She designed and monitored multi-centric clinical trials globally to assess the safety and effectiveness of fertility control technologies. During 1962-1971, as faculty of the Departments of Preventive and Social Medicine at the Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi and the Institute of Medicine Sciences, Varanasi, she helped to develop this new discipline. She has published seven books and contributed chapters to 20 books.

Jonathan has proficient expertise in the fields of marine geochemistry and trace metal pollution of aquatic environments. He earned a doctorate in the field of geology from the University of Madras, Chennai, India. He is the author of more than 140 research articles on numerous multidisciplinary aspects of coastal pollution in reputed journals. With a wide vision to generate a database of the pollution status in tourist beaches all over the world, he has completed 10 countries till date and it is expanding year by year to other countries. He is a great teacher in orienting and inspiring young researchers to develop an urge for writing good scientific articles through his “Art of Scientific Writing” course. He has partaken in various bilateral and mega scientific research projects in India, Mexico, South Africa, Colombia, and Ecuador which deal with coastal pollution and development/mitigation efforts through mangroves. His research interests include geochemical process in aquatic systems, environmental geology, tsunami (past and present), microplastic degradation, fish toxicology, Geographic Information System (GIS) applications and innovative approaches in pollution studies. Presently, he works as a research professor and is also a Member of National System of Researchers (Sistema Nacional de Investigadores - SNI Level III) of the National Council for Humanities and Technological Sciences [Consejo Nacional de Humanidades Ciencias y Tecnologías (CONAHCYT)]. He also attests his abilities as the Coordinator of Doctorate program at the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies on Environment and Development [Centro Interdisciplinario de Investigaciones y Estudios sobre Medio Ambiente y Desarrollo (CIIEMAD)], National Polytechnic Institute [Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN)], Mexico City, Mexico.

"This book is a large, edited volume, consisting of 21 chapters on health problems related to human-caused climate change. The articles range very widely in topic, length, detail, and quality.... does an excellent job of sampling the wide universe of climate change and health.... the coverage of microplastics and Sargassum weed (as pollutant) is so outstanding that it can be a major resource.... For general accounts of mental health and vulnerable populations, it provides valuable introductions. For solutions, it provides a few offerings that need extension. For microplastics and Sargassum weed, it provides accounts that anyone interested in public health aspects of these issues, especially in the 'global South', really should read.... Public health workers and other people with interests in the health aspects of climate change will want and need to consult this work for the specific cases that are covered in detail, especially microplastics, Sargassum, and vulnerable populations in the geographical areas covered."
