There is a growing global concern about rapidly changing environmental conditions, which is, in turn, linked closely with human health. This book focuses on environmental health issues, scientific understanding of causes, and promising future approaches to control the foremost environmental problems in developed and developing countries. This book emphasizes on the broad spectrum of information resources required in the field of environmental health and provides a detailed review of manenvironmenthealth interrelationships and a basic background for scientists working in the area of environmental health. It offers an overview of the methodology and paradigms of the inter-related, dynamic, evolving fields, ranging from ecology to epidemiology and from environmental health to toxicology. The main features of the book are an evaluation of environmental parameters (such as air quality, water quality, environmental emission) in the perspective of human health deterioration and an improvement of awareness on public health status as a component of human welfare. The chapters include the response of human body to environmental pollutants and also encompass the effects of different environmental factors: physical, chemical, and biological agents of environmental contamination; vectors for dissemination (air, water, soil); solid and hazardous waste, and susceptible populations; bio-markers and risk analysis; the scientific basis for policy decision; occupational health and safety issues; emerging global environmental problems like dissemination of antibiotics in environment and other important areas such as metagenomics application for environmental health. This book is a fundamental text for policy- makers requiring a scientific explanation, for the development of innovative environmental regulations and exposure reduction strategies, scientists researching public health and environmental contamination, and members of the community concerned in human health issues.

The Indian Nitrogen Assessment: Sources of Reactive Nitrogen, Environmental and Climate Effects, and Management Options and Policies provides a reference for anyone interested in Reactive N, from researchers and students, to environmental managers. Although the main processes that affect the N cycle are well known, this book is focused on the causes and effects of disruption in the N cycle, specifically in India. The book helps readers gain a precise understanding of the scale of nitrogen use, misuse, and release through various agricultural, industrial, vehicular, and other activities, also including discussions on its contribution to the pollution of water and air. Drawing upon the collective work of the Indian Nitrogen Group, this reference book helps solve the challenges associated with providing reliable estimates of nitrogen transfers within different ecosystems, also presenting the next steps that should be taken in the development of balanced, cost-effective, and feasible strategies to reduce the amount of reactive nitrogen. - Identifies all significant sources of reactive nitrogen flows and their contribution to the nitrogen-cycle on a national, regional, and global level - Covers nitrogen management across sectors, including the environment, food security, energy, and health - Provides a single reference on reactive nitrogen in India to help in a number of activities, including the evaluation, analysis, synthesis, documentation, and communications on reactive nitrogen

The scope of occupational safety and health (OSH) has evolved gradually and consistently in response to variations that are socio-political or scientific, or generated by profit-seeking. In recent years, globalization of the world’s economies and its impacts have been recognized as the greatest force for change in the domain of the workplace, and accordingly in the scope of OSH, both in positive and negative ways. OSH is a key element in achieving suitable working conditions and safety cultures. Environmental Health and Occupational Safety is a quick, easy-to-consult comprehensive overview of the issues pertaining to environmental health, and OSH. This book equips readers with occupational health risks and hazardous environments encountered in various industrial and workplace settings besides providing basic information on issues related to technology, management, regulatory compliance, and important topics like air, water, and vector-borne diseases. Features: • Clearly explains the key concepts of environmental health and OSH, and explores the benchmarks in the history of OSH. • Talks about OSH as a sub-discipline of environmental health and its association with other disciplines. • Comprehensive coverage of technical and scientific ideas underlying regulatory requirements and elucidates diverse facets of environmental health and OSH using flow charts and tabulations. • The fact file at the beginning of each chapter highlights the key points on the themes covered in the chapter. This book serves as a reference book for advanced students and researchers in the disciplines of environmental sciences, environmental health, eco-toxicology, pharmacology, public health, and OSH, as well as industry and government departments dealing with environmental regulations and directives.
