Zebra Mussels and Aquatic Nuisance Species
(Zebra Mussel and Aquatic Nuisance Species compiles data o...)
Zebra Mussel and Aquatic Nuisance Species compiles data on the ecology of aquatic nuisance species and offers the latest ideas and methods on their control and elimination. The sweeping coverage includes contributions from researchers, engineers, public officials, and interested citizens. Devided into four parts the book pays special attention to the incursion of nuisance species via the ballast water of ships. Part one offers a global perspective on the nature, transport, control, and regulation of numerous nonindigenous nuisance species. Part two describes their ecology, effects, and environmental impacts in various freshwater habitats. Part three conveys the results of research and some economic evaluation of nuisance species control methods. Part four addresses technology transfer, education, outreach, and related sociological issues. Zebra Mussels and Aquatic Nuisance Species is a thorough, well-referenced, and illustrated look at the growing problem of non-indigenous species pollution. It offers scientific data and analysis, and a perspective on the legal and international issues involved. The articles present repeated and compelling data that increases awareness and inspires action. Features

Chemical Deicers and the Environment
(Chemical Deicers and the Environment provides a complete ...)
Chemical Deicers and the Environment provides a complete discussion of chemical deicer technology and history in the United States and Canada. The book describes engineering applications, maintenance procedures, economic evaluations, in addition to environmental problems and concerns relative to the use of chemical deicing. It also provides a technical appraisal of the latest technology to stimulate further research and discussion directed toward achieving a more integrated approach for the application of new deicers that will protect motor vehicles, highways and infrastructures, and the environment. Chemical Deicers and the Environment will be a useful reference volume for scientists, legislators, transportation engineers, environmentalists, consultants, and concerned individuals interested in learning about the economic and environmental advantages and disadvantages of today's chemical deicers.
