Nanopesticides Nanoherbicides and Nanofertilizers Formulations and Applications

Nanopesticides Nanoherbicides and Nanofertilizers Formulations and Applications

Nanopesticides Nanoherbicides and Nanofertilizers: Formulations and Applications demonstrates the potential for nanomaterials to revolutionize modern agriculture to become more sustainable. A team of expert scientists explain how the nanoformulation of traditionally used herbicides fertilizers and pesticides can protect large-scale crops from unwanted weeds and pests as well as from the environmental side effects that are caused by the bulk application of chemicals. This book demonstrates how nanomaterials such as hydroxyapatite clay minerals zeolites and polyacrylic acid have been successfully used to develop fertilizers that promote a slower release of chemicals due to the unique properties of nanomaterials. Their use in lower concentrations helps in decreasing the toxicity to non-targeted organisms as well as lowering the risk of environmental degradation. FEATURES: Categorically discusses the formulations and applications of nanopestides nanoherbicides and nanofertilizers as well as their impact on the environment Presents chapters on patent landscape environmental acceptability and environmental risks Addresses degradation of nanoparticles as well expected toxicity and drawbacks of nanomaterial-based pesticides herbicides and fertilizers This book is essential reading for researchers and professionals working in the fields of biotechnology nanomaterials and agricultural chemistry. | Nanopesticides Nanoherbicides and Nanofertilizers Formulations and Applications

Geology and Environment In Britain and Ireland

Geology and Environment In Britain and Ireland

A complete introductory text on an increasingly popular subject Geology and Environment in Britain and Ireland aims to provide suitably broad coverage for students requiring a treatment clearly foucused on familiar examples but retaining a global perspective. The book summarizes for Earth and environmental scientists the ways in which geology relates to the natural environmentand to the humand activites that it supports. The natural environment is more than the oceans the atmosphere and the diversity of the land surface. It extends below the ground and stretches back in time through the Earth's history. These environmental dimensions are the concern of geology. First the book summarizes the geological influences on society through control of landscape and human geography and through the threats posed by hazards such as landslides subsidence and earhquakes. Next the many Earth resources that support human activity are described: land water construction materials minerals coal oil and gas. How are they formed or replenished? Which resources are are sustainable for use over more than the immediate geological future? Thirdly the impacts of human activity an the Earth are examined - the results of extracting geological resources of intentionally engineering the environment and of carelessly polluting land and underground water supplies. Perhaps most serious of all is atmospheric pollution caused by burning geological fuels threatening global change on scales only familiar from the geological record. This book is published at a pivotal point in the history of geology. Scientists who for a century and a half have been preoccupied with finding Earth resources are increasingly being asked where on Earth to dispose of the effluents from using them. Geology and Environment in Britain and Ireland provides a comapct abundantly illustrated summary of both sides of this dile
