis Martin-Bordes, and Jason J. Gurdak
This book presents a detailed study of the human impact, both bad and good, on the hydrology and hydrography (and, in turn, on human activity) of a large region of the United States. It begins with a reconstruction of the primeval natural landscape with emphasis on landforms, streams, soils, and vegetation. It analyzes the modes of agriculture, showing that available farming methods were inadequate to prevent severe impacts. The text introduces stages, basic principles of hydrology, geomorphology, soil conservation, and watershed management using real-world examples.
Climate Change Effects on Groundwater Resources contains case studies from diverse aquifer systems, scientific methods, and climatic settings that have been conducted globally under the framework of the UNESCO-IHP project Groundwater Resources Assessment under the Pressures of Humanity and Climate Change (GRAPHIC). The text presents a current and global synthesis of scientific findings and policy recommendations for scientists, water managers, and policy makers towards adaptive management of groundwater sustainability under future climate change and variability.

Edited by
Russ Beaton
Okechukwu Ukaga, Chris Maser, and Mike Reichenbach
Willamette University, Oregon, USA
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. The authors argue that we cannot move away from an unwanted, negative circumstance; we can only 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 timely book discusses the problems of environmental and economic crises and explains how they are the product of the overextension of resources. It critiques the standard approach of economics and establishes the methodological and biophysical principles needed to develop the concept of socioeconomic sustainability. Emphasizing that movement along the path towards sustainability begins with the individual, the authors offer advice on reconciling the principles of economics and ecology. They propose a worldview based on systemic thinking that treats the environment and economics as an ecosystemic unit.

Implementing Industrial Ecology
A Multidisciplinary Approach to the Challenges of the 21st Century
Methodological Tools and Reflections for Constructing a Sustainable Development
Artur Pawlowski
Cyril Adoue
Institute of Environmental Protection Engineering, Lublin University of Technology, Poland
Systemes Durables, Auterive, France
As a concept, sustainable development is in contrast with traditional development based upon economic growth. Sustainable development is an attempt to formulate a program that integrates different aspects (ecological, social, and economical) which were usually considered as separate from each other. Sustainable Development as a Civilizational Revolution: A Multidisciplinary Approach to the Challenges of the 21st Century expands the discussion on sustainable development, including ethical, technical/technological, legal, and political aspects.
This is the fruit of the author’s six years of research and fieldwork while at the Centre for Sustainable Development Research and Interdisciplinary Studies—Troyes University of Technology. The research and field work concentrated on material and energy flow loops, the principal tool that industrial ecology puts forward to limit environmental and economic impacts caused by the abuse of natural resources. The book is aimed at those responsible for providing substance to the objective of sustainable development and at future caretakers of the planet.

Solid Waste/Recycling Effect of Algal Biofilm and Operational Conditions on Nitrogen Removal in Waste Stabilization Ponds Mohammed Babu UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, Delft, The Netherlands
The possibility of optimizing treatment and reducing land requirement in WSPs is paramount. WSPs are known to provide treatment for wastewater but these have several drawbacks, which include short-circuiting, limited area for microbial attachment, oxygen limited to upper aerobic layer, and large area for construction. This study proposes investigating ways of addressing these issues by use of vertical baffles. It is expected that vertical baffling will reduce short-circuiting, create more area for microbial attachment, and alter wastewater flow from aerobic to anaerobic zones. The overall effect of improving nitrogen removal is anticipated. Catalog no. K13113, May 2011, 140 pp. Soft Cover, ISBN: 978-0-415-66946-7 $59.95 / £38.99 Also available as eBook

J. David Miller Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
The US Centers for Disease Control recently concluded that elimination of moisture and mouldy materials in the home definitively results in improved health. Unfortunately, problems of accurate assessment and precise identification plague the full understanding of the effects of mould on human health. Addressing exposure assessment and identification, Microorganisms in Home and Indoor Work Environments discusses the methodology for conducting investigations on indoor environments, including details on key fungi and actinobacteria, and reflects advances in predicting their occurrence in buildings in various parts of the world. Beginning with a review of types of microorganisms in outdoor and indoor air, their growth and control in home and work environments, and their role in respiratory disease, this second edition presents recent studies on pollen and its allergenic effects, the mechanistic basis for the effects of toxins and inflammatory agents on lung biology, and the use of molecular methods for determining microbial contaminants. On the practical side, this edition examines remediation, control, and quality assurance; occupational exposures in a wide range of environments; and infectious fungi and bacterial endotoxins in the built environment. Bringing together the state-of-the-science in this health-critical field, this accurate and timely book offers researchers, public health officials, and industrial hygienists crucial information on specific microorganisms in the built environment, along with current measurement and assessment solutions to clean up indoor air and keep residents and workers healthy in the future.
