The Global Impact

Solid wastes constitute an important and emerging environmental problem at a global scale. A recent study from Bakare et al. suggests that the production of solid wastes varies from 0.5 to 4.5 kg per person per day in different regions of the world [6]. It is therefore clear that proper management of the waste problem must be nowadays at the center of the management policies of each nation in order to reduce the local and the global impact.

The construction industry and the industries which supply it have a vital role to play in the evolution of a culture of clean technology. Buildings have a crucial impact on the physical and economic health and well-being of the individuals, communities, and organizations which they are intended to support. The global impact of the architectural environment is increasingly evident. It is necessary for everyone involved to... 

In general, for different reasons, biomass burning is a complex anthropogenic source of the atmospheric pollution and of the global impact on the biosphere as a whole. Estimates obtained by many authors show that the radiative forcing on climate determined by aerosols from biomass burning constitute about -l.OWm"2... 

The global impact of industrial biotechnology on the chemical industry is currently relatively low. About five percent of all chemicals today are produced by industrial biotechnology. Riese and Bachmann estimate that ten percent of all chemicals sold by the year 2010 will be biotech-derived using renewable resources. The impact will be greatest in the fine chemical sector, with an estimated 60 percent share of white biotech products.

It is interesting (to) have real life applications in industry and chemistry in general. It gives a good overview of chemistry and its environmental impact. However topics are a little scattered and some harder topics are explained a little fast. Other than that most topics are understood during class. Important for chemists/researchers to understand the global impact of their work and think about often simpler and more cost effective methodologies.
