Climate Change 1994 : Radiative Forcing of Climate Change and an Evaluation of the IPCC IS92 Emission Scenarios - Reports of Working Groups I and III of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, forming part of the IPCC Special Report to the first session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change
(Cambridge University Press, 1995)The scope of the present report covers only those factors which cause radiative forcing of climate change, and includes updated values of Global Warming Potentials. The full range of topics related to climate, including ... -
Electromagnetic Fields (300 Hz to 300 GHz) - Environmental Health Criteria 137
(1993)This monograph is concerned with the health effects of electromagnetic fields in the frequency range of 300 Hz-300 GHz, which includes the radiofrequency (RF) range (100 kHz-300 GHz) covered in the earlier publication (WHO, ... -
Extremely Low Frequency Fields - Environmental Health Criteria 238
(2007)This Environmental Health Criteria (EHC) monograph addresses the possible health effects of exposure to extremely low frequency (ELF) electric and magnetic fields. It reviews the physical characteristics or ELF fields as ... -
GCOS Surface Reference Network (GSRN): Justification, Requirements, Siting and Instrumentation Options - GCOS-226
(2019)This document provides a proposal for the establishment of a GCOS Surface Reference Network (GSRN). Reference quality observations are directly traceable to the International System of Units (SI) standards and include full ... -
Lasers and Optical Radiation - Environmental Health Criteria 23
(1982)This document provides information on the physical aspects of electromagnetic radiation in the optical spectrum, within the wavelength range of 100 mm - l mm. Optical radiation includes ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from ... -
Photosynthesis and Production in a Changing Environment : A Field and Laboratory Manual
(1993)The origins of this book lie in a series of training courses sponsored by the United Nations Environment Programme (Project No. FP/6108-88-01 (2855); 'Environment changes and the productivity of tropical grasslands'), with ... -
A Preliminary Analysis of Climatological Data from the Marsabit District of Northern Kenya: IPAL Technical Paper Number B-1
(1979)The Integrated Project in Arid Lands (IPAL) was established jointly by UNEP and UNESCO in 1976 with the aim of finding direct solutions to the most urgent environmental problems associated with desert encroachment and ... -
Radiation: Doses, Effects, Risks
(1985)Few scientific issues arouse so much public controversy as the effects of radiation. Scarcely a week seems to go by in developed countries without some expression of public feeling— and, as some developing Countries advance ... -
Radiation: Doses, Effects, Risks - 2nd Edition
(1991)Few scientific issues arouse so much public controversy as the effects of radiation. Scarcely a week seems to go by in developed countries without some expression of public feeling— and, as some developing Countries advance ... -
Radiofrequency and Microwaves - Environmental Health Criteria 16
(1981)Microwave and radiofrequency (RE) radiation constitute part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum. This document is concerned with frequencies lying between 105 and 3 × 1011 Hz (100 kHz and 300 GHz). The term radiofrequency ... -
Selected Radionuclides - Environmental Health Criteria 25
(1983)In this report the more general considerations of environmental behaviour of several radionuclides are discussed, including sources, transport to man and dosimetry. The radionuclides discussed are those most frequently ... -
Ultraviolet Radiation - Environmental Health Criteria 160
(1994)This monograph is concerned with the effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure on human health and the environment. Such a review of the scientific literature is considered timely in view of the consequences of ...
