He has an h-index of 54 (i.e. 54 of his papers have received 54 or more citations in the literature). In 2004 he was appointed OBE for services to environmental science in the New Year Honours List. He was profiled by the Journal of Environmental Monitoring (Vol 5, pp 39N-41N, 2003). Professor Harrison's research interests lie in the field of environment and human health. His main specialism is in air pollution, from emissions through atmospheric chemical and physical transformations to exposure and effects on human health.

Opportunities for exploiting waste are discussed, along with their environmental and economic considerations. Landfill remains an unavoidable solution in some circumstances, and the current situation regarding this is also presented. Other chapters focus on mine waste, the recovery of fertilisers, and the growing potential for compost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronic Waste Management (2008, ISBN 978-0-85404-112-1)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronic waste contains toxic and carcinogenic compounds, which can pose a risk to the environment. However, if handled correctly, electronic waste presents a valuable source of secondary raw materials. The European Union has implemented the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment directive (WEEE Directive) to tackle this growing problem. This book discusses the directive and examines current legislation in the USA and other parts of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnvironmental and Health Impact of Solid Waste Management Activities (2002, ISBN 978-0-85404-285-2)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book, written by international experts, discusses the various waste disposal options that are available (landfill, incineration, composting, recycling) and then reviews their impact on the environment, and particularly on human health.

It also looks into current practice in the design, engineering, operation and control of landfill sites, and the effect of changes in regulatory policy. A wide range of waste management practices result in atmospheric discharges and this book reviews the localized impacts and mitigation of the discharge and the regulatory framework within which waste management has to operate. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a print only set. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eHarrison, R M\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRoy Harrison OBE is Queen Elizabeth II Birmingham Centenary Professor of Environmental Health at the University of Birmingham.
