Chemicals as Intentional and Accidental Global Environmental Threats (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Chirila, Elisabeta

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This multidisciplinary book presents a critical assessment of our knowledge of chemical threats to environmental security, with special reference to prevention of chemical releases, rapid detection, risk assessment and effective management of emergency situations and long-term consequences of chemical releases. The technologies evaluated concern mainly prevention and management of both intentional and accident releases of chemicals into the environment. The book features contributors from a range of relevant scientific fields.
