Hazardous Environmental Micro-pollutants, Health Impacts and Allied Treatment Technologies

This volume discusses hazardous environmental micropollutants, their impacts on human health, and the best possible solutions to cope with the risks of these pollutants. In the book, different topics related to environmental micropollutants are covered, including dusts, infectious particles, heavy metals, organophosphates, atmospheric toxic organic micropollutants, fungal spores, pollutants from E-waste, and antibiotic threats. In addition to their impacts on human health and the environment, their impacts on school children and economy, with potential policy solutions, are also addressed. The work is timely, as hazardous micropollutants in soil, water and air are worsening in our changing climate, with increasing instances of infectious diseases in humans, environmental contamination, and economic crises resulting from higher burdens of disease. The book will be of interest to students and researchers in environmental pollution and remediation technology, microbiologists, and environmental regulation agencies.
