Produktbeschreibung

Environmental Pollution and Public Health: Case Studies on Air, Water and Soil from an Interdisciplinary Perspective provides detailed case studies showing real-world applications of the latest technologies surrounding pollution in air, water and soil. Sections cover the environment and its nexus with public health, highlighting how the health of our environment can invariably influence our public health. Following this, atmospheric pollution is addressed, identifying various air pollutants, methods for identification, impacts on the environment and health, and mitigating technologies. Final sections are dedicated to liquid waste management, focusing on wastewater and treatment options including emerging technologies that are compared to existing options.

The book finishes with case studies and information on regulatory frameworks for environmental pollution for those wanting to implement the remediation techniques covered. This is a necessary read for postgraduates, academics, professionals and researchers in environmental science, soil science, environmental health, and waste management who need the latest sustainable remediation practices and case studies and the efficacy of the associated techniques.

• Offers a broad overview of the environmental and practical aspects of pollution, pollution control measures, and environmental impact assessment
• Focuses on providing detailed, global case studies with an emphasis on cost, efficiency and sustainability of the techniques for treating wastewater, contaminated soils and solid waste
• Provides theoretical and technical information that will assist professionals and practitioners in their goals to address current challenges stemming from environmental pollution
