Environmental Valuation in developed countries: case studies

This is the second of two volumes of case studies that illustrate how environmental economists place values on environmental assets and on the flows of goods and services generated by those assets. The first volume Valuing the Environment in Developing Countries illustrates methodologies and applications of valuation techniques in the developing world; this volume concentrates on developed or `…

Economic valuation of river systems

It is rare to find a book that attempts to integrate physical, biological and social sciences (economics) to address environmental problems, but this book does a great job of it. It is also rare to find a book that addresses both the benefits and the costs of river restoration, and again this book delivers. This collection of case studies provides an informative and practical guide to conductin…

Tropical rainforests and agroforests under global change: ecological and soci…

Tropical rainforests are disappearing due to agricultural intensification and climate change, causing irreversible losses in biodiversity and associated ecosystem functioning. Ecosystem properties and human well-being are profoundly influenced by environmental change, which is often not considered during land use intensification. Understanding these processes needs an integrated scientific appr…

Burton field guide for industrial hygiene

Raw technical data from an engineering perspective makes this book a uniquely useful tool. Everything you'd need to know in a concise, handy format on common industrial gases and chemicals, checklists for exhaust fan maintenance, indoor air contaminant sources and much more. Chapters include terms and equations, nomographs and charts, thermal conditions, ergonomics, PPE and respirators, standar…

Continuous monitoring for hazardous material release

Whether occurring accidentally or through acts of terrorism, catastrophic chemical releases must be identified early in order to mitigate their consequences. Continuous sensor monitoring can detect catastrophic chemical releases early enough to curb extreme amounts of damage. In several notable instances, such monitors have not been used appropriately, or have fallen short of what they should h…

Modeling water quality in distribution systems

Updated and expanded from the 1998 edition, this comprehensive text discusses the use of water quality modeling, including EPANET, and its potential for understanding the effects of contaminated transport in drinking water distribution systems. Chapters outline the major elements involved in water quality modeling and the development and application of water quality models
