This book presents an overview of the techniques available today to remove arsenic contamination, pollutants, and species from water. Traditionally applied techniques for removal of arsenic pollutants/species, including oxidation, coagulation-flocculation, and membrane techniques. Furthermore, recent progress has been made on the utility of various nanoparticles for the extraction of contaminated water. Arsenic contamination affects the quality of water resources worldwide as a result of human activities (pesticides and other uses). Due to the insufficiency of water treatment facilities in developing countries, oral exposure to chemical toxicants through drinking water is a health threat. Arsenic is a mobile element with a crustal abundance of 1.8 mg kg-1 and can travel in different components of the environment, including air, soil, and water before entering into its ultimate sink, that is, bottom sediments and sea. Arsenic may enter groundwater from both geogenic and anthropogenic sources and primarily exists in inorganic form as oxy-anions. Groundwater is relatively more vulnerable to arsenic contamination from geothermal inputs, including the weathering and dissolution of arsenic-bearing rocks and minerals. Arsenic mobility is enhanced in subsurface anoxic conditions, making groundwater more vulnerable to arsenic contamination. Ingestion of groundwater-laden arsenic may cause carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health ailments. Chronic oral exposure ≤ 50 µg L-1 of arsenic can cause skin lesions, skin cancer, melanosis, hyperkeratosis, hypertension, gangrene, cardiovascular problems, black foot disease, neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease, restrictive lung disease, bladder cancer, lung cancer etc.Hence, specific water treatment processes are required to meet anticipated more severe water quality standards. A better understanding of currently available processes is necessary to develop economical, efficient and effective methods for arsenic removal. Arsenic can be coated, adsorbed using a wide range of mineral and organic or can be directly rejected by membrane processes such as reverse osmosis and nanofiltration. The recent development of submerged hybrid membrane systems, such as membrane bioreactors in wastewater treatment, provides alternative technologies for arsenic treatment.

A Short Introduction to Geospatial Intelligence explains the newest form of intelligence used by governments, commercial organizations, and individuals. Geospatial intelligence combines late 20th century historically derived ways of thinking and early 21st century technologies of GIS, GPS, digital imaging satellites and communications satellites to identify, measure, and analyze the current risk in the world.

These ways of thinking have developed from military engineering, cartography, photointerpretation, and imagery analysis. While the oldest example dates back to the early 16th century, all the ways of spatial thinking share the common thread of being developed and refined during conflicts to help military leaders make informed decisions prior to action. In the 21st century- thanks in great part to advances in digital precision technology, miniaturization, and the commercialization of satellites- these ways of thinking have expanded from the military into various other industries and sectors including energy, agriculture, environment, law enforcement, global risk assessment, and climate monitoring.

Features:

Analyzes human and algorithmic models for dealing with the challenge of analytic attention, in an age of geospatial data overload

Establishes an original model- envisioning, discovery, recording, comprehending, and tracking- for the spatial thinking that underpins the practice and growth of this emerging discipline

Addresses the effects of small satellites on the collection and analysis of geospatial intelligence



A Short Introduction to Geospatial Intelligence describes the development of the five steps in geospatial thinking- envisioning, discovery, recording, comprehending, and tracking- in addition to addressing the challenges, and future applications, of this newest intelligence discipline.

A Short Introduction to Geospatial Intelligence

"Ambitious, absorbing... Brannen is an effusive, maximalist writer, a mind vividly alive on the page... and his arguments, like his writing, are hugely compelling."-The New York Times Book Review How carbon dioxide made planet Earth, shaped human history, and now holds our future in the balanceEvery year, we are dangerously warping the climate by putting gigantic amounts of carbon dioxide into the air. But CO2 isn't merely the by-product of burning fossil fuels-it is also fundamental to how our planet works. All life is ultimately made from CO2, and it has kept Earth bizarrely habitable for hundreds of millions of years. In short, it is the most important substance on Earth. But how is it that CO2 is as essential to life on Earth as it is capable of destroying it?In The Story of CO2 Is the Story of Everything, award- winning science journalist Peter Brannen reveals how carbon dioxide's movement through rocks, air, water, and life has kept our planet's climate livable, its air breathable, and its oceans hospitable to complex life. Starting at the dawn of life almost 4 billion years ago, and working all the way up through today's global climate crisis and beyond, he illuminates how CO2 has been responsible for the planet's many deaths and rebirths, for shaping the evolution of life, and for the development of modern human society. And he argues that it's only by reckoning with this planetary-scale history that we can understand the cosmic stakes of our current moment on Earth-and how dangerous our experiment with the climate really is.Drawing on groundbreaking research and with a clear- eyed perspective, Brannen shows how a deep exploration of the carbon cycle can shed light on the way forward for humanity as we try to avert environmental catastrophe in the future. And it all begins with a richer understanding of the critical role of CO2 in our world. How has this single molecule shaped 4 billion years of life, climate, and civilization? <ul><li>The Carbon Cycle: Follow CO2 on its epic journey through rocks, air, oceans, and life—the planetary thermostat that has kept Earth habitable for eons, and which we are now breaking.</li><li>The Origin of Life: Discover how the fundamental chemistry of life itself emerged to solve a planetary problem, transforming CO2 into living matter at the bottom of a primordial ocean.</li><li>Climate Change in Deep Time: Journey through Snowball Earths and hothouse worlds to see how CO2 has repeatedly made and unmade the planet, providing a crucial, and cautionary, guide for our own future.</li><li>The Industrial Revolution: Uncover how humanity tapped into a half-billion-year-old planetary battery of fossil fuels, unleashing a new metabolism that transformed civilization and set us on a collision course with geologic history.</li></ul>
