Environmental sciences for environmental computer scientists, environmental engineers and urban planners

What does environemntally related applied informatics mean? What significance does it have for the economy and the individual? How can practical data in the field of environmental technology be determined? In this book you will find the answers to all these questions in an appropriate, practical and practicable way. Important topics, from the necessary basic knowledge about substances and their compounds, physical stressors and biogenic components to knowledge about information systems and practice-related legal bases, are clearly structured and summarized. The large number of references makes it possible to recognise relationships that are detrimental to the environment and health. Each individual chapter is completed by a summary and questions for repetition. The author's perspective allows a look at the interrelationships of our economic system and shows how they can be investigated. Environmental analysis and monitoring methods are presented for data collection. The sometimes abstract content is illustrated to the reader with the help of 150 illustrations, thus creating a bridge and understanding between environmentally relevant facts with IT tools. The author pays special attention to the environmental compartments and explains the harmful influences in a very practical way. This book offers a good introduction to environmental information scientists, environmental scientists, urban planners and engineers, as well as to all interested laymen.
