One Health: Challenges for the 21st Century is a transdisciplinary approach to health, considering the interdependency of human, animal, and environmental health. This approach to health promotion and disease prevention calls for integrative and interdisciplinary cooperation. From zoonotic diseases to environmental degradation, this book introduces core concepts of the One Health approach by presenting focal key challenges. The objective of this book is not centered solely on epidemiologic interactions of infectious diseases but also on the environmental and ecological implications of current major threats.

Written by international experts, the ten chapters provide a comprehensive approach consisting of core concepts, practical examples, and applications that align with key challenges to public health. Therefore, this book is a valuable resource for public health professionals, veterinarians, physicians, environmental researchers, policymakers, and other professionals who seek to understand the overarching complexities of health.

Examines the interconnection between humans, animals and the environment and how those relationships impact prevention, early detection, containment, and response to public health risks Offers concise and comprehensive coverage of the One Health concept, application to key public health challenges, and current and future developments Presents insights from an interdisciplinary group of international experts, containing examples to illustrate One Health framework and issues

Soil Pollution: From Monitoring to Remediation, Second Edition provides a comprehensive overview of the causes of soil pollution, distribution, transport, and fate of pollutants and transformation of pollutants in soil and metabolite accumulation. Soil pollution has increased over the last decades and may pose a risk for human and ecological health. The book expands and updates on current knowledge with an increased focus on PFAs and micronanplastics. The new edition also includes a new chapter on the One Health initiative.In this book, researchers and students in soil science will find appropriate and comprehensive information on organic, inorganic, and nanoparticle pollutants in soil, methodologies for their monitoring, and data reporting processes in order to gain adequate insights of pollution problems caused by these pollutants.Provides concise and comprehensive coverage of soil pollution related issues, along with techniques for pollutants' monitoring, protection, and remediationPresents real examples to illustrate cases of soil pollution, and of techniques used for monitoring the pollutantsIncludes discussions on the ecotoxicological and human effects of soil pollution

This reference work presents an authoritative review of microplastics as vectors of environmental contaminants and provides a comprehensive coverage of their ecotoxicological and toxicological effects. Divided into four sections, this book outlines the current analytical techniques and applications for sampling, processing analysis, and data reporting of microplastics pollution in the environment, explores microplastics degradation and interaction with chemical pollutants, discusses the fate and behaviour of microplastics in the environment, and provides valuable insights about prevention, regulation and remediation of microplastics pollution.Written by interdisciplinary expert academics and practitioners, this reference work will appeal to a wide readership of students, researchers and professionals interested in this field, including marine scientists, environmental scientists, analytical chemists, organic chemists, biochemists, biologists, polymer scientists, and toxicologists.
