Environmental Pollution and Remediation Techniques : Syrawood Publishing House : 9781647400019 : 1647400015 : 08 Sep 2020 : The contamination and degradation of the biological and physical components of the environment to an extent where normal environmental processes are adversely affected is termed as environmental pollution. Some of its prominent causes are carbon dioxide emissions, greenhouse gas emissions, reduction in biodiversity and acid rain. Pollutants are naturally occurring substances which are present in excessive amounts or concentrations. The removal of contaminants or pollution from the environmental media such as groundwater, surface water and soil is termed as environmental remediation. There are numerous technologies which are used for remediation such as thermal desorption, excavation, solidification and stabilization, in situ oxidization, and soil vapor extraction. This book unravels the recent studies related to environmental pollution. Most of the topics introduc
