| Title | Catalysis by Metals : Les Houches School, March 19???29, 1996 |
| Author(s) | Renouprez, Albert Jean;Jobic, Herve Jobic |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1997. |
| Description | XV, 223 p. 162 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents the contributions from the winter school held at the Ecole de Physique des Houches in March 1996. They portray an evolution in catalysis by metals in several directions. The first domain is cooperation on emulation between theoretical chemistry and solid state physics leading to predictions of the reactivity of catalytic systems. The second domain which has become of primary importance is the abatement of pollution. The major achievement of catalysis in the past 10 years is the valorization of agricultural supplies. The book is a must for those who are concerned with catalysis, metals, physical techniques and catalyst reaction |

| Title | Evaluating Climate Chanage Action Plans : National Actions for International Commitment |
| Author(s) | White, James C |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 1996. |
| Description | 281 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The atmospheric scientists of the world are in general agreement that the threat of climate change is real, inevitable, and serious. The accumulation of greenhouse gases, principally CO from burning fossil fuels, is the main cause. 2 At the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro, 166 nations signed the Framework Convention on Climate Change and agreed to draw up plans to contain greenhouse gases at 1990 levels. Never in world history had so many nations agreed on anything. . Developing these plans has not been easy and no two countries have had the same circumstances and conditions to meet. Countries have not approached their problems in the same manner and many nations find the task almost impossible to solve under the ground rules set up in Rio. This volume contains the papers presented at a meeting organized by the Center for Environmental Information and held in Washington, D.C., November 30 to December 2, 1994. The principal aim of the meeting was to evaluate the U.S. and other national climate action plans which had been released a few weeks before. Specifically, these papers concentrate on an overview of the U.S. plan; the perspec?? tives of business, industry, electric utilities, and environmental organizations; mitigation actions in various plans; integrated assessment; an overview of plans from various nations; and the need to amend the convention. The meeting was sponsored and cosponsored by 35 governmental agencies, environ?? mental groups, industrial organizations, and educational institutions |

| Title | ECOtoxicology: Ecological Dimensions |
| Author(s) | Baird, D.J;Douben, P.E;Greig-Smith, P;Maltby, L |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1996. |
| Description | XII, 90 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Ecotoxicology is a relatively new scientific discipline. Indeed, it might be argued that it is only during the last 5-10 years that it has come to merit being regarded as a true science, rather than a collection of procedures for protecting the environment through management and monitoring of pollutant discharges into the environment. The term 'ecotoxicology' was first coined in the late sixties by Prof. Truhaut, a toxicologist who had the vision to recognize the importance of investigating the fate and effects of chemicals in ecosystems. At that time, ecotoxicology was considered a sub-discipline of medical toxicology. Subsequently, several attempts have been made to portray ecotoxicology in a more realistic light. Notably, both Moriarty (1988) and F. Ramade (1987) emphasized in their books the broad basis of ecotoxicology, encompassing chemical and radiation effects on all components of ecosystems. In doing so, they and others have shifted concern from direct chemical toxicity to humans, to the far more subtle effects that pollutant chemicals exert on natural biota. Such effects potentially threaten the existence of all life on earth. Although I have identified the sixties as the era when ecotoxicology was first conceived as a coherent subject area, it is important to acknowledge that studies that would now be regarded as ecotoxicological are much older |

| Title | In Situ Evaluation of Biological Hazards of Environmental Pollutants |
| Author(s) | Sandhu, Shabeg S;Lower, William R;de Serres, Frederick J;Suk, William A;Tice, Raymond R |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 1990. |
| Description | 290 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The study of the relationship between environmental pollution and human health is in its infancy. The number of substances and mixtures that have been identified in uncontrolled hazardous waste sites or that have been in?? advertently released into the environment is large and data on how thes~ substances are modified as they interact with one another as they migrate through soil, air, and water are limited. There are also limits on our un?? derstanding of how these substances may be ingested, inhaled, or absorbed by people. The complexity of possible interactions between biological, chemical, and physical components in a given environment makes it virtually impossible to evaluate the potential for adverse biological effects ade?? quately in the laboratory. Other, more comprehensive methods which provide realistic and interpretable results must be used. Many scientists believe that humans represent the ultimate sentinel species of a toxic exposure re?? sUlting from environmental pollution, however such exposures may also se?? verely impact environmental health. There exists a wide variety of organ?? isms in the natural environment that could be used to provide an early warning for potential human health effects as well as to indicate adverse ecological effects. The issue of effective utilization of sentinel species for environment?? al monitoring is a rapidly developing area of research which has grown in importance during the last decade |

| Title | Environmental Radon |
| Author(s) | Cothern, C.Richard;Smith Jr., James E |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 1987. |
| Description | XIII, 363 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This volume is intended for the professional who is a newcomer to the area of environmental radon. It marks the first time that chapters on these subjects have been brought together in a single volume, and it is arranged so that anyone with some basic university-level chemistry and physics can develop a clear understanding of the different aspects involved. The volume is intended to serve as a supplementary textbook in public health, environmental, and health physics courses. It also can be used by the professional to get "up to speed" in this rapidly evolving field. The chapters are not necessarily a discussion of the latest research in this fast-moving field, but are intended to bring the reader to a level at which he can easily understand the current literature. At the back of this volume the reader will find the references for the individual chapters, a general list of reading materials, a glossary, an appendix describing the equations for radioactive decay for a series of progeny, a table of often used conversion factors, and the addresses and brief biographies of the authors and editors. Both historical and SI (International System) units are used throughout the book to provide information for the widest range of readers. Thanks go to Tom Hess for the idea for this volume and to Jessica Barron for help in editing |

| Title | Genetic Toxicology of Complex Mixtures |
| Author(s) | Waters, Michael D;Daniel, F.Bernhard;Lewtas, Joellen;Moore, Martha M;Nesnow, Stephen |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 1990. |
| Description | 384 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Contained in this volume are the proceedings of the international conference on the "Genetic Toxicology of Complex Mixtures," held from July 4-7, 1989, in Washington, DC. This meeting was a satellite of the "Fifth International Conference on Environmental Mutagens" and the seventh in a biennial series of conferences on "Short-term Bioassays in the Analysis of Complex Environmental Mixtures. " Our central objective in calling together key researchers from around the world was to extend our knowledge of the application of the methods of genetic toxicology and analytical chemistry in the evaluation of chemical mixtures as they exist in the environment. This conference emphasized the study of genotoxicants in air and water, and the assessment of human exposure and cancer risk. The latest strategies and methodologies for biomonitoring of genotoxicants (including transformation products) were described in the context of the ambient environment. Source character?? ization and source apportionment were discussed as an aid to understand?? ing the origin and relative contribution of various kinds of complex mix?? tures to the ambient environment. Similarly, investigations of genotoxi?? cants found in the indoor environment (sidestream cigarette smoke) and in drinking water (chlorohydroxyfuranones) were given special attention in terms of their potential health impacts. New molecular techniques were described to enable more precise quantitation of internal dose and dose?? to-target tissues. The emphasis of presentations on exposures/effects assessment was on integrated quantitative evaluation of human exposure and potential health effects |

| Title | Nitroarenes : Occurrence, Metabolism, and Biological Impact |
| Author(s) | Howard, Paul C;Hecht, Stephen S;Beland, Frederick A |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 1990. |
| Description | IX, 333 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Prior to 1979, consideration of the problem of the carcinogenicity of the aromatic amine class of chemicals took place primarily in poster sessions and symposia of annual meetings of the American Association for Cancer Research and analogous international associations. In November 1979 the first meeting concerned with the aromatic amines was held in Rockville, Haryland under primary sponsorship of the National Cancer Institute. The proceedings from this meeting were published as Monograph 58 of the Journal of the National Cancel' Institute in 1981. The second meeting in this series, the Second International Conference on N-Substituted Aryl Compounds, was held in March/April of 1982 in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The National Cancer Institute and The National Center for Toxicological Research were the primary sponsors of this meeting. The proceedings were published as Volume 49 of the journal En-vil'onmental Health Perspectives in 1983. The third meeting in this series was held in April of 1987 at the Dearborn Hyatt in Dearborn, Michigan. The principal sponsor of this meeting was the Heyer L. Pre ntis Comprehensive Cancer Center of Metropolitan Detroit. The proceedings, Carcinogenic and Mutagenic Responses to Aromatic Amines and Nitroal'enes, were published in 1987 by Elsevier Press. The fourth meeting was held in Cleveland, Ohio, on July 15-19, 1989 |

| Title | Produced Water : Technological/Environmental Issues and Solutions |
| Author(s) | Ray, James P;Engelhardt, F. Rainier |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 1992. |
| Description | 632 p. 40 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book represents the proceedings of the first major international meeting dedi?? cated to discuss environmental aspects of produced water. The 1992 International Pro?? duced Water Symposium was held at the Catamaran Hotel, San Diego, California, USA, on February 4-7, 1992. The objectives of the conference were to provide a forum where scientists, regulators, industry, academia, and the enviromental community could gather to hear and discuss the latest information related to the environmental considerations of produced water discharges. It was also an objective to provide a forum for the peer review and international publication of the symposium papers so that they would have wide availability to all parties interested in produced water environmental issues. Produced water is the largest volume waste stream from oil and gas production activities. Onshore, well over 90% is reinjected to subsurface formations. Offshore, and in the coastal zone, most produced water is discharged to the ocean. Over the past several years there has been increasing concern from regulators and the environmental commu?? nity. There has been a quest for more information on the composition, treatment systems and chemicals, discharge characteristics, disposal options, and fate and effects of the produced water. As so often happens, much of this information exists in the forms of reports and internal research papers. This symposium and publication was intended to make this information available, both for open discussion at the conference, and for peer review before publication |
