Summary
This edited volume compiles new research and perspectives on environmental health literacy, with chapters covering microplastic pollution, plastic impacts on children's health, air quality, and environmental justice.

The exploration extends to using new online databases to identify environmental justice issues and intriguing studies focused on emerging countries, covering topics such as air quality in hospitals, communicable diseases, and urban waste challenges. The journey culminates in a thought-provoking perspective chapter applying the groundbreaking Affordance-based Reverse Systems Engineering approach, adding a unique dimension to the book's overarching theme. This book is not merely a collection of insights; it is a manifesto for a healthier and more sustainable world.
