Pesticides in the Natural Environment: Sources, Health Risks, and Remediation presents direct and indirect impacts of the use of pesticides on the environment, human health, and agriculture. The book explores sustainable alternatives to pesticide use, along with policies for regulations and remediation techniques. Bridging the gap between regulations and the tangible environmental threat, the book proposes practical solutions while also providing important context on the hazards of pesticides. It highlights the influence on climate change, offering a holistic perspective for researchers in environmental science, policymakers and land managers. Organized into seven distinct sections, the book introduces pesticides and their applications, then goes on to cover their impact on various ecosystems in the natural environment. In section three, health risks are covered, followed by various remediation techniques, such as biological processes, phytoremediation and chemical treatments.Product Identifiers
