Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Problems and Solutions
This book collects information on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, especially from the agro-ecosystems. It highlights the GHG emission mitigation measures using environmentally viable and cost-effective technologies. The title deals with the evaluation of the emission of GHGs from different agriculture sources, estimates the emission trends, analyzes the affecting drivers and assesses the feasible and suitable mitigation options for local farmers. Agricultural activities including land clearing, crop cultivation, fertilizer application, irrigation pattern, animal husbandry and fisheries have a significant impact on GHG production and emissions. The application of excess amount of inorganic fe...
Metals and Metalloids in Plant Signaling
In many parts of the world, soil and water are slightly to moderately contaminated with metals and metalloids such as Cd, Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Cr, Pb, Si, B and As. This could be due to long-term use of phosphatic fertilizers, sewage sludge application, dust from smelters, industrial waste and bad watering practices in agricultural lands. Beside natural factors, human activities have contributed to the enormous increase in heavy metal and/or metalloid pollution in the environment. Metal and metalloid stress are major abiotic stress factors that limit crop production and reduce agricultural yield. The primary response of plants is the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon exposure to hi...
Development in Wastewater Treatment Research and Processes
Removal of Emerging Contaminants from Wastewater through Bio-nanotechnology showcases profiles of the nonregulated contaminants termed as "emerging contaminants, which comprise industrial and household persistent toxic chemicals, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), pesticides, surfactants and surfactant residues, plasticizers and industrial additives, manufactured nanomaterials and nanoparticles, microplastics, etc. that are used extensively in everyday life. The occurrence of "emerging contaminants in wastewater, and their behavior during wastewater treatment and production of drinking water are key issues in the reuse and recycling of water resources. This book focuses on t...

In the last part it covers various additive manufacturing techniques e.g. for implants and prosthetic limbs.
Sustainable Agriculture Reviews 29
This book addresses the threats that hamper the achievement of sustainable soil management: soil erosion by water and wind, soil organic carbon loss, nutrient imbalance, salinization, contamination, acidification, loss of soil biodiversity, surface sealing, compaction and water logging. The specific focus is on preventive and ameliorative strategies for sustainable soil management.
Biomedical Applications of Metals
Focused more specifically on the recent advances in applications of various metals and their complexes used in biomedicine, particularly in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases. The editors give equal importance to other key aspects such as toxicological issues and safety concerns. The application of metals in the biomedical field is highly interdisciplinary and has a broad appeal across all biomedical specialties. Biomedical Applications of Metals is particularly focused on covering the role of metals in medicine and the development of novel therapeutic products and solutions in the form of alternative medicines, and some topics on Indian traditional medicine i.e., “Ayurveda”...
