Over de invloed van de atmosfeer op een groot aantal kleine organismen die met de lucht vervoerd worden. Velen hiervan zijn schadelijk voor de mens, voor landbouwgewassen en voor de veestapel. Het is een boek voor biologen waarin praktische en komplexe problemen over ongedierte en ziekten worden behandeld, maar ook de ekologie in het algemeen, vanuit de meteorologie. Het kombineren van kennis over weerkunde en biologie van lucht kan leiden tot verbetering in het voorspellen, registreren en bestrijden van schadelijke organismen (met de wind meegevoerd) en ziekten

Wind-Borne Illness from Coastal Seas: Present and Future Consequences of Toxic Marine Aerosols explores the present and future human health consequences of marine aerosol poisons carried ashore by coastal winds. The book compiles relevant information on an interrelated toxicological, environmental sciences and public health problem that is combined with recent observations, extensive epidemiological data and case studies. It tackles this challenge with a small, interdisciplinary group of authors who dissect the underlying causes and potential remedies of increasing ill health issues on a planet that is covered by 70% seawater and subject to increasing sea spray-containing malign aerosols. The book's authors outline the historical context of the situation, discuss the importance of recognizing toxic marine aerosols as a cause of wind-borne illness, and suggest operational forecasts for avoidance of onshore, wind-borne marine toxins, and crucially, present extensive epidemiological evidence. This resource will be useful to a wide variety of toxicologists, medical doctors and environmental scientists. - Contains extensive epidemiological data and case studies on aerosol forms of windborne global marine toxins - Presents information from an interdisciplinary author team - Argues for future operational forecasts for avoidance of onshore, windborne marine toxins

Electrical Systems and Equipment is the work of some 50 electrical design specialists in the power engineering field based largely on the work and experience of GDCD's (Generation Development and Constructor Division of the CEGB) Electrical Branch. The volume describes the design philosophies and techniques of power engineering, the solutions to the large number of design problems encountered and the plant which has been chosen and developed to equip electrical systems both within the different types of new power station, and modification tasks at existing stations.
