Biomonitoring of water quality is very much essential for assessing
the overall health of water bodies and safe supply of drinking
water. The chemical nature of toxicant is highly dynamic in
environment with time and space whereas biological system can
integrate all environmental variables over a large period of time
in terms of effect that can be easily measured and quantified. In
view of the above, there is a pressing need to determine the water
quality of natural resources as well as drinking water based on the
standard protocols and guidelines from regulatory agencies. It is
clear that the synthetic chemicals are essential for our society to
maintain the health and well being of the people. However, there
has been a range of detrimental effects on human health and natural
environment. In general, we need to improve our management of waste
chemicals discharged into the air, water and soil environments. New
techniques are needed to predict adverse effects before they occur
and for the treatment of wastes. In addition, a range of social,
political and economic factors will be needed to be taken into
account in order to achieve success.
The rhizosphere is a very complex environment in which the effects
of the plant on soil microorganisms and the effects of the
microorganisms on the plant are interacting and are interdependent.
Plant root exudates and breakdownproducts attract microbes and feed
them and, in turn, the plants often bene't from the microbes.
Interactions among microorg-
ismsandplantrootsareessentialfornutritionalrequirementsoftheplant.
Plant growth, development and productivity are largely dependent on
the soil environment in the root region rhizosphere. The new
techniques of studying the rhizosphere enables us to get a much
better understanding of the dynamics of the rhizosphere population,
such rhizosphere studies beingofinteresttoagriculturists,
soilbiologists, chemists, microbiologists andmolecularbiologists.

most important microbial interactions to consider in the study of
rhizosphere biology. With the growing information on the production
of growth regulators, competitiveness of the microbes in the

This book introduces and reviews the essential principles of
Veterinary Public Health, Zoonoses, One Health, principles and
applications of epidemiology in studying infectious diseases
including foodborne infections and intoxications. The initial
chapters discuss the concept and principal functions of Veterinary
Public Health. The book further covers the impacts of Veterinary
Public Health on human Health particularly in management of
zoonoses. The following section discusses theapplication of
epidemiology in the study of outbreaks, epidemic, pandemics and
their prevention and control strategies. It helps understanding the
factors associated with disease causation transmission and spread
and also investigate the emergence of antimicrobial resistance.
 The chapter on foodborne illnesses illustrates how the
knowledge of epidemiology is applied in the study of diseases in
community, spread of causative agents from farm to fork. The
definition, cause, symptoms, management, control and prevention of
foodborne infection and intoxication are dealt with. The last
chapter introduces the concept, objectives, and definition of One
Health and discusses the advancements made and challenges in One
Health around endemic and emerging zoonotic diseases.Â
The book provides an in-depth discussion regarding inorganic ion
exchangers for students, teachers, and researchers engaged in
conducting research in chemical technology and related areas.
Analytical chemists seeking simple and novel means of using
easy-to-prepare chromatographic materials will find this book
extremely informative. Inorganic Ion Exchangers in Chemical
Analysis is unique in its discussion of column and planar
chromatographic applications of amorphous synthetic inorganic ion
exchangers. The book also covers the historical background of
iorganic ion exchangers, their classification and present status,
and the analytical aspects of these materials.
