This text examines the effects of energy, minerals, manufacturing and waste disposal on the environment and how these might be changed. It discusses present problems and possible future solutions, looking at the hazards of chemical industry and the issues raised by radioactive wastes. |
| Synopsis: |
The third of four volumes on environmental issues, this text concentrates on major factors in the modern technological society - energy, minerals, manufacturing, waste disposal - their environmental effects, and how these might be changed. Nine authors contribute to seven chapters. The first three chapters deal with energy - principles, effects of present policies and more sustainable futures. The next two chapters consider mineral resources and the effects of mining and processing. The impact of manufacturing, particularly the hazards of the chemical industry, and methods of reducing them, follow. Finally, waste disposal is represented by a discussion of the particular political issues raised by radioactive wastes. Student activities are provided. |
