    Urban Air Quality in the City of Batna:
    In recent decades, the problem of air pollution has been increasing due to the drastic increase of anthropogenic activity and industrial development. However, the problem of polluting emissions from the transport sector is becoming more and more worrying at the local, regional and global levels. This work, anchored in the field of transport, aims to study the polluting emissions from road transport in the city of Batna, one of the major Algerian agglomerations. It is also located at the crossroads of the two privileged themes of our century, namely environmental concerns and the demographic growth of cities. Initially, we propose to become familiar with the problem of air pollution as well as the various sources, its repercussions in terms of environment and living environment and the regulations associated with its measurement. We continue this bibliographical study by describing the various existing emission inventories, which are a fundamental tool for environmental impact studies.

    Polluting Textiles (eBook, PDF)
    This book examines the critical issue of environmental pollutants produced by the textiles industry. Comprised of contributions from environmental scientists and materials and textiles scientists, this edited volume addresses the environmental impact of microplastics, with a particular focus on microfibres released by textiles into marine and water environments. The chapters in Part I offer environmental perspectives focusing on the measurement of microplastics in the environment, their ingestion by small plankton and larger filter feeders, the effects of consuming microplastics, and the role of microplastics as a vector for transferring toxic contaminants in food webs. Written by environmental and material scientists, the chapters in Part II present potential solutions to the problem of microplastics released from textiles, discussing parameters of influence, water treatment, degradation in marine environment, textile end-of-life management, textile manufacturing and laundry, possible policy measures. This is a much needed volume which brings together in one place environmental research with technical solutions in order to provide a cohesive and practical approach to mitigating and preventing environmental pollution from the textiles industry going forward. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental conservation and management, environmental pollution and environmental chemistry and toxicology, sustainability, as well as students and scholars of material and textiles science, textile engineering and sustainable manufacturing.
