This book presents select proceedings of the International Conference on Pollution Control for Clean Environment (ICPCCE-2023). It introduces readers to the recent emerging pollutants in air and water environments and in solid waste and sheds light on the newly developed control strategies. The book discusses various topics including the occurrence of emerging contaminants, micropollutants in water, wastewater and aquatic environments, occurrence pathways, surface and groundwater pollution and risk and impact assessment of pollution. The chapters provide advanced information topics including effective monitoring, detection, sustainable practices, cleaner and innovative water and wastewater treatment technologies, and emerging contaminant removal. The book also includes information on energy-positive technologies and recent advances in the upgradation of existing systems. It also extensively discusses life cycle assessment and the application of environmental indicators and circular economy in pollution control strategies. The book covers the interaction of pollutants in the atmosphere and discusses innovative air pollution control strategies, including a detailed discussion of carbon capture and storage. The book presents various strategies for managing solid waste and discusses several novel technologies for the management of the present-day concern of plastic waste and e-waste. Given the present-day need for the recovery and re-use of various waste materials, this book delves extensively into how waste materials can be used for different purposes. It also talks about the recovery of energy and other useful by-products contributing towards economical and sustainable solutions. The book discusses various case studies on recently developed technologies and evaluates a wide range of technologies for pollutant removal and their implementation in the field. This book provides a ready reference for environmental engineers, practitioners, policymakers and planners. It also served as a practical guide for industrial engineers, government bodies, ecologists and researchers.

From masks and face shields through at-home tests and sanitizer bottles, many of the tools we used to keep safe during the global COVID-19 pandemic had two things in common: first, they were at least in part made of plastic, and second, they were disposable. But what was the fate of all of the plastics that we used throughout the pandemic, and how has the management of plastic waste changed in the COVID years? This book showcases the research findings and to unravel the current scenario of plastic pollution due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and goes on to report innovative ways to mitigate increasing plastic pollution beyond personal protective equipment (PPE). Through twelve chapters, this volume offers a cutting-edge overview the impact of COVID-19-associated plastic pollution in environmental and economic terms. It also analyzes the effects of plastic waste on human health.

This book is a collection of selected, peer-reviewed papers presented at the 2023 11th International Conference on Environment Pollution and Prevention (ICEPP 2023), which was held in Brisbane, Australia, November 10–12, 2023. With the worldwide increase in industrialization and movement of people towards larger cities, there has been a progressive increase in pollution of the environment. The issues surrounding air, water, soil and land pollution are now considered of global concern. Minimization of pollution involves the repeated reuse of products, reduction in waste generation and processing and recycling of resources into new products. Pollution prevention practices not only reduce waste, but also improve safety and decrease disposal costs. The book is useful for students, academics, entrepreneurs and professionals who are working in the important field of pollution of the environment and its minimization and prevention.
