Abstract

"Depuis plusieurs années, l'inquiétude ne cesse de croître quant aux dangers du pesticide le plus utilisé au monde dans les champs et les jardins : le glyphosate. D'autant qu'en 2015, le Centre international de recherche sur le cancer l'a déclaré "cancérigène probable" pour l'Homme, contredisant ainsi les agences de santé américaines ou européennes qui avaient assuré l'innocuité du Roundup de Monsanto, puissant herbicide dont le principe actif est le glyphosate. Prolongeant son enquête retentissante de 2008 sur les dangers des produits toxiques de la firme américaine ("Le Monde selon Monsanto", livre et film), Marie-Monique Robin montre dans ce livre (et le film associé) que la dangerosité du glyphosate est plus grande encore qu'on le craignait. Dans le monde entier, il rend malades ou tue sols, plantes, animaux et humains, car l'herbicide est partout : eau, air, pluie, sols et aliments. Le produit, cancérigène, est aussi un perturbateur endocrinien, un puissant antibiotique et un chélateur de métaux. D'où autant d'effets délétères documentés ici par des entretiens très forts avec des victimes aux États-Unis, en Argentine, en France et au Sri Lanka, ainsi qu'avec de nombreux scientifiques. Ce livre choc révèle l'un des plus grands scandales sanitaires et environnementaux de l'histoire moderne. Il montre que, face à l'impuissance ou l'absence de volonté des agences et des gouvernements pour y mettre fin, la société civile mondiale se mobilise : en octobre 2016, s'est tenu à La Haye le Tribunal international Monsanto, où juges et victimes ont instruit le procès du Roundup, en l'absence de Monsanto, qui a refusé d'y participer. Donnant son fil conducteur au livre, ce procès a conduit à un avis juridique très argumenté, qui pourrait faire reconnaître le crime d'"écocide", ce qui permettrait de poursuivre pénalement les dirigeants des firmes responsables."

Abstract

Technologies for Biochemical Conversion of Biomass introduces biomass biochemical conversion technology, including the pretreatment platform, enzyme platform, cell refining platform, sugar platform, fermentation platform, and post-treatment platform. Readers will find a systematic treatment, not only of the basics of biomass biochemical conversion and the introduction of each strategy, but also of the current advances of research in this area. Researchers will find the key problems in each technology platform for biomass biochemical conversion identified and solutions offered. This valuable reference book features new scientific research and the related industrial application of biomass biochemical conversion technology as the main content, and then systematically introduces the basic principles and applications of biomass biochemical conversion technology. Combines descriptions of these technologies to provide strategies and a platform for biochemical conversion in terms of basic knowledge, research advances, and key problems Summarizes models of biomass biochemical conversion for multiple products Presents products of biomass biochemical conversion from C1 to C10

Abstract

Toxicology: What Everyone Should Know is an essential reference for anyone looking for an entry into this fascinating field of study. This innovative book describes important discoveries in toxicology through the ages, explores their historical and sociological impacts, and shows how they still influence recent, state-of-the-art developments. In addition, the book shows how these developments are extrapolated into public and political perceptions on risks and the regulatory consequences, emphasizing environmental issues, such as manmade and natural chemicals, their interaction and impact, nutrition, and drugs. Users will find a cutting-edge approach to nutritional and combinatorial toxicology, risk evaluation modeling and the benefits of chemicals exposure (nutrition versus man-made chemicals), environmental health, and legislative frameworks to control the public's chemical exposure. This is an essential reference for those looking for an introduction to toxicology, its past, and exciting future.--
