Hazardous Gases: Risk Assessment on Environment and Human Health examines all relevant routes of exposure, inhalation, skin absorption and ingestion, and control measures of specifics hazardous gases resulting from workplace exposure from industrial processes, traffic fumes, and the degradation of waste materials and how they impacts the health and environment of workers. The book examines the risk assessment and effect of poisonous gases on the environment human health. It also covers necessary emergency guidelines, safety measures, physiological impact, hazard control measures, handling and storage of hazardous gases. Each chapter is formatted to include an introduction, historical background, physicochemical properties, physiological role discussing mechanisms of toxicity, its effect on human health as well as environment, followed by case studies and recent research on toxic gases. Hazardous Gases: Risk Assessment on Environment and Human Health is a helpful resource for academics and researchers in toxicology, occupational health and safety, and environmental sciences as well as those in the field who work to assess and mitigate the impact of toxic gases on the work environment and the health of the workforce.

Emphasizes the environmental monitoring in the workplace of hazardous materials Includes all relevant storage and handling information required for detailing all personnel on the hazards and risks from the substances with which they work Offers practical examples and case studies related to toxic gases and their impact on health

Millets, popularly known as Shree Anna, are now gaining worldwide recognition. Besides their nutritional benefits, millets have a short cultivation period, less water requirement, high adaptability towards adverse climatic conditions, and better productivity on marginal lands than the major cereal crops. Millets based products are in high demand globally because of their enormous health promoting attributes. The primary ingredient in millet is its starch, which makes up over 70% of the grain. Starch is one of the major components responsible for the structure of final food products. Product-specific properties can be achieved by modifying the structure of starches. Information deficit on millet starch has undermined its potential utilization in food and other industries. Millets and millet starch: Chemical Composition, functional modification, and applications incorporate information about the geographical distribution, cultivation, storage, processing, bioactive compounds, health benefits and industrial uses of Millets. The book sheds light on the method of starch isolation from millets, and the method applied for tailoring millet starch functionalities for their utilization in industries. The specific roles of bioactive compounds of nutri-cereals in disease prevention are discussed in depth. Millets based food products are being increasingly developed due to their gluten free nature, and in this book, you will find comprehensive information on millets based food products. Researchers and product developers working on millets will find useful information on recent developments in the production, cultivation, and potential industrial applications of nutri-cereals. It presents thorough information regarding the industrial potential of some lesser known or forgotten cereals starches and their role in maintaining good health, achieving food security. Researchers, stakeholders, students, and farmers would find this book helpful in learning about millets and their applications. Experts in the area have compiled it and can serve as a handy document for the entrepreneurs.

A timely overview of techniques for involving biological organisms in the remediation of polluted ecosystems As a result of worldwide industry, urbanization, and population growth, many harmful organic and inorganic pollutants have been introduced into the environment. With bioremediation, we can use fungi, bacteria, and plants—along with their secondary metabolites—to clean up areas that have been affected by industrial and commercial activities. Biotechnology in Environmental Remediation presents a thorough consideration of the most important biologically-based remediation methods in use today. Environmental biotechnology is a more sustainable alternative to chemical and mechanical remediation methods, which explains the rapidly growing popularity of these techniques. This edited volume summarizes our current understanding of bioremediation approaches and presents research outcomes from a diverse selection of geographies and ecosystems. Chapters cover remediation techniques for pollutants affecting soil, water, air, and sediments, as well as tools for addressing these issues, including tools for assessment and monitoring. Uniquely, Biotechnology in Environmental Remediation emphasizes the latest findings on the use of secondary metabolites in bioremediation. Other topics covered include chemical sustainability, nanotechnology, and biofuels. Readers will gain an understanding of issues including: How biological organisms and their secondary metabolites are currently being used in environmental remediation projects worldwideNew applications for phytomolecules, lichens, nanoparticles, rhizobacteria, and other technologies, as well as future directions for bioremediationThe steps in the process of biotechnology-driven remediation, including detection, investigation, assessment, cleanup, redevelopment, and monitoringRemediation of petroleum hydrocarbons, algal carbon sequestration, wastewater management, and the role of fatty acid and proteins in remediationThe investigations in this book provide important knowledge for researchers in biotechnology, ecology, environmental science, and related disciplines. Additionally, policymakers and NGOs with an interest in remediating environmental contaminants will gain valuable context. Biotechnology in Environmental Remediation is a foundation for future research on biotechnological interventions for a clean planet.
