Climate Change and Disease Dynamics in India

Editors: Nitish Dogra and Sangeet Srivastava
Planetary health is today inextricably linked to population health. Climate change, an integral part of planetary health, is foremost among global environmental changes affecting human health. This mammoth challenge is characterized by the potential risk to cripple health systems worldwide and profoundly alter disease dynamics, thereby threatening the well-knit fabric as well as growth of society. Unfortunately, much of the evidence for these linkages has come largely from the developed world. By focusing on India, one of the significant developing countries of the global economy, Climate Change and Disease Dynamics in India aims to fill a crucial gap in the fields of climate science and public health. The book is divided into three main aspects: fundamentals, impacts and applied. By examining these aspects and more, the book seeks to explore the multitude of issues related to climate change and disease dynamics; right from the basics to the bedside to the boardroom. Each chapter reviews relevant global and India-specific evidence, and also the implication of that knowledge in programmatic terms and policy implications.

E-waste
Implications, regulations, and management in India and current global best practices
Editor: Rakesh Johri
E-waste is among the fastest growing waste streams across the world today, with its growth fuelled by exponential growth in the use of electronic equipment, especially PCs (personal computers), and their rapid rate of obsolescence. The disposal of e-waste is a major problem because of the presence of toxic elements such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. The backyard recycling operations are generally rudimentary in nature, causing extensive damage to both the environment and human health. Therefore, there is an urgent need to adopt an environment friendly and simple technology for recycling these wastes. The book addresses these issues and also covers international best practices and regulations on e-waste.

Industrial Solid Wastes

Author: A D Patwardhan
Industrial solid wastes, unlike liquid effluents and gaseous emissions, receive relatively less attention in terms of treatment, reuse, recycle, and recovery of useful by-products. These solid wastes have great potential for recovery and reuse. Predominantly organic wastes can be effectively treated by biological means to yield useful end products like methane gas as fuel and digested slurry as soil conditioner. Inert materials like plastics are effectively blended with other building materials, thereby improving the quality of the finished product and at least partially solving the problem of disposal of plastics. Inorganic wastes are excellent candidates for recovery of reusable building materials like sand and fine aggregate. Recycling of useful components from e-wastes goes a long way in reducing environmental pollution by toxic and hazardous wastes. This book places before the reader different ways and means used by scientists and engineers to minimize pollution of our natural resources and their overexploitation.

Tectonics of the Eastern Continental Margin of India

Authors: K S R Murthy, A S Subrahmanyam, and V Subrahmanyam
Passive continental margins are formed within a single lithospheric plate in which the continental crust adjoins the oceanic crust. Assessment of the geological potential of these margins requires a comprehensive knowledge on the history of the oceanfrom the time of pre-rifting events to the present. Tectonics of the Eastern Continental Margin of India presents the different aspects of a passive margin such as its evolution, tectonics, and associated hazards, taking the Eastern Continental Margin of India (ECMI) as a case study. It discusses the passive margin and focuses on its origin, morphology, structure, and exploration potential; describes the major structural lineaments delineated from the geophysical data over the ECMI; and attempts to explain the geodynamic evolution of this passive margin. A preliminary estimate on the seismic hazards associated with ECMI is also presented in the book.

Industrialization and development have brought about a radical shift in production and consumption patterns all over the world, including India. However, the impact of these trends on the earths climate and various natural resources has been quite serious. There is a need to bring about a major transition, whereby this generation, and more importantly, generations yet to come do not suffer from the ill effects of todays development, which is clearly not sustainable. The human race has to bring about a rapid transition to a pattern of growth and development that is genuinely sustainable.

Looking Back to Change Track

A TERI Publication
In 1997, when India celebrated 50 years of its Independence, TERIs study Growth with Resource Enhancement of Environment and Nature (GREEN) India 2047 assessed whether the country was moving on an environmentally sustainable path. The sequel to the study, Directions Innovations and Strategies for Harnessing Action (DISHA) for sustainable development, released in 2001, projected environmental and resource implications for the country by 2047 under two scenarioscontinuing in a business-as-usual mode and adopting a more sustainable development trajectory. The present study picks up the thread from 1997, examining environmental trends in the last decade, isolating underlying priority issues, and identifying strategies that are needed to prevent or ameliorate environmental damage. The mandate of the present study, thus, is to go beyond reporting the state of Indias environment. Through an evaluation of the major factors that are responsible for the present state and the characteristics of resulting impacts, the study provides an agenda for action.

The Jamun Tree and Other Stories on the Environment

Author: Pamela Chatterjee
The Jamun Tree and Other Stories on the Environment provides an insiders viewfrom the villages, of work related to natural resource management. It describes the process by which farmers were motivated to regard the work to be done as their own. It is a narration of the personal experience of people in those village areas where the author worked. Starting the endeavour with just 95 farmers on a mere 18 hectares of land, the programme has benefitted over 10,000 farmers by reclaiming over 4,600 hectares in just two years. Till date, with the intervention of the World Bank, a total of 6.25 lakh hectares has been reclaimed and the good work continues. The action taken found an echo with local people as it addressed the need of the hour, right there in the field, with innovative techniques and new ideas.

The availability of fossil fuels required for power plants is reducing and their costs increasing rapidly. This gives rise to increase in the cost of generation of electricity. But electricity regulators have to control the price of electricity so that consumers are not stressed with high costs. In addition, environmental considerations are forcing power plants to reduce CO2 emissions. Under these circumstances, power plants are constantly under pressure to improve the efciency of operating plants, and to reduce fuel consumption. In order to progress in this direction, it is important that power plants regularly audit their energy use in terms of the operating plant heat rate and auxiliary power consumption. Energy Audit: Thermal Power, Combined Cycle, and Cogeneration Plants attempts to refresh the fundamentals of the science and engineering of thermal power plants, and establishes its link with the real power plant performance data through case studies, and further developing techno-economics of the energy efciency improvement measures. This book will rekindle interest in energy audits and analysis of the data for designing and implementation of energy conservation measures on a continuous basis. Key features Extensive coverage of basic design concepts and equipment details Specic details on methodology for energy audit data collection for different equipment/ subsystems Analysis of data with the basic objective of energy efciency improvement of different equipment/subsystems of a power plant Techno-economics of each energy efciency/energy conservation measure, to enable management to take right investment decisions Insightful discussions on advanced technologies like supercritical and IGCC power generation systems
