This practical reference examines the structure and properties of the atmosphere, including listings of compounds in clouds, fog, rain, snow, and ice; a listing of compounds detected in the stratosphere; and a compendium of compounds in indoor air. An introduction to carcinogenicity and bioassay of atmospheric compounds is also presented. Readers will find the extensive cross-referencing especially useful--compounds can be located by chemical type, name, CAS registry number, or source.

Industrial ecology is a new way of looking at economic and environmental interactions. As applied to manufacturing, it requires familiarity with industrial activites, environmental processes, and societal interaction. Presents practical approaches to designing for the environment and life cycle assessment methodologies. Demonstrates how to evaluate one product or process with respect to others. Highlights prospects for the future. For those whose background is either industrial or environmental, or those interested in learning how to put into practice the idea of performing industrial activities while keeping environmental consequences in check.

Using the automobile as a case study of one of the industries most attuned to the concept of industrial ecology (i.e., the means by which humanity can deliberately and rationally approach and maintain a desirable carrying capacity, given continued economic, cultural and technological evolution), this book provides a general introduction to how to design for environment — a key component of the repertoire of the 21st century engineer. Focuses on resources, energy, and capital as factors to be optimized. This book outlines a systems view in which one seeks to optimize the total materials cycle— from virgin material, to finished material, to component, to product, to obsolete product, and to ultimate disposal. It shows that an industrial system must be viewed not in isolation from its surrounding systems, but in concert with them. For industrial, mechanical, and environmental engineers.

This book examines the question of what makes one design environmentally preferable to another. Graedel discusses data and analyzes the streamlined life-cycle assessment process in the context of the goals of a particular process of product. Discusses environmental objectives as the basis of life cycle assessment. Impact assessment determined in the degree to which a given product or process features the natural earth system budget. Ends with a hypothetical discussion of what an environmentally perfect product might look like. For chemical, mechanical, and civil engineers.

Streamlined Life-Cycle Assessment

This text provides current, comprehensive coverage of the Earth and its atmosphere as a system. It is a textbook bringing together this complex, diverse, and developing body of knowledge. Graedel and Crutzen examine the process of global change within a broad historical perspective, and offer an account of the physics and chemistry of Earth and its atmosphere, one that underlines the importance of the interactions among biological, physical, chemical, and social processes. Their analysis encompasses ozone holes, air quality, chemical trace species budgets, techniques for climate modelling, and the maintenance of a sustainable biosphere. This text is ideal for students on courses in Earth system science, global change science, atmospheric chemistry, or climate change, and as a supplementary text for those in ecology or meteorology.

In Atmosphere, Climate, and Change, world renowned experts on the chemistry of the atmosphere Thomas E. Graedel and Paul J. Crutzen take us behind the scenes of local climate change to reveal the workings of the atmosphere in its larger context, as a component of Earth as a system. By exploring the causes of long-term climate change and the sources and pitfalls of scientific prediction, they give us a new understanding of what changes are likely to occur in the future, and what can be done about them.
