Hardcover. Condizione: As New. 1st Edition. Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into a natural environment that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the ecosystem i.e. physical systems or living organisms. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light. Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants. Pollution is often classed as point source or non-point source pollution. The Blacksmith Institute issues an annual list of the world's worst polluted places. Pollution became a popular issue after World War II, due to radio-active fallout from atomic warfare and testing.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. 1st Edition. This introduction to Global Climate Change explains very briefly what has been happening to the world's climate and why, and what is projected to happen in the future. While this report focuses on climate change impacts in the United States and other countries in the world, understanding these changes and their impacts requires an understanding of the global climate system. Many changes have been observed in global climate over the past century. The nature and causes of these changes have been comprehensively chronicled in a variety of recent reports, such as those by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the U.S. Climate Change Science Program. This section does not intend to duplicate these comprehensive efforts, but rather to provide a brief synthesis, and to integrate more recent work with the assessments of the IPCC, CCSP and others.

Water pollution is a major global problem which requires ongoing evaluation and revision of water resource policy at all levels. It has been suggested that it is the leading worldwide cause of deaths and diseases and that it accounts for the deaths of more than 14,000 people everyday. An estimated 700 million Indians have no access to a proper toilet, and 1,000 Indian children die of diarrheal sickness every day. Some 90% of China's cities suffer from some degree of water pollution and nearly 500 million people lack access to safe drinking water. In addition to the acute problems of water pollution in developing countries, developed countries continue to struggle with pollution problems as well. In the most recent national report on water quality in the United States, 45 percent of assessed stream miles, 47 percent of assessed lake acres and 32 percent of assessed bay and estuaries square miles were classified as 'Polluted'.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. 1st Edition. Making better seed varieties has everything to do with better genes. These genes are the codes of instruction found in every living thing codes that tell organisms to make substances for growth, survival and many other functions or traits. Plant biotechnology has enabled researchers to take beneficial genes from selected organisms and introduce them into plants thus making better varieties. Some examples include biotechnology crops that are resistant to pests more nutritious or contribute to end products of other industries such as biofuels. Its not easy. Making biotechnology seeds available to farmers across the world involves a long costly process. (jacket).
