Environmental Resilience and Transformation in Times of COVID-19:
Climate Change Effects on Environmental Functionality is a timely
reference to better understand environmental changes amid the
COVID-19 pandemic and the associated lockdowns. The book is
organized into five themes: (1) environmental modifications,
degradation, and human health risks; (2) water resources-planning,
management, and governance; (3) air quality-monitoring, fate,
transport, and drivers of socioenvironmental change; (4) marine and
lacustrine environment; and (5) sustainable development goals and
environmental justice. These themes provide an insight into the
impact of COVID-19 on the environment and vice versa, which will
help improve environmental management and planning, as well as
influence future policies. Featuring many case studies from around
the globe, this book offers a crucial examination of the
intersectionality between climate, sustainability, the environment,
and public health for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers
in environmental science.
Meso and Microplastic Risk Assessment in Marine Environment: New
Threat and Challenges in Marine Environment presents an
interdisciplinary approach, offering key techniques and management
of microplastic contamination in the disciplines of environmental
science, fisheries, oceanography, geology, chemistry, biology and
ocean science. Sections cover an overview of microplastic in the
marine environment, deal with the origin, occurrences, distribution
and various methodologies (for dealing with microplastics)
available for microplastics, address the global case study of
microplastic separation using recent techniques, and discuss the
impact of microplastics on human health and the surrounding
environment. This book is an important step in the field of
microplastic pollution mitigation in environmental science as it
offers a thorough accounting of the effects of pollutants on the
environment, marine organisms, and the public health implications,
as such it is relevant for aquatic ecologists, oceanographers,
toxicologists, and marine biologists.
Groundwater Contamination in Coastal Aquifers: Assessment and
Management first describes groundwater contamination in coastal
aquifers and then delves into specific topics surrounding various
hydrogeochemical processes. Next, the book covers case studies of
groundwater quality assessment using recent techniques, explains
the various pollutants and contaminants in coastal aquifers, and
covers management and remediation methods to control contamination
in coastal aquifers. This key reference encompasses various topics
in broader perspectives on groundwater contamination in coastal
aquifers, providing a significant contribution to the field of
hydrogeology.
