Geological Disposal of Carbon Dioxide and Radioactive Waste: A Comparative AssessmentFossil fuels will remain the backbone of the global energy economy for the foreseeable future. The contribution of nuclear energy to the global energy supply is also expected to increase. With the pressing need to mitigate climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the fossil energy industry is exploring the possibility of carbon dioxide disposal in geological media. Geological disposal has been studied for decades by the nuclear industry with a view to ensuring the safe containment of its wastes. Geological disposal of carbon dioxide and that of radioactive waste gives rise to many common concerns in domains ranging from geology to public acceptance. In this respect, comparative assessments reveal many similarities, ranging from the transformation of the geological environment and safety and monitoring concerns to regulatory, liability and public acceptance issues.

Adaption of Microbial Life to Environmental ExtremesNovel Research Results and Application

Several novel aspects of extremophiles are covered in this book; the focus is firstly on unusual and less explored ecosystems such as marine hypersa-line deeps, cave environments, desert sands and man-made clean rooms for spacecraft assembly. Secondly, the increasingly complex field of applica-tions from extremophile research is treated and examples such as novel psychrophilic enzymes, compounds from halophiles, detection strategies for potential extraterrestrial life forms and attempts of large scale desertification control are presented.

Asbestos DisasterLessons from Japan’s Experience

The purpose of this book is to make a contribu-tion to scientific research on asbestos disasters and policies in Japan by means of an interdisciplinary study project. This approach is inevitable since the asbestos issue has the characteristic aspects of economy, society, medicine, epidemiology, construction, public policy and so forth. This book has the following two unique points. One is the first contribution to asbestos study through interdis-ciplinary methods of the world. The other is the introduction of pollution policy problems in Japan. The latter is important when we consider that Japan’s pollution cases have not introduced so far in English book although Japan has been famous in serious pollutions compared to other developed countries.

Microbial Biosorption of MetalsHeavy metals always pose serious ecological risks when released into the environment due to their elemental non-degradable nature, regardless of their chemical form. This calls for the development of efficient and low-cost effluent treatment and metal recuperation technologies for contaminated waste water, not only because regulatory limits need to be met but also because the waste itself can be a resource for certain precious metals. Biosorp-tion is a general property of living and dead biomass to rapidly bind and abiotically concentrate inorganic or organic compounds from even very diluted aqueous solutions.
