Controlling Environmental Pollution
AI summary Read the abstract
This book on controlling environmental pollution provided practical solutions for managing pollutants from agricultural, biomedical, pharmaceutical, and industrial sources, including chapters specifically addressing microplastics as emerging agricultural contaminants. The authors examined innovative remediation and monitoring approaches while discussing regulatory frameworks and economic strategies for pollution reduction.
Environmental pollution is one of the most critical issues of our time, impacting public health, ecosystems, and global economies.In Chapter "Introduction", Ariffin et al. emphasize that communities should adopt growth mindsets that enhance environmental sustainability by adapting to and profiting from severe environmental conditions.The book Controlling Environmental Pollution-Practical Solutions aims to give readers a comprehensive understanding of various types of pollution, particularly from the agro-based industry, medical industry, traffic, e-waste, polluted soil and water pollution.It also discusses innovative approaches to mitigating these pollutants while generating economic value.In Chapter "Environmental Pollution in Agriculture Sector; Current Trend and Future Impacts", Salikin et al. offer an in-depth examination of chemical and anthropogenic pollution in agriculture, covering air contaminants, pesticides, fertilizers, heavy metals, microplastics, antibiotics, veterinary medications, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs).Chapter "Environmental Pollution in Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sectors", authored by Abd Kadir et al., addresses the various types of biomedical waste, their environmental and health impacts, relevant regulations and legislation, and the challenges of managing biomedical waste, particularly during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.In Chapter "Pollution by Microorganisms and Its Impact on the Food Safety", Ab Rashid et al. provide comprehensive insights into the diverse sources and associated risks of microbial contamination in agricultural and aquacultural products.Mohd Aminuddin et al. explore the relationship between traffic-related pollution and the number of vehicles in Chapter "Relationship Between Traffic Density and Particulate Matter Concentrations".Chapter "Indoor Air Quality Level in Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Train in Malaysia", by Samsuddin et al., examines the correlation between CO 2 concentrations, CO levels, relative humidity, temperature, and the number of train passengers.In Chapter "Length-Weight Relationship and Condition Factor of Native Fish Population in Kenyir Lake Basin: Environmental Health Impacts and Mitigations Strategies", Abd Wahab et al. investigate the Length-Weight Relationship (LWR) and condition factor of three native species from the Kenyir Lake Basin, discussing the environmental impacts and mitigation strategies.

Environmental Pollution Control: Measures, Prevention and Safety Management
AI summary Read the abstract
This book pulls together existing research on how pollution in our air, water, and soil threatens both human health and our food supply, covering issues like plastic waste, industrial pollution, and carbon emissions. It matters because these forms of pollution don't just harm the environment—they can contaminate the food we eat and disproportionately hurt vulnerable communities, making pollution control a public health issue, not just an environmental one. The book also looks at practical solutions, including new technology like AI, that could help monitor and reduce these risks going forward.
Recent Trends in Environmental Toxicology

This study assessed the effects of polyethylene microplastics on soil nematode communities, finding reduced species richness and shifts in feeding group composition after prolonged exposure. The results suggest microplastics disrupt soil food web structure, potentially impairing decomposition and nutrient cycling services provided by nematode communities.
