Energy and the Environment Proceedings of a Symposium, University of Leeds, 1990

Proceedings of a symposium organized by the inorganic chemicals and environmental groups of the (British) Royal Society of Chemistry (no date or place noted). The 18 papers are intended to be accessible to educated nonspecialists as well as to scientists in a variety of energy and environmental disciplines. They consider the environmental impact of each step of the major energy producing processes; relate energy consumption and consequent global warming to population growth and improved lifestyles; deal with the chemical interactions of gaseous and vaporous emissions from all energy producing and using processes in the atmosphere and biosphere; and detail the pollutants and control measures at each stage of nuclear power, from mining to waste disposal, fuel reprocessing, accidents, and decommission.
