The environment is diverse and robust, so requires proper and in-depth exploratory studies. The diffuse nature of the ecosystem makes it urgent and imperative to have a wider and more comprehensive study to elucidate this area of specialization. This tergiversating concept of the environment has given the need and birth of this book titled ‘Environmental Pollution Studies (Water and Air).

This book is a 3-chaptered one but rich in the areas of pollution studies delving into basic concepts of pollution, atmospheric and solid waste (climate change, greenhouse effect, ozone chemistry, forms of pollution), solid waste management, waste dumps and treatment methods), food additives and preservatives (including uses, and application of food additives, harmful effects and basic concepts such as acclimation, bioavailability, etc).

This book is of essence to both environmentalists and lovers of the environment as it explains and exposes contemporary issues and challenges in the environment, especially the atmosphere, water and waste management. It is expository and can be very useful to both undergraduate and postgraduate candidates in environmental studies. This book is a must-read and will achieve the design and aim of the authors.
