Emerging Contaminants in the Environment: Challenges and Sustainable Practices covers all aspects of emerging contaminants in the environment, from basic understanding to different types of emerging contaminants and how these threaten organisms, their environmental fate studies, detection methods, and sustainable practices of dealing with contaminants. Emerging contaminant remediation is a pressing need due to the ever-increasing pollution in the environment, and it has gained a lot of scientific and public attention due to its high effectiveness and sustainability. The discussions in the book on the bioremediation of these contaminants are covered from the perspective of proven technologies and practices through case studies and real-world data. One of the main benefits of this book is that it summarizes future challenges and sustainable solutions. It can, therefore, become an effective guide to the elimination (through sustainable practices) of emerging contaminants. At the back of these explorations on sustainable bioremediation of emerging contaminants lies the set of 17 goals articulated by the United Nations in its 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all its member states.
This book provides academics, researchers, students, and practitioners interested in the detection and elimination of emerging contaminants from the environment, with the latest advances by leading experts in emerging contaminants the field of environmental sciences.

Описание: Provides an up-to-date synthesis of all knowledge relevant to the climate change issue, from basic science to the technologies, economic instruments and political strategies that can be employed in response to climate change. It will be invaluable for a wide range of researchers and professionals, and for advanced students.
The environment has not always been protected by law. It was not until the middle of the 20th century that 'the environment' came to be understood as an entity in need of special care, and the law-politics duo firmly fixed its focus on this issue.
In this book Wickham and Goodie tell the story of how law and politics first came upon the environment as an object in need of special attention. They outline the unlikely intersection of aesthetics and science that made 'the environment' into the matter of great concern it is today. The book describes the way private common-law strategies and public-law legislative strategies have approached the task of protecting the environment, and explore the greatest environmental challenge to have so far confronted environmental law and politics; the threat of global climate change. The book offers descriptions of many of the strategies being deployed to meet this challenge and present some troubling assessments of them.
The book will be of great interest to students, teachers, and researchers of environmental law, socio-legal studies, environmental studies, and political theory.
Описание: Water is one of the most important resources of all , Businesses, communities, and ecosystems everywhere depend on clean freshwater to survive and prosper. When the same source of water is shared for economic, social and environmental causes it becomes the responsibility of every sector to develop a sustainable water strategy beneficial for all. Like agriculture and domestic use Industries also consume great amount of water which is generally sourced from the common environmental resource shared by the natural and thuman communityies. While utilising water corporates have a responsibility to understand the source of water, its quantum and vulnerability so that conflicts among different stakeholders can be avoided. While doing so the corporate managers will face many challenges coming out of resource assessment, water accounting, water sharing, water disclosure and compliance and different government statutes and law of the land. Corporations are now facing diverse water risks, including changing allotments, more stringent water-quality regulations, growing community interest and control over local resources, and increased public scrutiny of water-related activities. Another great challenge for the industries is the gradual decline of water resource in different part of the world due to increase in demand, change in landscape, climate change etc. The industries now should face not only the competition in resource sharing but also the impacts of climate change. The term efficient water use will be applied to those businesses which have minimised the water use and properly protected the source water, used technologies and water management system that minimises the water requirement and complies all necessary norms and statues regarding maintaining the water quality and quantity. Water stewardship implies that a corporate not only manages its own water but it also integrates different stakeholders in the management process and develops an integrated system where water sharing is equitable, careful, and sustainable. While dealing with challenges in water management corporate managers will encounter opportunities that will lead them in developing a sustainable water strategy.The aim of this book is to offer a water resource management plan for industries which is directly implementable and consistent with the Water Framework Directives of different countries with a special emphasis on developing countries. The contributor, who is a leading world expert in these fields, develops an integrated water resources management plan for the industries which is economically efficient, socially equitable and environmentally sustainable. The book offers explicit technical and investment solutions, socioeconomic and legal instruments and recommendations for institutional restructuring. The introductory chapter describes the water situation throughout the world and how the industries are sharing the resource and how conflicts are developing between industries and ecosystem. In the first chapter the author describes a hydro-ecological approach of water resource management. The modalities and methods of assessment of source water has been discussed in this chapter along with an introduction to the basic concepts for understanding of water resource. Chapter 2 introduces the case study area highlighting the particular pressures and impacts as well as the environmental functions and values of sustainable water resource management. Chapter 3 deals with corporate water strategy for water security. In this chapter water security has been defined as the availability of an acceptable quantity and quality of water for health, livelihoods, ecosystems and production, coupled with an acceptable level of water related risks to people, environments and economies. Water security has always been a societal priority — in its absence people and economies have remained vulnerable and poor. How the corporate should handle the emerging demands, social
