- Summary:
-
"Heavy metals and the environment are a well-investigated subject. Up to now publications focus on the environmental pathways and risks of metals. In this book, a link has been established between the environmental risks and the societal causes of these risks. Economic models, substance flow models and environmental fate and risk assessment models have been integrated into one framework of analysis which has been applied to understand the pathways of four heavy metals, from their entering the economy until their final destination in the environment. The book is aimed at a public of environmental scientists, especially in the areas of ecological economics, industrial ecology, materials flow accounting and integrated environmental assessment. Environmental policy makers also are a target group."--BOOK JACKET.
