Keywords: Environmental management. ; Agriculture. ; Landscape ecology. ; Pollution. ; Environmental health. ; Environmental Management. ; Agriculture. ; Landscape Ecology. ; Pollution. ; Environmental Health.

Description / Table of Contents: Introduction -- 1 Causes of Degradation -- 2 Treatment or Remediation Technologies -- 3 Impacts of Degradation -- 4 Socio-economic Framework -- 5 Conclusions and Recommendations.

Abstract: This book discusses problems, challenges, and mitigation strategies in the wake of environmental degradation. It suggests proactive solutions to problems of environmental degradation for strategic planning as well as their effective delivery, and problems arising due to growth in population, industry, and land use change. The uniqueness of the book is its broader spectrum of coverage with related interconnections and interdependence of various aspects. Presenting a wide spectrum of viewpoints and approaches, the book covers topics, such as deforestation impacts (land use and land cover, soil erosion); impacts on climate change and human health; treatment of industrial, municipal, biological waste disposal and their impacts on soil, water, and air; recovery/remediation processes and technologies; impacts of pesticides and chemical fertilizers on soil degradation and groundwater; socio-economic environmental sustainability; and socio-economic health impacts. Particular focus is placed on strategic planning and methodological handling of environmental degradation and remediation through various processes and treatment technologies. This book will be useful to researchers, professionals, policy makers, and environmental engineers.

Description / Table of Contents: Introduction -- Part-I: Remediation and management strategies -- Chapter 1: Fluoride contamination in water and its management -- Chapter 2: Fluoride pollution control techniques and principles -- Chapter 3: Hybrid phytoremediation of fluoride and its remediation strategies -- Part-II: Fluoride removal treatments -- Chapter 4: Physicochemical and biological methods for the removal of fluoride -- Chapter 5: Removal of fluoride from water through iron-based adsorbents -- Chapter 6: Removal of fluoride from water through fly-ash beds -- Chapter 7: Fluoride removal from industrial wastewater using filtration and chemical precipitation -- Part-III: Fluoride effect on human health -- Chapter 8: Fluoride contamination, health problems and remediation, methods in water: A comprehensive review -- Chapter 9: Effect of fluoride pollution on the living beings with an emphasis on human health hazard -- Chapter 10: Nutritional status and dental fluorosis among humans in communities with different water source fluoride concentrations -- Part-IV: Status, government policy, and environmental regulating bodies -- Chapter 11: Global perspective scenario: fluoride contamination in water -- Chapter 12: Government rules and public involvement of wastewater discharge containing fluoride -- Chapter 13: Future frameworks for fluoride and algorithms for environmental systems -- Part-V: Concluding remarks along with recommendation.

Abstract: This book presents an overview of the techniques available today for the removal of fluoride contamination/pollutants/species from water. Also covered are traditionally applied techniques for the removal of fluoride pollutants/species, including oxidation, coagulation-flocculation, and membrane techniques. Recently, progress has been made on the utility of various nanoparticles for the extraction of contaminants from water. Fluoride contamination is affecting water resources quality worldwide as a result of human activities, such as mining and pesticide use. Due to the high risk of fluoride exposure, specific water treatment processes are required to meet more severe water quality standards. A better understanding of currently available processes is necessary to develop economical, efficient, and effective methods for fluoride removal. Fluoride can either be coated, adsorbed using a wide range of both mineral and organic constituents or can be directly rejected by membrane processes, such as reverse osmosis and nanofiltration. Recent developments of submerged hybrid membrane systems, such as membrane bioreactors in wastewater treatment, provide alternative technologies for fluoride treatment. .
