The past twenty-five years have witnessed a growing worldwide drive to restore the quality of our environment and to protect it from the degrading effects of air, noise, solid waste, and water pollution. In Advanced Air and Noise Pollution Control: Handbook of Environmental Engineering, Volume 2, leading pollution control educators and practicing professionals describe how various combinations of different cutting-edge process systems can be arranged to solve air, noise, and thermal pollution problems. Each chapter discusses in detail a variety of process combinations, along with technical and economic evaluations, and presents explanations of the principles behind the designs, as well as numerous variant designs useful to practicing engineers. The emphasis throughout is on developing the necessary engineering solutions from fundamental principles of chemistry, physics, and mathematics. The authors also include extensive references, cost data, design methods, guidance on the installation and operation of various air pollution control process equipment and systems, and Best Available Technologies (BAT) for air, thermal, and noise pollution control. A companion volume, Air Pollution Control Engineering: Handbook of Environmental Engineering, Volume 1 critically surveys the principles and practices involved in basic air pollution control processes. Cutting-edge and highly practical, Advanced Air and Noise Pollution Control: Handbook of Environmental Engineering, Volume 2 offers educators, students, and practicing engineers a strong grounding in the principles of this critical field, as well as effective methods for developing optimal abatement technologies at costs that are fully justified by the degree of abatement achieved.

Mercury pollution in different regions of the world is a growing concern from an environmental and epidemiological point of view. The increasing trends of energy production from fossil fuel combustion, mercury usage in a large variety of goods and products, and the lack of emission control policy, especially in fast developing countries, represent a major environmental and political issue for national and international organisations and governments as well. In the last decade, there has been a significant effort to improve our knowledge on different aspects involved in the biogeochemical cycle of mercury in the environment and its impact on human health. Special attention has been devoted to fill the gaps in our knowledge on physical and chemical processes involved in the transfer of mercury compounds released to the atmosphere from natural and anthropogenic sources to terrestrial and aquatic receptors. Significant progress was made on assessing the spatial and temporal distributions of atmospheric mercury and its depositional fluxes. Dynamics of Mercury Pollution on Regional and Global Scales: Atmospheric Processes and Human Exposures Around the World provides a detailed overview of our current understanding of different dynamic patterns involved in the redistribution of mercury in the global environment, and its impact on human health and ecosystems.

Il volume approfondisce il complesso tema dei rapporti tra vegetazione e inquinanti dell'aria, affrontandone in modo capillare e ben documentato sia gli aspetti scientifici sia le implicazioni storico-culturali. Dopo una rassegna delle sorgenti di inquinanti, vengono analizzate le risposte di tipo fisiologico, metabolico, ecologico ed economico delle piante agrarie e forestali ai principali inquinanti gassosi e particellari, tra i quali l'ozono è di gran lunga il problema numero uno a livello mondiale. Ugualmente trattati sono i meccanismi di veicolamento da parte delle piante di elementi potenzialmente tossici (per esempio, metalli pesanti e radionuclidi) nella catena alimentare e anche le possibili conseguenze sugli animali e sulla salute umana. La ricca iconografia a colori, l'approccio didattico, gli aggiornamenti normativi nazionali e comunitari, così come la dettagliata trattazione di tematiche quali la fitotossicologia, l'ecologia, la patologia vegetale, il biomonitoraggio, l'educazione ambientale e la valutazione di impatto ambientale, rendono il testo un sussidio indispensabile per i laureandi e gli specializzandi nelle Facoltà di Agraria e di Scienze Biologiche, Ambientali e Naturali, per i tecnici e per tutti i professionisti e gli operatori che necessitano di una conoscenza completa dell'argomento.
