This book reviews recent trends and developments in the study of the impact that the environment has on human reproduction. It thoroughly examines these issues, using the most modern techniques and methods available, to analyze the manner in which both male and female fertility can be affected and assessed.

The long-range transport of air pollutants and the reduction of air pollution to an acceptable level is an environmental problem. The mathematical models by which this problem can be studied are normally described by partial differential equations. This book discusses problems connected with the computer treatment of air pollution models.

Despite the fact that the human life of the past cannot be understood without taking into account its ecological relationships, environmental studies are often marginalized in archaeology.

This book is an outcome of a research project on "Sustainable Forestry and the Environment in Developing Countries". Our project has specifically focused on 90 tropical countries as one group and on three subgroups by continents, as well as the three case study countries, the Philippines, Ethiopia and Chile.

This book explores some further concepts that have arisen from more recent perceptions of environmental effects and their possible interactions with living systems.

As such, it addresses the issue of endocrine disrupters from many different points of view and allows the subject to be approached by a multidisciplinary readership, including: decision makers, medical doctors, environmental experts, post/and undergraduate students, lawyers, engineers, and journalists.

John Lemons Laura Westra Robert Goodland Editors ix CONTENTS PART I Sustainability in Relation to Science, Law, and Ethics Chapter 1 The Concept of Sustainability: A Critical Approach Lynton K.

This text presents the lectures given during the Comett II Course on Advanced Separation Technology for Industrial Waste Minimization. Emphasis is given to the potentiality of membrane operations in wastewater management. Real case studies are described as well as practical solutions.

Examines the role of science, economics, law and ethics as applied to decision-making on sustainable development, covering the role, capabilities and certain strengths and weaknesses of these disciplines and their ethical implications in the context of sustainable development problems.

In the past effort to cope with these risks, if made at all, have been largely on a plant by plant basis; some plants are well equipped to manage environmental hazards while others are not. Managing the hazards of modern technological systems has become a key activity in highly industrialized countries.

Highlights the main procedures for the assessment of risks to health and environmental impacts from continuous emissions of pollutants into air, water and soil under normal operating conditions. This title reviews criteria and guidelines for the implementation of risk assessment and management at different stages.

Concepts of ecological integrity have recently been proposed to facilitate enhanced protection of biological and ecological resources against the threat of human activities.
