"In recent years, the field of environmental science has acquired great importance due to increased pollution stress. Deciphering of environmental issues and their solutions plays a significant role in monitoring the adverse effects of environmental pollution on the health of man and livestock and in developing the cost effective antidotes. There is urgent need for taking remedial steps. Presently, main emphasis has been laid down on reckoning the burning environmental issues with possible solutions.
This book is a unique compilation of most recent research articles of eminent scientist of the concerned fields of environmental science, which will be helpful for students, research scholars, professors, scientists as well as for policy makers in achieving the goal of better environment."
