Environmental pollution and public health

Abstract

Pollution is one of the major problems persisting in our environment causing an increase in the morbidity and mortality, which ultimately affects the economic growth of a world. Therefore, environment quality sensing tools have become inevitable in everyday life. Environmental health concerns are a critical issue nowadays that needs joint efforts from multiple sectors to achieve better public health outcomes. The holistic approach, relevant to food safety and control of diseases (e.g. Covid-19) through usage of green technologies should be considered. The application of cleaner and effective technologies can be expanded to management and control pollution. The potential topics from the following research areas are expected: Global environmental health; environmentally friendly processes and their effects on human health; outdoor air quality, surface and ground water quality improvements; toxic substances and hazardous wastes reduction; environmental pollution, microbial degradation of pollutants, nanomaterials, nontoxicity and safety issues, food safety and agricultural products etc. Simultaneously, there is an increasing demand for natural bioproducts of therapeutic and industrial significance (in the areas of healthcare, environmental remediation, microbial biotechnology). Growing awareness and an increased attention on environmental issues such as climate change, energy use, and loss of non-renewable resources have carried out a superior quality for research that provides potential solutions to these problems. Emerging microbiome approaches potentially can significantly increase agriculture productivity and human healthcare and henceforth can contribute to meet several sustainable development goals. The aim of this study is to illustrate the novel research contributions on innovative approaches to manage, mitigate and valorize wastes produced by different sectors, with the aim of transforming our society towards a sustainable and circular bioeconomy. The present study discussed aspects including risk factors in atmospheric and water environment, public health improvement, changes of food trend, and living environment to elucidate the importance of environmental allergen
