Environmental pollution refers to the contamination of the natural environment due to the introduction of chemical substances or energy in the form of heat, noise or light. Such chemical and energy species, or pollutants, can be artificially produced or occur in nature. Environmental pollution can be classified as air pollution, water pollution, soil contamination, thermal pollution, noise pollution, radioactive contamination, etc. Motor vehicle emissions, nuclear waste disposal activity, petrochemical plants, burning of natural vegetation, use of pesticides and herbicides, nuclear waste disposal activity, etc. are primary causes of environmental pollution. Pollution is harmful to the environment and to humans in several ways. Adverse air and water quality can kill organisms and cause diseases, while mercury ingestion is associated with neurologic symptoms and developmental deficits in children. Through adroit pollution control measures, particularly by adopting the practices of reusing, recycling, composting and minimizing wastes, pollution can be effectively managed. This book covers in detail some existent theories and innovative concepts revolving around environmental pollution. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied causes, impacts and management techniques of environmental pollution. This book is a complete source of knowledge on the present status of this important field.

The contamination of an ecosystem and its surroundings through different types of pollutants is known as environmental pollution. The pollutant can be a substance existing as a solid, liquid or gas. It can also be a form of energy such as heat, sound or radioactivity. The different types of pollution are generally categorized according to the environment into air pollution, water pollution and land pollution. It typically has a negative impact on the wildlife as well as human health. There are numerous causes of environmental pollution such as oil spillage, smoke from industries and soil erosion. There are various techniques and methods which are used to remove the pollutants from the environment. These fall under the domain of environmental remediation. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to environmental pollution. Most of the topics introduced herein cover the causes, impacts and remediation techniques to counter this problem. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.

Environmental pollution is caused when contaminants enter the natural environment and cause adverse changes. Pollution can be of different types, such as air pollution, soil pollution and water pollution, among others. Combustion, mining, warfare, construction and agriculture are the anthropogenic contributors of air pollution. Other sources and activities that prove hazardous to the environment include nuclear waste disposal, coal-powered petrochemical plants, heavy industries, burning of natural vegetation, use of pesticides and herbicides, etc. Pollution affects human health significantly and can lead to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, neurological problems, birth defects and cancers, besides others. The environmental effects of pollution include ocean acidification, biomagnification, occurrence of acid rain, global warming, biodiversity reduction, etc. The practices of recycling and reusing, use of compost, employing industrial wastewater treatment and sewage treatment are some of the effective techniques of controlling environmental pollution. This book unravels the recent studies in this field. Also included herein is a detailed explanation of the various causes, effects and control measures of environmental pollution. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.

Pollution: Causes, Effects and Control is the fourth edition of a best-selling introductory level book dealing with chemical and radioactive pollution in its broadest sense. The scope of the book ranges from the sources of pollutants and their environmental behaviour, to their effects on human and non-human receptors, to the technologies and strategies available for control. The fourth edition has been wholly revised and updated from the previous edition due to the rapid pace of developments in this field. Topics covered include chemical pollution of freshwater and marine environments, drinking water quality, water pollution biology, sewage and its treatment, toxic wastes, air pollution and atmospheric chemistry, control of pollutant emissions, land contamination, solid waste management, clean technologies, persistent organic pollutants in the environment, environmental radioactivity, health effects of environmental chemicals, legal control of pollution and integrated pollution control. There is a completely new chapter on Clean Technologies and Industrial Ecology, reflecting the growing importance of pollution prevention as opposed to end-of-pipe solutions. Whilst originally intended as an introductory reference work for professionals within the field, the book has been widely adopted for teaching purposes at the undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Global Warming: Causes, Impacts and Solutions covers all aspects of global warming including its causes, impacts, and engineering solutions. Energy and environment policies and strategies are scientifically discussed to expose the best ways to reduce global warming effects and protect the environment and energy sources affected by human activities. The importance of green energy consumption on the reduction of global warming, energy saving and energy security are also discussed. This book also focuses on energy management and conservation strategies for better utilization of energy sources and technologies in buildings and industry as well as ways of improving energy efficiency at the end use, and introduces basic methods for designing and sizing cost-effective systems and determining whether it is economically efficient to invest in specific energy efficiency or renewable energy projects, and describes energy audit producers commonly used to improve the energy efficiency of residential and commercial buildings as well as industrial facilities. These features and more provide the tools necessary to reduce global warming and to improve energy management leading to higher energy efficiencies. In order to reduce the negative effects of global warming due to excessive use of fossil fuel technologies, the following alternative technologies are introduced from the engineering perspective: fuel cells, solar power generation technologies, energy recovery technologies, hydrogen energy technologies, wind energy technologies, geothermal energy technologies, and biomass energy technologies. These technologies are presented in detail and modeling studies including case studies can also be found in this book.
