Full Description
The Science of Global Warming Remediation examines the workings of a complex chemical system using concepts such as chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and oxidation/reduction. It focuses on preventing environmental deterioration as well as using environmental chemistry for environmental cleanup or remediation. Further, it describes how to utilize mechanical, chemical, and biological methods to detoxify contaminated land or water. The book also considers how environmental legislation aims to modify human behavior so as to reduce or eliminate the environmental threats identified through science.
Features:
Presents multiple methods for water treatment
Explains the physiological dangers of exposure to various toxic materials
Illustrates the mechanisms of major partitioning systems and sinks for carbon dioxide
Examines the mechanics of global warming and the potential long-term effects
Provides step-by-step solutions to empower individuals to act locally
