Reviews
“This book seems to be a potential as a reference of some cornerstones to carry over this ecosystem to the next ages. It has a wide angled perspective of environmental aspects comprising salinity, harmful effects to living cell, xenobiotics, abiotic and biotic impacts. I strongly recommend the book to the academicians and researchers willing to contribute to the particular branch of environmental science.” – <strong>Reviewed by Bahri Basaran, Dr., Professor, EGE University, Department of Leather Engineering, Turkey</strong>
“This book provides readers an in-depth knowledge on important topics related to anthropogenic activities that can degrade and affect terrestrial, aquatic and human health. I highly recommend the book to the academic and professional audience who are interested in conserving the ecosytems health and sustainability. I am also confident that the book can be used as training manual in environment related training programs.” – Mekonnen Hailemariam, Professor, College of Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture-Addis Ababa University/ & Value Addition Expert – COMESA/Leather and Leather Products Institute
Additional Information
It is anticipated that in taking cognizance of the wellbeing of the various ecosystems and public health, crucial recommendations are available to enrich on awareness creation, improved scope of knowledge and scholastic in-depths for further research. Thus, the benefits are directed towards professionals in environmental conservancy and management, ecotoxicologist, agronomists and those in the tanning industry. Postgraduate students, researchers in biosciences and general public who intend to expound their knowledge base on day to day agronomical and agrobased processing impact to environment.
