Beschreibungen
<span>Stringent environment and safety regulations, growing awareness among masses, new technological innovations, strong market competition, rapidly changing economic conditions, shrinking raw material sources and improved product demands have been key factors in continuous demand for improvements in the quality of measurement and for development of new methods based on physical, chemical and biological principles and effects. The purpose of instrumentation is to obtain the requisite information leading to the successful completion of the process. A wide range of instruments are used to measure different parameters with the goal of improving system productivity, reliability, safety, optimization and stability. Mathematical models are additional tools that could help examine economic, environmental and ecological impacts of process control and resource conservation strategies and thus aid decision makers in formulating cost effective management policies. The present volume looks into various instrumentation, modelling and analysis tools available for environmental applications. A complete list of the topics covered in this volume is as follows: o Automated environmental monitoring based on flow analysis techniques o Automated microanalyzer for in-situ and on-line applications o Using geoprocessing as a tool to assess the environmental contamination o Radiochemical procedures applied to low-level environmental samples o A nuclear analytical chemistry technique: the neutron activation analysis o Novel technologies for decentralized lead detection and analysis o Mineralogy and geochemistry of fly ashes from coal combustion o Overview of spectroscopic techniques o Spectroscopic techniques in analysis of environmental pollutant o Radiochemical neutron activation analysis for improving the analytical separations o Current trends in biosensors for environmental applications o Recent advances in biological devices and techniques o Concept, tools and applications of metagenomics o Electrochemical techniques for rapid determination of pesticides in environment o Modelling of copper variability in phytoremediated contaminated soils o Mathematical modelling of environmental problems This volume contains 16 articles from 35 researchers and/or academicians representing 10 nations, namely Brazil, Egypt, France, India, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland, Spain and Uruguay giving an overview of the various research activities being carried out in different parts of the world in the field of Instrumentation, Modelling and Analysis of environmental problems and pollutants. </span>
<span>Dr. Bhola Ram Gurjar is a Professor in Civil (Environmental Engineering) and Head of Centre for Transportation Systems (CTRANS) at India’s premier technological institution, Indian Institute of Technology – IIT Roorkee. He holds a PhD in the area of Environmental Risk Analysis from India’s premier technological institution I.I.T. Delhi followed by Postdoctoral research at the Max Planck Institute in Mainz (Germany). He has about 25 years’ progressive professional experience in industry, teaching, training, research, and consultancy. Professor Gurjar has (co)authored / (co)edited nine books and 140 publications in total. He has received several awards and fellowships including the prestigious Advanced Postdoctoral Research Fellowship of the Max Planck Society (Germany) (2002-2005) and UKIERI Grant to visit Univ. of Surrey (U.K.) (Dec. 2012-Jan. 2013). Based on his outstanding research work at the MPIC – Mainz, the Scientific Steering Committee of the global change SysTem for Analysis, Research and Training (START), Washington, D.C., U.S.A., honored him with the 2004 START Young Scientist Award. He has received the American Society of Civil Engineers’ State of the Art of Civil Engineering Award for the year 2014 on the co-edited book “Climate Change Modeling, Mitigation, and Adaptation”. He is also co-recipient of The Nawab Zain Yar Jung Bahadur Memorial Medal (best research paper award) from Environmental Engineering Division of The Institution of Engineers (India), Kolkata, for the year 1995–96. The Institution of Engineers (India)’s National Design and Research Forum (NDRF) has awarded him the National Design Award for Environmental Engineering 2011. Prof. Gurjar is fellow and life member of several professional bodies and organizations and serves them actively. For example, Prof. Gurjar has served the Roorkee Local Centre of The Institution of Engineers (India) as Honorary Secretary and Chairman from 2010-2012 and 2012-2014, respectively. Recently, recognizing his significant contribution in the discipline of Environmental Engineering, the Environmental Division Board of the Institution of Engineers (India) has conferred on him the Award of Eminent Environmental Engineer during the Inaugural Session of 31st National Convention of Environmental Engineers held on 6th November, 2015 in Chandigarh, India. He has also received The Institution of Engineers (India) Uttarakhand State Centre’s Eminent Engineers Award – 2014. The award was conferred by the Hon. Chief Minister of Uttarakhand on 3rd February 2016 in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. Dr. Gurjar is among the leading academics and researchers who have worked extensively in the area of environmental science and engineering specially focused on air and water pollution, and environmental quality and health risk assessment, which is reflected in his several highly cited research papers published on these themes.</span>
