Synopsis

The authors of this book examine the latest developments in environmental research. Chapters include numerical simulation of chemical spills and assessment of environmental impacts; some ontological reflections on current environmental justice Research; nudges as an alternative to economic market-based instruments in environmental regulation policies; potentialities of biochars from different biomasses for climate change abatement by carbon capture and soil amelioration; electrospun nanofibers affinity membranes for water hazards remediation; hydrogeochemical and stable isotope monitoring and numerical modelling of groundwater resource in Eastern Georgia to secure stability and quality of water supply; risks and hazards of gully erosion in a cold environment; and wheat rusts in Azerbaijan.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book provides readers with the latest developments in environmental research. Chapter One reviews different toxicological and ecotoxicological tests applied to different types of textile effluent treatments and their efficiency in detecting potential toxicity in treated effluents. Chapter Two illustrates that in properly leveraging green marketing through sustainability strategic initiatives, a firm can simultaneously become more profitable, promote quality environmental issues, and enhance corporate reputation. Chapter Three investigates drinking water recarbonization process based on a combination of experimental and mathematical modelling. Chapter Four discusses improving the management of ecosystem services by means of stakeholder perceptions. Chapter Five examines community involvement in river management for ecosystem services and livelihood. Chapter Six focuses on the effect of some environmental factors on milk production of primiparous Holstein raised in the Souss-Massa region in Morocco. Chapter Seven studies the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) influence over precipitation in Argentina. The final chapter discusses kinematics of ice-cores near divides and inferences from age/depth data.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book provides readers with the latest developments in environmental research. Topics covered include the results of various approaches that have been applied to assess the susceptibility of the Greek coasts to long term sea-level rise; water quality vulnerability in Yucatán, Mexico at the end of the International Decade for Action Water for Life; toxic and potentially toxic diatom blooms in Tunisian waters; acidic waste rock and tailing remediation in Australia; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons associated with the massive mortalities of pearl oysters at the Al-Khiran coast in Kuwait; the employment of the microalgae Chlorella vulgaris as a biosorbent for the extraction of chromium and mercury species from aqueous solutions; the utility of chloroplast petB&D and trnK intron in DNA barcoding of plant species; the future of Zimbabwe‘s small farm peasant sector in relation to changing climatic conditions and recurrent harvest deficits, and the lack of development in small water bodies (SWBs) and irrigation systems to assist farmers to cope with changing precipitation patterns and droughts; and migration caused by climate change in the Shyamnagar region of Bangladesh.
