Overview

This work deals with the dynamics of waste disposal in the immediate human environment - the anthroposphere. A comprehensive understanding of man's activities in connection with, for example, nutrition, hygiene, habitation and transport is essential for an early recognition of their impact on the environment. The methodology of waste analysis is introduced, with examples of how to qualify and quantify the metabolism of complex biological and cultural systems - a new approach to describing geogenic and anthropogenic systems. The perceptions gained by this type of analysis complement those obtained in the life sciences such as human toxicology, in the environmental sciences such as ecotoxicology, and in the social sciences such as economics and sociology. This monograph on environmental sciences, environmental protection, waste management, civil engineering and economics is intended for researchers, consultants, students and state and government agencies.
