Quick ViewPolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are relatively stable contaminants, recalcitrant in soils and less easy to degrade than other organic compounds. One of the major sources of PAHs are petrogenic. The fuel components and ubiquitous environmental pollutants of PAHs are examined in the first chapter of this book. The second chapter presents data regarding firefighters’ occupational…
-
Quick ViewThe activation reactions of organic substrates involving tantalum compounds and complexes as compared with other transition metals have a relatively recent history, and therefore they are by far the least studied. The first chapter presents research data published by the authors in the last five years, on the use of catalysts based on tantalum compounds…

Quick ViewMost U.S. farms are family operations, and even the largest farms are predominantly family-run. Small farms are less profitable than larger farms, on average, and their operator households tend to rely on off-farm income for their livelihood. Generally speaking, farm operator households cannot be characterized as low-income when both farm and off-farm incomes are considered.…
