Pollution Prevention and Control: Human Health and Environmental Quality 1 st edition

1st International Conference of Environmental Pollution on Human Health 2015

Conference

14th to 15th February 2015
Malang, East Java, Indonesia

Our first international conference focused on “Biomolecular Approach of Particulate Matter Effects on Human Health and Its Prevention using Natural Products”. It is in our agenda to host this event in every 2 years.

 

Preface
This book introduces the general strategy of design, the natural environmental cycles and how human activities interrupt and control them, toxicity and risk assessment for the protection of human and environmental health, the fate of pollutants in the environment, and a review of U.S. and international laws and regulations. Understanding these broad environmental issues leads to better engineering. Put in more simple terms, it is about a very simple idea from Tom Chapin’s children’s song, ‘Someone’s Gonna Use It After You’, but the issue is not childish or trivial. When you stand at the sink, did you ever think About the water flowing down the drain?
...
Someone’s gonna use it after you....

This lyric wonderfully captures the essence of the environmental ethic. Our actions can protect or destroy. We are reminded of it daily. In the past few days the New York Times has reported that the daily average atmospheric carbon dioxide exceeded 400 ppm for the first time, and the High Plains aquifer is so depleted by water mining that farmers in Kansas face water shortages. More tragic is the report that diarrhea kills an estimated 900, 000 children each year, mostly because of just four microorganisms that can easily be inactivated in drinking water. These problems are not really ‘news’. The warning signs have been evident for years. We know how to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. We know when aquifers are being over used. We know how to save lives by improving public health through clean water and better diet. This book will be followed by four books about the design of pollution control processes and integrated systems that are widely used in water pollution control, air pollution control, and solid waste control.
