The purpose of this book is to highlight existing knowledge about various methods of soil-borne disease control, including: steam soil disinfection, crop rotation, hydroponic and soil-less culture systems, soil amendments, soil solarization, natural compounds grafting and biological control. It also mentions the different types of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and parasitic worms, including the positive and negative effects of soilborne pathogen control methods. The book further discusses environmental factors like drainage, humidity, soil composition, temperature and PH which affect soilborne pathogen reproduction. Suggesting that regular checks on plant health can determine whether soil borne pathogens are present or not. The author also reflects on the relationship between soilborne pathogens and climate change trends globally.

The food safety and contamination practices were explained in this book. The microbial contamination of the food products was emphasized in detail. Some of the harmful bacteria that produces food borne toxins were illustrated. Some of the advanced techniques that can be used in the analysis of the food contaminants was explained in this book. Various types of flavors that enhance the customer's satisfaction was explained with examples. Some of the molecular techniques that can determine the quality of the food was discussed. Some of the chemical contaminants that spoil the food products were described with popular examples. The evaluation of food safety protocols was described by considering the local legislations of various countries. The process of food fortification and its role in the food processing industries was discussed in detail.

Geomicrobiology examines the aspects of geomicrobiology and its physiological aspects. It includes molecular and non-molecular methodologies used in geomicrobiology. It provides the reader with the insights of geomicrobiology to understand the geomicrobiology of fossil fuels and the molecular and non-molecular methodologies involved in geomicrobiology along with its applications. This book also discusses about geomicrobiology of iron and sulfur, geomicrobiology of fossil fuels and applications of geo-microbiology.

Environmental Neurotoxicology explain the readers the various fundamentals of the environmental neurotoxicology and informs them about the various environmental chemicals and their relationship with human neurotoxicology. It explains the various biological markers in neurotoxicology and explain the ways in which the testing for neurotoxicology is done, Also discussed in the book is the neurotoxicology of metals, the explanation of cadmium and its neurotoxic effects, the toxicity of lead and the neuropsychological impacts related to it and the behavioral toxicology and the relations with environmental health science.
