Bioremediation of Environmental Toxicants: Toxicants, Sources, Mechanism, Impact on Human Health, and Bioremediation Approaches provides insight into the nature of environmental toxicants, the impact on human health, and their bioremediation approaches, viz. nanotechnology, microorganism, and phytoremediation. Various environmental toxicants such as pesticides, heavy metals, plastic and microplastic waste, dyes used in industries, colorants, corrosive agents, and biomedical waste show different levels of mechanism of toxicity, possessing a significant threat to human health as well as the stability of ecosystems. To decontaminate the environment from these toxic compounds a low-cost effective technique is required. Bioremediation is a sustainable approach by which hazardous pollutants are converted into less harmful or non-toxic compounds using effective techniques to detoxify contaminated soil and water. In recent years, research has steadily concentrated on the various bioremediation approaches, viz. nanoparticle, microorganism, and phytoremediation.KEY FEATURESShowcases contributions from high-profile experts in the fieldHighlights the current state and importance of environmental bioremediationProvides detailed knowledge about the mechanism, toxicity, and action of environmental toxicantsFurnishes a deep understanding of environment–human interaction and the after effectsOutlines the state-of-the-art bioremediation technologies, viz. nanotechnology, microbial- and plant-based mitigation of environmental toxicants

The toolkit of nanomaterials covered in this new book, which ranges from magnetic nanoparticles to quantum dots, offers up new possibilities for the preservation and visualization of latent prints and turns forensic science into an area where the unseen is made strikingly visible. This volume acts as a thorough guide through experimental procedures, theoretical underpinnings, and practical uses of nanoparticle-based fingerprinting. Additionally, it examines the potential challenges, future directions, and ethical considerations associated with the adoption of nanoparticle-based fingerprinting methods.The volume investigates fingerprinting techniques that involve titanium dioxide nanoparticles, fluorescent nanoparticles, gold and silver nanoparticles, green synthesis of nanoparticles, iron oxide nanoparticles, carbon dots (CDs) and cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanoparticles, and more.The multidisciplinary approach taken by this book fosters a comprehensive knowledge of this cutting-edge topic by reflecting the joint work of specialists from chemistry, forensic science, and nanoscience. Contributions from leading experts in the fields of nanotechnology and forensic science enrich this volume with diverse perspectives and practical insights.Whether you are a seasoned forensic professional, a researcher in materials science, or a student exploring the intersections of nanotechnology and criminalistics, this book aims to serve as a definitive resource on the transformative role of nanoparticles in advancing fingerprint analysis.

This book showcases some of the research that was presented at the RTESD 2023, the 3rd international conference on recent trends in environment and sustainable development, with topics that explore important global issues. This book covers cutting-edge research and creative solutions in four key areas: nanomaterials in biological applications, renewable energy, agrifood, and sustainability. Discussions about environment protection cover a wide range of topics, including how to manage environment resources sustainably, how to improve governance, and the effects of climate change. Chapters on energy production, urban and industrial systems, governance issues, and the crucial shift towards circular economies are all included in the section on energy. The Agrifood domain looks into innovative food processing techniques, the impact of climate change on food production, and sustainable agricultural practises. As a final note, the Sustainability segment covers a wide range of subjects, including the sustainability of the bioeconomy, cyber-physical systems, the effects of climate change, and resource efficiency, supporting the urgent need for a comprehensive strategy for achieving global sustainability.

This book is an exploration of paramount significance, delving into the fundamental principles, methodologies, and cutting-edge techniques that underpin the discipline of environmental forensics.
