Pollution refers to the excess concentrations of substances in the environment that are harmful to us and may be the cause of widespread environmental problems. Humans are causing accelerated pollution rates because of the quantity of waste we produce and the substances within our waste output management may be achieved through pollution control as well as remediation and restoration. Because of the difficulty in implementing pollution control, persuasion, regulation or economic incentives are often necessary. Much current research concerns how to deal more effectively with hazardous wastes. The present book ‘Environmental Pollution and Management’ incorporates critical articles on various facets of environmental pollution and its possible management strategies. This book covers environmental pollution and related management strategies that might lead to improvement in the environment-safer for living organisms on this globe. This volume will definitely serve not only as an excellent reference material but also as a practical guide for teachers, research workers, students and environmentalists.
