Описание:

In October 2010, nine months after the massive earthquake that devastated Haiti, a second disaster began to unfold—soon to become the world's largest cholera epidemic in modern times. In a country that had never before reported cholera, the epidemic mysteriously and simultaneously appeared in river communities of central Haiti, eventually triggering nearly 800,000 cases and 9,000 deaths. What had caused the first cases of cholera in Haiti in recorded history? Who or what was the deadly agent of origin? Why did it explode in the agricultural-rich delta of the Artibonite River? When answers were few, rumors spread, causing social and political consequences of their own. Wanting insight, the Haitian government and French embassy requested epidemiological assistance from France. A few weeks into the epidemic, physician and infectious disease specialist Renaud Piarroux arrived in Haiti.In Deadly River, Ralph R. Frerichs tells the story of the epidemic—of a French disease detective determined to trace its origins so that he could help contain the spread and possibly eliminate the disease—and the political intrigue that has made that effort so difficult. The story involves political maneuvering by powerful organizations such as the United Nations and its peacekeeping troops in Haiti, as well as by the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Frerichs explores a quest for scientific truth and dissects a scientific disagreement involving world-renowned cholera experts who find themselves embroiled in intellectual and political turmoil in a poverty-stricken country.Frerichs's narrative highlights how the world’s wealthy nations, nongovernmental agencies, and international institutions respond when their interests clash with the needs of the world’s most vulnerable people. The story poses big social questions and offers insights not only on how to eliminate cholera in Haiti but also how nations, NGOs, and international organizations such as the UN and CDC deal with catastrophic infectious disease epidemics.

Описание: Natech Risk Assessment and Management: Reducing the Risk of Natural-Hazard Impact on Hazardous Installations covers the entire spectrum of issues pertinent to Natech risk assessment and management. After a thorough introduction of the topic that includes definitions of terms, authors Krausmann, Cruz, and Salzano discuss various examples of international frameworks and provide a detailed view of the implementation of Natech Risk Management in the EU and OECD. . There is a dedicated chapter on natural-hazard prediction and measurement from an engineering perspective, as well as a consideration of the impact of climate change on Natech risk. The authors also discuss selected Natech accidents, including recent examples, and provide specific ‘lessons learned’ from each, as well as an analysis of all essential elements of Natech risk assessment, such as plant layout, substance hazards, and equipment vulnerability. . The final section of the book is dedicated to the reduction of Natech risk, including structural and organizational prevention and mitigation measures, as well as early warning issues and emergency foreword planning.

Описание: It is common practice to evaluate wastewater to understand drug consumption, from antibiotics to illegal narcotics, and even to analyze dietary habits and trends. Evaluating contaminants in wastewater enables researchers, environmental scientists, and water quality experts to gain valuable information and data. Wastewater-based epidemiology is an emerging science that has proven to be a cost- and time-effective biomonitoring tool. This book provides a roadmap for detecting wastewater-borne pathogenic contaminants such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and others. It provides a basic, fundamental discussion of how sampling and monitoring of wastewater using epidemiological concepts and practices can aid in determining the presence of the COVID-19 virus in a community, for example, and may help predict future outbreaks. Features• Offers a unique discussion of the detection of bacteria, fungi, and COVID-19, and other viruses in wastewater • Presents the fundamentals of wastewater chemistry and microbiology • Explains biomonitoring, sampling, testing, and health surveillance in a practical manner Fundamentals of Wastewater-Based Epidemiology: Biomonitoring of Bacteria, Fungi, COVID-19, and Other Viruses is an invaluable resource to a wide array of readers with varying interests and backgrounds in water science and public health.

Описание: A Risk–centric Approach The Future of the Safety Profession The information and tools contained in Risk Assessment: A Practical Guide to Assessing Operational Risks should get into the hands and minds of every practicing Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) Professional. The biggest risk to an organization is not taking a risk–based approach to protecting people, property and the environment. Organizational confidence in assessing operational risks will come when adopting and building upon the principles and learning s that come from these author s body of work. Defining what Safe looks like must become the future of our profession. Dave Walline, CSP Committee Chair, ASSE Risk Assessment Institute 2013–2015 Risk Assessment: A Practical Guide to Assessing Operational Risk provides the fundamentals on risk assessment, with practical applications, for undergraduate and graduate students and employed safety, health, and environmental professionals who recognize that they are expected to have risk assessment capabilities. This book fills a void. No other textbook has been written as a primer for students and employed safety professionals that covers the fundamentals of risk assessment and emphasizes taking a practical approach in the application of the techniques. In addition, the book addresses seven of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) criteria for safety programs. Over time, risk assessments have been given more prominence as an element in an operational risk management system. This text will serve the needs of professors at a university level who sense the need for their students to have knowledge and capability with respect to risk assessment. It will also serve as a primer for employed safety professionals who need a practical guide on various risk assessment techniques. Risk assessment methods including task analysis, job risk assessment, preliminary hazard analysis, failure mode and effects analysis, what–if analysis, and bow–tie analysis, as well as specific applications including design safety reviews, ergonomic risks, food safety, organizational risk assessment, and project risk are covered in a step by step approach. Including numerous interactive exercises, links, videos, and downloadable risk assessment tools this textbook can be used by undergraduate and graduate students and employed safety, health, and environmental professionals who recognize that they are expected to have risk assessment capabilities Georgi Popov, PhD, QEP, CMC is an associate professor at the University of Central Missouri where he teaches risk assessment. His research interests include industrial hygiene, safety management, risk assessment, PtD, air quality, alternative fuels, LEAN Six Sigma practices, and business aspects of Environmental, Health and Safety. His experience is unique with both civilian and military environmental, health and safety programs. Bruce K.
