Pollution and the Environment takes a comprehensive, integrated approach to the main forms of pollution caused by human activities and their impact on ecosystems and human health. The book begins with a presentation of the fundamental concepts of the environment, ecology and sustainable development. It defines pollution as any alteration of the natural environment resulting from the introduction of substances or energies likely to disturb the biological, chemical and physical equilibrium of ecosystems.The following chapters are devoted to the different types of pollution: air pollution (greenhouse gases, fine particles, acid rain), water pollution (industrial, agricultural and domestic discharges), soil pollution (heavy metals, hydrocarbons, pesticides), as well as emerging pollutants such as microplastics, nanoplastics and persistent organic contaminants.
