Ecological and Environmental Health Impacts : Air Pollution, Hygiene, and Climate

Climate change and environmental pollution represent some of the defining challenges of our era, with profound implications for human health, biodiversity, and planetary sustainability.

Climate change and environmental pollution represent some of the defining challenges of our era, with profound implications for human health, biodiversity, and planetary sustainability. Ecological and Environmental Health Impacts: Air Pollution, Hygiene, and Climate offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary examination of the complex relationships between environmental degradation and human health outcomes, bridging the gap between environmental science, public health, and climate research. The book brings together experts to explore the multifaceted impacts of air, water, and soil pollution on human health—from respiratory and cardiovascular diseases to metabolic and neurological disorders. It uniquely integrates discussions of biodiversity loss, carbon sequestration, soil management technologies, and the cascading effects of natural catastrophes including wildfires, floods, and extreme weather events. Uniquely combines air, water, and soil pollution with biodiversity, climate change, and health impacts in one comprehensive volume, unlike narrowly-focused competing titles. Directly links environmental pollution to specific human diseases (respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, metabolic, reproductive disorders), bridging environmental science and public health. Features self-contained chapters written by leading field experts, providing specialized, authoritative knowledge accessible independently or collectively.
