It describes in detail water resources, storage, cycling, ecosystem function of marine, freshwater lakes, rivers and other wetlands, biological and physicochemical characterisations, kinds and causes of pollution and control devices. It also describes in detail the atmospheric factor, air pollution due to industrial, domestic and other sources, global changes, ozone depletion and UV-B enhancement effects and about air pollution control technologies. Soil pollution, problems of solid wastes, soil erosion and conservation, radioactive pollution, noise pollution, laws and international efforts on pollution controls are described in different chapters.
Important topics of current interest like biological magnification, eutro- phication, ecotoxicology bioremediation, waste-water treatment, rising levels of CO2, CFCs, methane and other greenhouse gases are described in detail.

Environment Science Question Bank provides concise yet comprehensive coverage of a true concept and application-based questions to develop an in-depth understanding of the subject. The book, containing more than 6000 questions accompanied with answers,covers different aspects of environmental science,and provides necessary guidance to the students preparing for different academic and competitive examinations. Though the objective type questions judge the students on the basis of their ability to memorize, the majority of the question in this book have been designed to assess the candidate’s understanding of the subject.These questions–answers will gives the candidate a feel of the model questions and will help them to quickly grasp the subject comprehensively and systematically.
Environmental Biotechnology.
Any research and development project or any technological innovation have to be planned and executed by scientists and engineers. Any such enterprise will have to get prior clearance from ministry of environment or other statutory environment protection agency before it can take off. Environmental audit has been made compulsory for all industrial establishments in our country and many other countries in the world. Thus it is obvious that basic principles regarding environmental chemistry and pollution control form an essential component of science and engineering curriculum at undergraduate and post-graduate levels. This book is expected to fill the gap of a much needed reference cum text book on environmental chemistry for students of B.Sc and M.Sc Environmental Chemistry and M Tech. (Environmental Engineering) and for the practising chemical engineer mechanical engineer civil and public health engineer industrial chemist and research students involved in manufacturing or research and development with an interest.
We bring you a different kinds of books. You can carry this book where ever you want. It is easy to carry. It can be an ideal gift to yourself and to your loved ones. Care instruction keep away from fire.
This book is an effort to bring together, in a single volume, the core areas in environmental pollution studies, with quantitative physical/ biophysical principles and instrumental techniques. Contents of the book are organized under sections and sub-sections and topics in a systematic way. Each section comprises interrelated chapters. Several sections (each comprising several chapters) are devoted to particular systems, with interconnectivity between various sections and chapters. An overview of each section highlights the essential features of the chapters in that section with a common theme. List of abbreviations, appendices, glossary and index are included to facilitate the reader an easy access to concepts and technical terms. This book, with an integrated and quantitative approach towards the subject, would fulfill the needs of students and researchers in diverse fields in environmental science at the graduate and research levels in the university /academic institutions. It can also serve as a supplementary sourcebook for biophysics, physics, chemistry, biotechnology, life sciences and other subjects, whose converging interest is in environmental science.
Most chemical catalysts catalyse a wide range of reactions. They are not usually very selective. In contrast enzymes are usually highly selective catalyslng specific reactions only. This specificity is due to the shapes of the enzyme molecules. Nearly all known enzymes are proteins. Enzymes are needed almost in all biological processes to occur at significant rates in a cell. Modern biotechniques are utilised to improve microbial production strains to increase enzyme yields and to make minor amino acid changes that improve the functionality of the enzyme. Enzymes are involved in the formation of starch gluten hemicelluloses and lipids during ripening and are the key to dough fermentation and breadmaking since they degrade these polymers. Enzymes are also used in various other industries such as wine and brewing fish and meat processing textiles and laundry detergents pulp and paper and tanning. Enzymes play significant role in clinical analysis organic synthesis and bioremediation. Use of enzymes in diagnosis of disease is one of the important benefits derived from the intensive research in biochemistry. Enzymes have provided the basis for the field of clinical Chemistry. This textbook Enzymes Biotechnology makes an essential reading for all undergraduate and postgraduate students and teachers of bioengineering environment and life sciences and biotechnology. Researchers in analytical and instrumental techniques chemists and industrialists will also find it highly useful and informative both as a text and a reference.

This comprehensive laboratory manual teaches students taking their first course in petrography the techniques of describing and classifying rocks as well as how to apply those techniques to common igneous and metamorphic rocks. Essential features include , A listing of common minerals with their most important distinguishing optical properties, Over two hundred illustrations detailing the relation between optics and crystal morphology, An accompanying CD-ROM with color slides illustrating rock-forming minerals and the textures of rocks, many with text and audio annotations by the author, Descriptions of the textures and structures of igneous and metamorphic rocks, The most important properties of all the minerals compiled in an easy-to-access, full-color table. A chart for determining the approximate modal (Volume) percentage of minerals in rocks. The classification of igneous rocks used in the book is the one proposed by the International Union of Geological Sciences (lUGS) Subcommission of the Systematics of Igneous Rocks. A list of commonly used rock names-many not part of the lUGS classification-is keyed to this classification. Also, the widely used Irvine-Baragar classification of volcanic rocks is included.
