Explains “green” or “clean” technologies, and explores the growth of new technologies aimed at protecting, monitoring or reducing the negative effect of technologies on the ecosystem and resource consumption. The book also discusses how technology profoundly affects society, the economy, and the environment.

This multi-authored book – from some of the leading researchers and practitioners on this topic – is a distinctive look at how to maximize profitability through environmental compliance in the plastics supply chain, a topic of great and ever-growing interest in the industry. This distinguished assembly of authors from across the global – and from both industry and academia – provides the reader with a distinctive perspective into this topic. Plastics and the Environment provides readers with a look into the environmental issues of plastics products throughout the complete product lifecycle – from material selection to product design to recyclying. Topics covered include Plastics Materials and Sustainability, Environmental Design for Plastics Products, Energy Efficiency, Plastics, Recycling and Technology, and Life Cycle Assessment.

Globally, only 1% of total water resource is available as freshwater. Our usable water resources are likely to be exhausted within a century because of increasing world population and increasing water pollution. A knowledge of water pollution is essential for everybody: The covering fundamental concepts of water pollution is not available.
Water pollution is presently being taught in all universities and educational institutes at undergraduate and postgraduate level. The author thoroughly explores the important concepts of water pollution such as general aspects of water pollution, toxicology of major water pollutants, chemical speciation and its importance, water-quality parameters and standards, methodology of sampling of water and wastewater, methodology of water and wastewater analysis. The last chapter discusses the principles and methods of wastewater treatment.
All of these topics have been discussed in a simple and lucid way. References and questions are provided at the end of each chapter. The book will be useful as a textbook for undergraduate science and engineering students as well as postgraduates environmental science/chemistry/environmental engineering/civil engineering students.

The growth of human population combined with the irregularity in precipitation and water availability may restrict even further the access to water in certain regions of the world. This problem is made more severe by anthropogenic activities that affect the quality of the water available.
The objective of the meeting was to provide an opportunity for the scientists, experts and practitioners to exchange their knowledge and experiences. Only by comparisons of the performance of the current technologies and practices the best platforms can be selected as the basis for future improved strategies. It becomes apparent that the goal of sustainable water resources management is not static; it changes as the conditions in the world alter due to, for instance to growing population and climate change. Therefore the developments in the field must respond with the same agility. New ways of thinking are required in order to successfully predict future trends and prepare adequate sustainable solutions.
The presentations published in this book are grouped into the following sections: Water Management and Planning; River Basin Management; Urban Water Management; Hydrological Modelling; Hydraulic Engineering; Water Quality; Pollution Control; Irrigation Issues; Special Session on Sharing our Water Resources; Flood Risk; Waste Water Treatment and Management; Waste Water Treatment and Re-use; Water Resources and Economics; The Right to Water.

The Handbook of Environment and Waste Management, Volume 1, Air and Water Pollution Control, is a comprehensive compilation of topics that are at the forefront of many technical advances and practices in air and water pollution control. These include air pollution control, water pollution control, water treatment, wastewater treatment, industrial waste treatment and small scale wastewater treatment.

Zero Waste Engineering discusses the basic concept of zero waste, ways to achieve zero waste, illegal dumpsites and its effects. It includes different wastes and the environmental problem associated with them. This book also discusses about the zero-waste engineering and its modelling methods, producer responsibility, the way the zero waste benefits our environment, zero waste benefits our economy. This chapter also provides the reader with insights on reasons for implementing zero waste engineering. The various developments in zero waste, the earliest initiatives in it and other related specific innovations in other countries have also been discussed. It also talks about waste to energy technologies. The readers can learn about the best waste management practices and innovations across the globe. The various sustainable technologies for zero waste have also been discussed. The various challenges and opportunities in zero waste management like moving the cities towards complete zero waste management have also been mentioned.

WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT covers various methods of water treatment and methods of processing water with minimum effluents. The focus is on utilization of treated water and biological treatment of waste water. New technologies and products for filtration have been dealt with a clear perception. The book has 22 articles which will be handy for quick reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
