Agricultural Environmental Pollution, Risk Assessment, and Control (Hardcover)

Hardcover. This reprint addresses one of the most pressing challenges in modern agriculture: the growing burden of environmental pollution in soils and crop systems. Rapid industrialization and urban expansion have introduced pesticide residues, chemical fertilizers, persistent organic pollutants, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, heavy metals, microplastics, radionuclides and pathogens into agricultural landscapes. These contaminants not only degrade soil health but also accumulate in edible and non-edible plant parts, raising risks for food safety, ecosystem stability and human well-being.This collection brings together recent advances in monitoring and remediation strategies designed to tackle these complex threats. Contributions in this reprint include innovative approaches such as biological fertilizers, integrated organic farming systems and the bioremediation of contaminated soils, as well as studies that improve the understanding of pollutant fate and transfer within agricultural environments. By integrating scientific knowledge with practical solutions, this reprint provides valuable insights into developing sustainable agricultural practices that protect both ecosystems and human health.
