The Butterfly Defect addresses the widening gap between the new systemic risks generated by globalization and their effective management. It shows how the dynamics of turbo-charged globalization has the potential and power to destabilize our societies. Drawing on the latest insights from a wide variety of disciplines, Ian Goldin and Mike Mariathasan provide practical guidance for how governments, businesses, and individuals can better manage globalization and risk.Goldin and Mariathasan demonstrate that systemic risk issues are now endemic everywhere-in supply chains, pandemics, infrastructure, ecology and climate change, economics, and politics. Unless we address these concerns, they will lead to greater protectionism, xenophobia, nationalism, and, inevitably, deglobalization, rising inequality, conflict, and slower growth.The Butterfly Defect shows that mitigating uncertainty and risk in an interconnected world is an essential task for our future.

This book brings together the results of field, experimental, and modeling studies related to road dust and its various size fractions as a key issue in understanding the relationships between several urban and industrial environments, and in the identification of pollution sources. The book is intended for professionals, researchers, and academicians who want to learn about new research findings regarding the chemical composition of road dust and its source, assessments of road dust and aerosol pollution levels (including express technique), environmental hazards and public health risks, the distribution of stable and radioactive isotopes in road dust, the determination of factors affecting the level of dust accumulation on roads and the intensity of its pollution, and the effect of road dust on the atmosphere and other environments. The book also provides data on some of the current challenges in studying road dust, including various aspects of the formation, transport pathways, and accumulation of road dust in urban, industrial and other areas.

Research & information: general --- Environmental economics --- Pollution control --- urban sediment --- urban landscape --- sediment transport --- municipal service --- earthworks --- environmental management --- potentially toxic metal --- road dust --- industrial area --- pollution assessment --- ecological risk --- heavy metals --- Mexico City --- urban pollution --- urban form --- color indices --- redness --- hue --- saturation --- lead --- pollution --- gross alpha activity --- gross beta activity urban environment --- sediment --- size fraction --- urban environment --- residential area --- urban surface deposited sediments --- technogenic particles --- slag --- spherules --- microplastic --- plaster --- urban dust --- metal concentration --- multi-stable isotopes (13C, 207/206Pb) --- contamination assessment --- source identification --- particulate matter --- source apportionment analysis --- health risk assessment --- Huludao --- PM10 --- dust resuspension --- sediment load --- non-exhaust emissions --- chemical profile --- enrichment factors --- Colombia --- geo-accumulation index --- inhalation --- resuspension --- cancer --- fugitive dust --- unpaved roads --- emission factors --- paved roads --- emission rates --- metals --- street dust --- enrichment factor --- Vietnam --- ultrafine particles --- UFP --- aerosolization --- incidental nanoparticles --- air pollution --- dry sieving --- human health risk --- exposure --- optical analysis --- Western Siberia --- potentially toxic elements --- traffic-related contamination --- road dust and road pavement --- particle size distribution --- source apportionment --- environmental interactions --- toxic elements and compounds --- nanoparticles and microplastic --- spatial variation and modeling --- health and ecological risks --- mitigation strategies
