Novel Environmental Remediation Techniques for Enhancing Public Health and Ecosystem Resilience
Summary
This review covers novel environmental remediation techniques for addressing pollution from deforestation, urbanization, and industrial activity, including microplastics, heavy metals, and organic contaminants. It surveys biological, chemical, and physical remediation approaches with potential to restore ecosystem resilience and reduce the public health burden of environmental pollution.
Aim: To address novel environmental remediation techniques for enhancing public health and ecosystem resilience. Problem Statement: Anthropogenic activities such as deforestation, unplanned urbanization, unsafe agricultural practices and use of wasteful energy reservoirs together with population explosion and rapid industrialization have caused serious environmental pollution affecting public health and disrupting the ecosystem. Identified Prominent pollutants causing environmental worries have also been identified. Significance of Study: The cleaning-up of hazardous contaminants using novel environmental remediation techniques to enhance public health and ecosystem resilience is imperative. Methodology: Previous journals, literatures and other relevant materials which address environmental remediation techniques for contaminants removal were consulted. Discussion: This review article addresses novel remediation methods for handling new contaminants together with innovative technological means in cleaning environment to achieve ecosystem resilience and enhance public health. Heavy metals, microplastics, pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals are the prominent emerging contaminants intimidating environmental quality and public health. There is need to take proactive steps to minimize the concentrations of these toxins which remain adamant in air, soil and water. Novel environmental remediation techniques for pollutants removal to enhance public health and ecosystem resilience are bioremediation, advanced oxidation processes, nanotechnology and using biomimetic materials and coatings. Conclusion: It is vital to give supremacy to remediation initiatives to ascertain ecological justice. Overcoming pollution problem in order to restore ecological quality and build more resilient and healthier environment is achievable using novel environmental remediation techniques.
