Disponer de agua potable y segura es un desafío básico al que se enfrenta el planeta y es una reclamación prioritaria en los países en desarrollo de todo el mundo. La carencia de agua potable y segura en el mundo se puede atribuir a la contaminacion, al cambio climatico y a otras actividades humanas que conducen a que una gran variedad de contaminantes quimicos, fisicos y biologicos accedan a las masas de agua. Aunque en todo el mundo se llevan a cabo grandes esfuerzos para resolver este problema, el desafio persiste. Este libro aporta luz sobre los metodos de tratamiento del agua potable y su escala de aplicacion en los paises en desarrollo.Mediante la revision de tecnologias de tratamiento tanto convencionales como emergentes, los autores analizan la eliminacion de contaminantes quimicos, fisicos y biologicos del agua de bebida, con especial aplicacion a los paises en desarrollo. Se estudia su conservacion mediante la recogida de agua de lluvia, la reutilizacion de aguas residuales y los criterios de seleccion de los metodos aplicables en el contexto de aspectos relevantes para Africa, Asia, Latinoamerica y el Caribe.

En relación al contenido, mi opinión es, después de más de 35 años de desarrollo profesional en el mundo del agua, que en una planta industrial de tratamiento, el manager, operador, técnico y/o ingeniero debe, si no ser obligatoriamente especialista, si al menos conocer aspectos basicos de economia, mecanica, electricidad, electronica, neumatica y control y automatismos, aparte de dominar el propio proceso. Es por ello que hay preguntas en el test que tienen que ver directamente con estas materias y deseo que el lector las sepa apreciar y pueda aprovecharlas. Sin duda, algun dia le seran utiles en el desempeño de su labor profesional o docente.En la primera edicion del libro "300 preguntas tipo test sobre EDARs y ETAPs" se me solicito por parte de algunos lectores que explicara las respuestas del test.Dado que hoy en dia practicamente toda la documentacion la tenemos en la red, y siendo mi intencion que el estudiante o profesional investigue y amplie la informacion que estos libros presentan, decidi en aquel momento inicial no justificar las soluciones.No obstante, y dado que el mundo de la desalacion es mas reciente y quizas aun menos explorado que los anteriores, en este libro si se recogen breves explicaciones a las respuestas.

La presenta obra pretende ser un ejemplo del empleo de sistemas empotrados, control de sistemas continuos, simulación numérica y programación, así como comunicaciones inalámbricas, para la creación de dispositivos adaptados a personas con discapacidades motoras severas. Se ha desarrollado en p...

Telerradiologia, historia clinica electronica, telepatologia, cardiologia on-line, teledermatologia y telemedicina en las Fuerzas Armadas son algunos de los conceptos que se desarrollan y tienen cabida en este estudio.

The book provides a comprehensive account of the important field of aerosol sampling as it is applied to the measurement of aerosols that are ubiquitous in occupational and living environments, both indoor and outdoor. It is written in four parts: Part A (8 chapters) describes the current knowledge of the physical science that underpins the process of aerosol sampling. Part B (4 chapters) presents the basis of standards for aerosols, including in particular the link with human exposure by inhalation. Part C (8 chapters) covers the development of practical aerosol sampling instrumentation, and how technical designs and methods have evolved over the years in order that aerosol sampling may be carried out in a manner matching the health-related and other criteria that have been proposed as parts of standards. Finally Part D (3 chapters) describes how a wide range of aerosol sampling instruments have performed when they have been applied in the field in both occupational and ambient atmospheric environments, including how different instruments, nominally intended to measure the same aerosol fraction, compare when used side-by-side in the real world. The book is intended to draw together all that is known about aerosol sampling - about the science and across a very wide range of applications - for the benefit of researchers and practitioners in occupational and environmental health and hygiene, aerosol scientists and engineers, as well as graduate-level students in these fields. In addition, the text will be of interest to environmental and occupational epidemiologists, atmospheric scientists, and occupational and environmental health policy specialists, including all those aroundthe world engaged in the processes of setting standards for airborne particulate contaminants. This book provides a comprehensive account of the important field of aerosol sampling as it is applied to the measurement of aerosols that are ubiquitous in occupational and living environments, both indoor and outdoor. It is written in four parts: Part A contains 9 chapters that describe the current knowledge of the physical science that underpins the process of aerosol sampling. Part B contains 4 chapters, which present the basis of standards for aerosols, including the link with human exposure by inhalation. Part C contains 7 cha

RockOdor and irritation play a prominent role in the quality of air when tobacco smoke (ETS) is present within a building. Ventilation for Environmental Tobacco Smokewas written to educate companies about obstructed ventilation systems due to tobacco smoke within their facilities. It is a guide that HVAC designers can use to provide better, more efficient units for ventilate, thus creating higher optimized air quality, comfort, and energy use. Many HVAC(heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning)designers have few guides to follow for providing efficient systems to handle ETS problems. This design guide primarily focuses on the design structure of units and less on the requirements according to codes and guidelines. With the proper guidance, HVAC designers will be insured to produce a highly efficient system that will reassure companies and clients that they are receiving quality ventilation flow. This guide can be used as an introductory on ETS, as a refresher to those within the HVAC industry, a tool to stimulate more discussion and research, as well as a reference for architects and building owners who are already experienced on ETS concerns. * Presents background information on HVAC * Provides an overview of what factors affect indoor environmental quality and methods for estimating needed ventilation rates * Contains design issues and examples for various applications, along with summaries
