The process of introducing materials that are harmful in nature, into the environment is termed as pollution. These materials are also known as contaminants or pollutants. They are released into the environment through various mechanisms such as smokes from automobiles, burning of coal, use of pesticides, etc. Pollution is broadly classified into air pollution, water pollution, land pollution, noise pollution and light pollution. Environmental health is a sub-discipline of public health which focuses on the impact of natural and built environment on human health. It is further divided into environmental and occupational medicine, epidemiology, toxicology, and environmental science. Some of the major health concerns addressed by this discipline are air quality, climate change and solid waste management. The book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of pollution and environmental health, and the recent researches in this field. There has been rapid progress in this field and its applications are finding their way across multiple industries. This book on pollution and environmental health is a collective contribution of a renowned group of international experts.
