Buch, Englisch, 456 Seiten, Format (B × H): 155 mm x 235 mm

The chapters in this book explore a wide range of cutting-edge topics in environmental sciences, including aquatic health assessment, mangrove forest dynamics, and marine ecosystem studies. Several chapters explore the impacts of human activities and recent environmental issues, including illegal fishing policies, bacterial bioremediation for metal removal, the development of constructed wetlands, and sophisticated water quality analyses. Contributors also examined innovative approaches to industrial wastewater treatment, advances in anaerobic digestion for biofuel production, ecosystem service evaluations, and the health risks posed by micro- and nanoplastics. The book concludes with comprehensive analyses of water governance strategies, coastal eutrophication, atmospheric nitrogen deposition, and the potential for microcellulose to mitigate the environmental impact of polymers. This volume offers a crucial roadmap for researchers, policymakers, and environmentalists working towards sustainable management practices and a cleaner future for global ecosystems.

Über Autor(innen)

Dr. M.P. Jonathan actively conducts research in the field of "Environmental Geochemistry," focusing on metal cycling in water, sediment, and air within continental and coastal environments. His research group has initiated a global program, "Blue Flag Beaches: Vision 2030," which involves generating baseline geochemical data for tourist beaches. This study spans 10 different countries, with a goal of creating baseline data sites for approximately 30 countries by 2030. His group has pioneered research in microplastic studies within coastal environments, particularly examining beaches, coral regions, selected commercial fish species, crocodiles, sea lions, and similar environments.
