The agricultural emissions of NjO have been recognized as contributors to a loss of fertilizer for many years, but only recently has the global signihcance of the agricultural NjO emission been treated as an important global issue. " ... 

At this stage of my enquiry 1 can draw only a few tentative conclusions from the case-histories presented above. I shall return at the end of the book to the issue of how disciplines evolve and when, to adopt biological parlance, a new discipline becomes self-fertile. 

The view at Cadmium changed with time starting from a valuable resource and ending up as a toxic element with a limited number of applications not substituted by alternative products. The decontamination of the technosphere works to a certain extent. Due to the character of Cd as trace contamination of phosphate fertilizers and of Zn ores and fossil fuels, there is no final solution for the environmental contamination. Due to the restrictions issued in many countries, there is reason to fear that Cd could end up in unknown material streams. From an analysis of the refining of Zn ores in 2002, it has been concluded that about one quarter of Cd generated as by-product ( 7,000-8,000 Mg) could not be found either in the products analyzed or in the emissions from the process [27]. 

In addition to this book, volunteered papers presented at ISMOM2004 and accepted after rigorous external review was published as a special issue by the international journal Biology and Fertility of Soils.

A large increase in biomass energy production has the potential to cause serious environmental problems. Land use issues and concerns about pollution are major concerns. Areas with fragile ecosystems and rare species would need to be preserved. Agricultural lands would also compete with food production. The loss of soil fertility from overuse is a concern. Biomass production would need to be varied and sustainable while preserving local ecosystems.
