Abstract

Air pollution damages materials, but it has changed dramatically in the past century, with a reduction in the concentration of corrosive primary pollutants in urban atmospheres. At the same time, architectural styles and types of materials have changed, as we have moved to more organically rich, photochemically active atmospheres. Contemporary air pollutants have the potential to degrade organic coatings and polymers, which are of great importance to modern structures, while increasing amounts of fine diesel soot spoil the simple lines and smooth areas characteristic of many modern buildings

Abstract

De meeste handboeken behandelen ofwel de problematiek in verband met lucht-, water-, en/of bodemverontreinging ofwel technologie om milieuproblemen te remediëren. In dit boek wordt voor de milieucompartimenten lucht, water en bodem telkens: &#13;&#13;de milieukwaliteit beschreven en de ermee verbonden problemen &#13;&#13;een bondig overzicht gegeven van de relevante wetgeving &#13;&#13;de chemie van het milieucompartiment behandeld &#13;&#13;een overzicht gegeven van technieken om de verontreiniging aan te pakken. &#13;Verder wordt aandacht besteed aan preventie en duurzame technologische ontwikkeling, evenals aan de relatie tussen industrie, technologie en milieu. &#13;De lezer vindt in dit boek zeker voldoende basiselementen en verwijzingen naar de praktijk. &#13;Dit is het eerste Nederlandstalige boek dat praktisch de gehele milieuproblematiek behandelt en specifiek gericht is op de situatie in Vlaanderen. Het geeft een goed onverzicht en inzicht voor al wie beschikt over enige kennnis van scheikunde en fysica. Het kan gebruikt worden door ingenieurs, technici en bedrijfsleiders die met milieuproblemen te maken krijgen. Ook voor milieucoördinatoren levert het nuttige informatie.&#13;&#13;

Abstract

"There's a simple, straightforward way to cut carbon emissions and prevent the most disastrous effects of climate change-and we're rejecting it because of irrational political fears. That's the central argument of The Case for a Carbon Tax, a clear-eyed, sophisticated analysis of climate change policy. Shi-Ling Hsu examines the four major approaches to curbing CO2: cap-and-trade; command and control regulation; government subsidies of alternative energy; and carbon taxes. Weighing the economic, social, administrative, and political merits of each, he demonstrates why a tax is currently the most effective policy. Hsu does not claim that a tax is the perfect or only solution-but that unlike the alternatives, it can be implemented immediately and paired effectively with other approaches. In fact, the only real barrier is psychological. While politicians can present subsidies and cap-and-trade as "win-win" solutions, the costs of a tax are immediately apparent. Hsu deftly explores the social and political factors that prevent us from embracing this commonsense approach. And he shows why we must get past our hang-ups if we are to avert a global crisis. In fact, the only real barrier is psychological. While politicians can present subsidies and cap-and-trade as "win-win" solutions, the costs of a tax are immediately apparent.
