This book is entitled ‘Principles and Constructs of
Environmental Pollution Studies’. Though it talks more about water and the
atmosphere, some concepts of waste management were properly elucidated. The
challenges associated with the global anthropogenic inputs cannot be
over-emphasised. This book is centred on environmental pollution, particularly
water, atmospheric composition, waste and waste management, food additives and
preservatives. The need to give more detailed information and concepts of
environmental studies necessitated the birth of this compendium. This book
gives easier and well-understood meanings and definitions of salient concepts
such as climate change, global warming, the greenhouse effect, acclimation,
pollutants, contaminants, additives, and preservation. Some of these additives
have been found to be lethal and toxic to humans. There is a need for
undergraduates, graduates, environmentalists and lovers of the environment to
read about the conservation of the ecosystem as shown in this book. This is
because the environment remains our only inheritance and legacy for the present
and future generations so as to attain sustainable development.
