“…Most prior research on environmental health risks has focused on urban populations 5,7 . Rural populations, however, are potentially exposed to a variety of serious environmental risks from point and non‐point pollution sources including industrial facilities, animal containment facilities, mining operations, agricultural activities, and others 8–12 . For example, the rural counties of eastern North Carolina have the highest childhood lead poisoning rates in the state 9 .…”

“…A synopsis of the results is highlighted here with the rest of the results available from Khuder et al (2007). Of the survey participants, there was no significant difference with regard to age, gender, length of time living on the farm, percentage of time each spent at the address, high-risk occupations, and smoking status between the participants near the permitted fields and those greater than one mile away.…”

The "Geotechnologies and the Environment" series is intended to provide specialists in the geotechnologies and academics who utilize these technologies, with an opportunity to share novel approaches, present interesting (sometimes counter-intuitive) case studies, and most importantly to situate GIS, remote sensing, GPS, the internet, new technologies, and methodological advances in a real world context. In doing so, the books in the series will be inherently applied and reflect the rich variety of research performed by geographers and allied professionals.Beyond the applied nature of many of the papers and individual contributions, the series interrogates the dynamic relationship between nature and society. For this reason, many contributors focus on human-environment interactions. The series are not limited to an interpretation of the environment as nature per se. Rather, the series "places" people and social forces in context and thus explore the many sociospatial environments humans construct for themselves as they settle the landscape. Consequently, contributions will use geotechnologies to examine both urban and rural landscapes. this work may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, microfilming, recording or otherwise, without written permission from the Publisher, with the exception of any material supplied specifically for the purpose of being entered and executed on a computer system, for exclusive use by the purchaser of the work. Cover image: USGS/NASA Landsat ProgramPrinted on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) ForewordGeotechnologies and the Environment: Environmental Applications and Management presents an engaging and diverse array of physically-oriented GIScience applications that have been organized using four broad themes. While the book's themes are by no means mutually exclusive, Hoalst-Pullen and Patterson provide an elegant overview of the field that frames the collection's subsequent thematic structure -Wilderness and Wildlife Response; Glaciers; Wetlands and Watersheds; and Human Health and the Environment. Over the course of the volume, the contributing authors move beyond basic (and in some respects clichéd) landscape ecology of land use change to explore human-environment dynamics heretofore not emphasized in the applied literature. In doing so, the collection presents a compelling case for the importance of developing new physically-oriented GIScience applications that reside at the nexus of social and natural systems with the explicit intent of informing public policy and/or the decision making practices of resource managers.Individually, the chapters themselves are intentionally diverse. The diversity of the approaches, their spatial context, and emphases on management applications demonstrate the many ways in which geotechnologies can be used to address small and big problems in both developed and developing regions.

“…According to Herr et al [15][16], the respiratory ailments occur primarily due to microbiological air pollution (exposure solely to odour does not cause health disorders). Other authors (including Khuder et al [17]) explained the increase in the number of reported diseases in the presence of a noticeable, irritating odour as anxiety (psychosomatic) responses of people afraid of poisoning.…”
