The Toxicity of Environmental Pollutants
Given the widespread presence of chemical compounds in the environment and their effects on organisms, there is an increasing need to better understand the mechanisms underlying their toxicity. This book brings together 13 chapters on a variety of topics from different areas of research in environmental pollutants toxicology. While it illustrates the toxic effects of several environmental contaminants on humans and the biota, it also introduces methodologies for assessing environmental contamination as well as remediation techniques.
Membrane Technologies for Heavy Metal Removal from Water
This book offers lucid treatment of fundamental concepts related to potential applications and prospects of different membranes for wastewater decontamination by removing heavy metals. Divided into four sections, it provides an overview of different sources of water contamination, their impacts on human health and the environment, and compares traditional methods used to nullify these impacts. Further, it covers different mature membrane technologies such as polymeric membranes, poly-ceramic membranes, carbon-based membranes and many more, followed by pertinent case studies. Features: Focuses on the removal of heavy metals using membrane-based technologies. Discusses pertinent criteria to select suitable membranes. Includes feasibility studies and applications of different mature and emerging membranes. Describes heavy metals' occurrence and transport in an aqueous system with an overview of the adverse effects. Reviews challenges and opportunities associated with using different membranes. This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in materials science, water engineering and wastewater treatment.
Advances in Treating Textile Effluent
The treatment of textile wet processing effluent to meet stringent governmental regulations is a complex and continually evolving process. Treatment methods that were perfectly acceptable in the past may not be suitable today or in the future. This book provides new ideas and processes to assist the textile industry in meeting the challenging requirements of treating textile effluent.
Toxicology Studies
The increased exposure to toxins, toxicants and novel drugs has promoted toxicology to become one of the most important areas of research with emerging innovative toxicity testing protocols, techniques, and regulation being placed. Since the bioactivation of many toxins and toxicants and its consequences on human health are not clearly known, this book offers a quick overview of cellular toxicology through the cell, drug and environmental toxicity. This book does not strive to be comprehensive but instead offers a quick overview of principle aspects of toxins and toxicants in order to familiarize the key principles of toxicology. The book is divided into three main sections,; the first one discusses the role of mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress and mitochondrial drug development. The second and third sections bring light to forensic toxicology and drug poisoning followed by environmental toxicity.
Toxicologia forense
Estabelecida por volta da metade do século XIX para investigar casos de envenenamento, a toxicologia forense estendeu gradualmente seu escopo a muitas outras áreas: direção sob a influência de drogas e álcool, crimes facilitados por drogas, testes de drogas no ambiente de trabalho, controle de dopagem, identificação e quantificação de drogas de abuso em materiais apreendidos, avaliação do uso de agentes de guerra química etc. Todas essas áreas foram tratadas em capítulos separados deste livro, a partir de uma perspectiva que leva em consideração a natureza multidisciplinar da toxicologia forense, incluindo competências de vários campos diferentes do conhecimento humano, co...
Bioremediation of Environmental Toxicants
Bioremediation of Environmental Toxicants: Toxicants, Sources, Mechanism, Impact on Human Health, and Bioremediation Approaches provides insight into the nature of environmental toxicants, the impact on human health, and their bioremediation approaches, viz. nanotechnology, microorganism, and phytoremediation. Various environmental toxicants such as pesticides, heavy metals, plastic and microplastic waste, dyes used in industries, colorants, corrosive agents, and biomedical waste show different levels of mechanism of toxicity, possessing a significant threat to human health as well as the stability of ecosystems. To decontaminate the environment from these toxic compounds a low-cost effectiv...
Elitesklavereien Und Profifußball
Das Buch untersucht in einem globalhistorischen und komparativen Ansatz die Produktion und den Einsatz von Elitekörpern. Der Begriff Elitesklaverei bezeichnet die Verschleppung, jahrelange Ausbildung und Disziplinierung von Kindern, die dann in hohen und höchsten Positionen eingesetzt wurden und teils große Reichtümer besitzen konnten. Mit diesem Begriff werden die (elitären) asymmetrischen Abhängigkeitsverhältnisse von Palasteunuchen, Konkubinen, Militärsklaven und anderen beschrieben. Auf der Basis einer Arbeitsdefinition widmet sich die Arbeit potenziell neuen Formen von Elitesklaverei. Mittels eines dispositiv-analytischen Vorgehens wurden daher die asymmetrischen Abhängigkeitsverhältnisse des Elitesports, speziell des Fußballs, untersucht und mit den identifizierten Merkmalen von Elitesklaverei verglichen, um Kontinuitäten und Diskontinuitäten sichtbar zu machen. Das Ergebnis der Studie ist auch eine Aufforderung zu einer kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit den Auswirkungen auf Körper und Lebensläufe von Kindern heute.

Toxicity Assessment
This book collects protocols from different areas of knowledge to assist in the identification of toxic effects exerted by different xenobiotics. At the same time as classical techniques are presented, modern techniques with alternative models to the use of animals are also presented. Given the ever-increasing exposure to different compounds and their effects on population health, the assessment of multiple endpoints is of utmost importance for better risk assessment, and this collection addresses that need. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Toxicity Assessment: Methods and Protocols aims to serve researchers in this vast field of science as they seek to better understand the mechanisms of action of different xenobiotics.
