Examples include the development of more sensitive and reliable automatic instrumentation for monitoring chemicals, radiation and biological materials in the environment, of safety-or-environment-related add-on equipment for vehicles, of pollution-control technology and of safety-related equipment for use in industry, mining and the home. 

The metals industry mines these ores from the ground, as shown in Figure 18.16, and then processes them into metals. Although metal-containing compounds occur just about everywhere, only ores are concentrated enough to make the extraction of the metal economically feasible.

The wastes of the metals industry vary with the sector of the industry. Mining creates more wastes (primarily solids) than any of the other sectors. Tailings and waste rock are the two largest volumes of waste that metal production generates. While no attempt has been made to reduce this necessary waste, strict planning, federal and state regulations, and impoundment criteria have been adopted to lessen the impact of these wastes. 

For the essential elements the amounts in the body are normally controlled by physiological mechanisms, but for the non-essential, non-beneficial elements there are no such controls and the amounts in the body generally reflect the natural occurrence of the elements in food and water. For many such elements we may consider that there is a base load in the human body which reflects the natural intake of the elements in the diet. For some elements, industrial, mining or other human activities, may release metals into the environment. Such activities may result in a civilization-related load being added to the natural base load in some circumstances this civilization-related load may be very much greater than the base load. For example, the natural concentrations of the highly toxic metal cadmium in soils are generally quite low, yet in the...

Acidity is a major limitation to soil productivity in much of the world. Although acidification is a natural process in many soil environments, agricultural practices and pollution from industrial, mining, and other human activities have accelerated the process. It is important that acidity be understood in terms of its fundamental chemistry so that soil management and remediation schemes are based on sound principles rather than empirical knowledge that may only be locally relevant. This chapter attempts to provide this understanding, and uses some example field data to illustrate important principles. 

Since detonative explosives are kept in various types of vessels used for different objectives such as warheads, bombs, and industrial mines and civil engineering, the performance of the explosives is dependent not only on the chemicals and mass of explosives but also the physical shape of explosives. When a detonation is initiated at a point in an explosive charge, the detonation wave propagates spherically in all directions. When a detonation is initiated at a point at one end of an explosive charge, the detonation wave propagates semi-spherically in the charge. Thus, the...
