Health and environment are intricately linked, as the quality of our surroundings directly impacts our well-being. Clean air, water, and soil are essential for maintaining good health, while pollution and environmental degradation contribute to a range of health issues, from respiratory problems to cardiovascular diseases.

Urbanization and industrial activities often lead to environmental hazards, further stressing public health systems. Sustainable practices, such as reducing emissions, conserving natural resources, and promoting biodiversity, are crucial in mitigating these adverse effects. Additionally, access to green spaces and a healthy environment promotes physical and mental well-being, encouraging active lifestyles and reducing stress. Therefore, addressing environmental issues is not just about preserving nature, but also about ensuring a healthier future for all. This book consists of contributions made by international experts on health and environment. It explores all the important aspects of health and environment in the present day scenario. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of the subject.
