Abstract An introduction to the political, legal and historical aspects of chemical warfare (CW) is provided. Principal CW agents and various environmental and health aspects associated with their use, storage and destruction are identified and selected future challenges are considered. 

A further improvement in the sustainability of an industrial production process may be achieved by closing the water loops for a number of adjacent industrial production processes. This may be achieved in a so-called eco-industrial area where the primary aim is to arrange industrial production processes in such a way that water, wastes, materials, and energy can be exchanged between the various production processes in an environmentally sustainable and cost effective manner. A shared process water production plant and wastewater treatment plant is then a crucial step. It will, however, be clear that such an approach requires a thorough and detailed study which incorporates not only technical and economical aspects but also legal, organisational and infrastructural aspects as well.

Reliable long-term mothballing of damaged NS in nuclear, radiation and environmentally safe conditions using magnesia-mineral-salt compound followed by NS deepening into sea bottom sediments could be realized in the shortest possible time. The legal aspects of such disposal should be worked over at the international level. 

A variety of product safety, work safety, environmental safety aspects and other legal aspects must be taken into consideration when a process is designed. Good Manufacturing Practice standards for facilities, equipment, and working procedures must be met. GMP approval is subject to inspection and requires constant attention and updating. Extensive documentation must be provided to comply with these requirements. 

The overview of scientific and regulatory aspects set forth in this book, on the one hand, demonstrates how intimately research and legal provisions are interwoven and benefit from each other on the other hand, it sheds further light on the complexity of environmental contamination in Antarctica and calls for more proactive and resolute action. With this in mind, it is hoped that this work can stimulate further pondering of such priority issues. 

All legal aspects of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 are covered in this book. Topics include the Bability framework, prerequisites to suit civil procedure, settlements, and the roles of the EPA, Justice Department, and the courts. 

ISBN 0-87179-720-8,800 pages, 118 This book covers the basic federal statutes regulating hazardous waste, and includes information on enforcement private actions In protecting public interest environmental torts. International aspects of hazardous waste liability, and other topics. The book provides hundreds of cases to Illustrate information regarding legal issues. 

In a reference work on sensors like the present one, the reader would not like to miss a contribution on applications in environmental control. On the other hand this Held is extremely dependent on the legal aspects in different countries, what makes the inclusion of this topic to our series difflcult. Nevertheless we decided to present at least a brief survey which lists some example information about gas sensors and monitoring systems in environmental control. The description is confined to the situation in North America and Canada.

Polylactic add is indeed attractive for certain purposes, because the energy needed in its production from fossil fuels is about 30% less than for other plastics. It has disadvantages, though. It does not tolerate heat as well and is about 30% more expensive that common plastics that can be used for the same purpose. The price issue has legal aspects as well— no environmental taxes must be paid for products made of polylactic acid.
