Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Human Health: Pathways of Exposure and Toxicological Impacts is a comprehensive exploration on how microscopic plastic particles affect human health. While much attention has been paid to environmental impacts, this book focuses on the biological consequences of human exposure. It traces the journey of plastics from global production to their breakdown into micro- and nanoplastics, detailing how they enter the body through food, water, air, and skin contact. The book investigates toxicological mechanisms-such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and endocrine disruption-linking plastic exposure to chronic diseases.In addition, it examines how these particles and their chemical additives may harm key systems, including respiratory, digestive, nervous, endocrine, reproductive, and immune systems. Real-world case studies highlight exposure risks across different populations and environments. By integrating human biomonitoring data with advanced risk assessment frameworks, the book offers a scientific foundation for health professionals, researchers, and policymakers.Provides an in-depth analysis of how micro-and nanoplastics interact with biological systems, detailing mechanisms such as oxidative stress, endocrine disruption, and cellular toxicityOffers policymakers and industry leaders guidance on implementing science-backed regulations and safer material alternativesEnables cross-sector collaboration by equipping stakeholders with actionable insights and practical strategies to address plastic pollution's health impacts

Innovative Remediation Technologies for Micro- and Nanoplastics in Water and Wastewater addresses the critical global issue of water contamination by microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs), which are pervasive in manufactured products, and as byproducts of larger plastic debris breakdown. This comprehensive volume delves into the toxicological impacts of MP/NP pollution and explores innovative, sustainable remediation technologies for their removal from water and wastewater. Key features include an in-depth analysis of the toxicological effects of MP/NPs, detailed exploration of sustainable remediation methods, and practical insights into the implementation of these technologies.Given the urgent need for effective solutions, this book provides a single-source reference for academicians, researchers, PhD students, managers, and environmental scientists, offering the latest information on remediation techniques and degradation mechanisms. By presenting global applications and comparing various remediation technologies, this book fills a significant gap in environmental remediation research.Offers in-depth analysis of the toxicological impacts of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) on aquatic ecosystems and human healthProvides the latest information on sustainable remediation technologies for effectively removing MPs and NPs from water and wastewaterCovers global applications and comparisons of various remediation techniques, highlighting their efficacy and practical implementation

Health Impacts of Climate Change: A Global Perspective confronts the most urgent reality of our time: the climate crisis is, at its core, a health crisis. Drawing from the latest research in climate science, public health, and policy, this book offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary look at how global warming is already endangering lives-and what can be done to protect them. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the direct health threats like heatstroke, air pollution, and disaster-related trauma, as well as the less visible dangers: rising zoonotic diseases, crop failures leading to malnutrition, and mental health challenges driven by climate-induced displacement. What sets this book apart is its unwavering focus on equity. It explores how climate change disproportionately impacts the most vulnerable-low-income communities, people in the Global South, and marginalized groups-who contribute the least to global emissions but bear the brunt of the damage. Through case studies, personal narratives, and policy analysis, the book amplifies frontline experiences and calls for climate justice as an essential part of any effective health response. More than just a diagnosis, Health Impacts of Climate Change: A Global Perspective provides a prescription for action. From practical strategies for healthcare professionals to frameworks for policymakers, this book empowers a wide range of readers-from students and researchers to community leaders and concerned citizens. It is an essential guide for anyone seeking to understand the links between climate and health and to join the growing movement toward a resilient, equitable, and healthier future for all.Integrates cutting-edge research from climate science, public health, and policy to provide a holistic view of climate-related health impactsOffers evidence-based strategies and practical tools for clinicians, policymakers, and communities to address health threats in a warming worldExamines the disproportionate health burdens of climate change on marginalized and low-resource populations, supported by epidemiological data and case studies, and underscores the necessity of integrating equity into climate-health policy responses
