Description
The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to and review of the state- of-science concerning the use of biological markers in animals and plants as an innovative approach to evaluating the ecological and health effects of environmental contamination. Specifically, the book examines the status of research on the development, application, and validation of biological markers, either as indicators of exposure to toxic chemicals in the environment...
Description
In Reducing Toxics, leading experts in industry, business, and policy examine the context of recent initiatives and explore the potential for reduction at the industry and facility levels. They consider both the regulatory and institutional setting of pollution reduction initiatives, prescribe strategies for developing a prevention framework, and apply these principles in analyzing industry case studies. The book offers an analytic framework for defining...

Description
The author argues for a new perspective on disaster law that is based on the principles of environmental protection. His prescription boils down to three simple commands: Go green, be fair, and keep safe. He argues that government must assume a stronger regulatory role in managing natural infrastructure, distributional fairness, and public risk.--[book cover].
Description
In recent years, Earth systems science has advanced rapidly, helping to transform climate change and other planetary risks into major political issues. Changing the Atmosphere strengthens our understanding of this important link between expert knowledge and environmental governance. In so doing, it illustrates how the emerging field of science and technology studies can inform our understanding of the human dimensions of global environmental change.Incorporating...
