Nitrates result in the contamination of drinking water and produce the risk of the �blue-baby� syndrome in infants and of stomach cancer in adults. Agriculture produces methane, ammonia, nitrous oxide and the products of burning off, all of which add to the world's problems of acid rain, depletion of the ozone layer and global warming.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book, which focuses on the UK, the USA and Third World countries, is the first comprehensive review of agriculture and pollution: it examines the facts and assesses the relative dangers of each pollution problem. It also considers the effects of pollution on agriculture itself � crop yields are depressed and livestock damaged by various forms of pollution from all sources.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors offer solutions to these apparently overwhelming problems, and describe existing technology which would allow us to deal with them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1991\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45564709863662,"sku":"9780415851831","price":54.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415851831.jpg?v=1720671106","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/unwelcome-harvest-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
