1st Edition
Environmental Nexus Approach Management of Water, Waste, and Soil
Environmental Nexus Approach: Management of Water, Waste, and Soil provides the linkages between environmental resources, such as water, waste, and soil, to deal with the sustainable management of resources. It shows the nexus approach as a policy-relevant means of environmental management by focusing on integrated management of water, waste, and soil resources. It synthesizes interdisciplinary theory, concepts, definitions, models, and findings involved in complex global sustainability problem-solving, making it an essential guide and reference. It includes real-world examples and applications making the book accessible to a broader interdisciplinary readership.
Features:
- Explores cutting-edge developments in the environmental nexus approach of water, waste, and soil.
- Introduces the key mechanisms regarding antibiotic resistance genes, microplastics, and other emerging contaminants in the water, waste, and soil nexus.
- Investigates the fate and behavior of heavy metals, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, plastics, and pesticides in soil systems and their risk assessment.
- Provides insights into the latest developments, current research perspectives, technology development, critical thinking and societal requirements of the environmental nexus between water, waste, and soil.
This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in environmental science and engineering, environmental engineering, and waste management.
