Delegates to the 3rd International Conference on Environmental and Economic Impact on Sustainable Development contributed the peer-reviewed papers contained in this book. The papers discuss the most serious problems affecting sustainable development. They consider the impact of economic constraints on the environment, taking into account the social aspects as well as the over-use of natural resources. Uncontrolled development can also result in damage to the environment in terms of the release of toxic substances and hazardous waste. Thus, attention is paid to issues related to whether some forms of development are compatible with environmental protection, particularly in cases of possible serious contamination and toxicity. The focus in the book is on more constructive and progressive approaches to the problems discussed, to ensure sustainability. The hope is that through the shared experiences of experts, we can learn from past failure, to avoid repeating similar mistakes, while attempting to prevent emerging threats to the environmental and ecological systems. Fundamental to these concepts are an analysis of the inherent risks and the development of appropriate strategies. The papers in the book address such topics as: Environmental policies and planning; Environmental assessments; Development issues; Sustainable cities; Economic impact; Natural resources management; Energy and the environment; Food production systems and policies; Ecosystems health; Soil contamination; Remediation; Decommissioning of hazardous plants; Brownfields rehabilitation; Water resources management; Air and water pollution; Toxicity studies; Pollution and public health; Environmental health risk; Community participation; Legislation and regulations.

El objetivo del presente Manual es suministrar a las personas interesadas en asuntos ambientales, las guías y especificaciones básicas sobre el tema, para que en un momento dado tengan los criterios generales en la elaboración de un estudio de evaluación de impactos generados en diferentes proyectos. En los dos primeros capítulos se definen las normas ambientales, legales e institucionales y conceptos básicos relacionados con los EIA. El enfoque metodológico presentado en los capítulos tercero y cuarto da alternativas de nuevas propuestas metodológicas y se presentan como una aproximación más para la evaluación del impacto ambiental causado por actividades propias de ingeniería (vías, manejo Integral de residuos sólidos, urbanización, etc.). El capítulo quinto describe cada uno de los apartes que conforman un EIA y los capítulos sexto y séptimo ilustran la manera como se identifican y se evalúan los impactos ambientales.
