The contamination of the biological and physical components of the environment to an extent where normal environmental processes are severely affected is termed as environmental pollution. The pollutants can be chemical substances or a form of energy such as heat, noise and light. The severity of a pollutant is determined by its concentration, chemical nature and persistence. Air pollution, thermal pollution, water pollution, plastic pollution, noise pollution, soil contamination, radioactive contamination, light pollution and littering are the major forms of environmental pollution. It can be caused by various natural and anthropogenic sources such as construction, combustion, agriculture, mining and warfare. The book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of environmental pollution. Some of the diverse topics covered herein address the varied branches that fall under this category. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels.
