This book deals with natural gamma radiation in the environment domain. It presents a collective and comprehensive discussion of key topics related to this field. Considering that a significant portion of the radiation dose received by humans originates from gamma radiation, the book compiles research-based information on sources, detection techniques, high- and low-radiation regions, recommended dose limits, and the effects of gamma radiation on agriculture and human health, along with it...

This book aims to guide and illuminate future pathways for utilizing these linkages to ensure the quality of water for drinking and other purposes. It delves into a critical yet underexplored domain: the polymer-water nexus. This nexus is a two-sided story: on one hand, polymers offer immense potential for water treatment and protection; on the other, their misuse can cause significant environmental damage. This book will serve multiple purposes – for education, research, and industrial ap...

This book explores water-saving technologies for hotels and restaurants, analysing consumption patterns and implementing solutions to reduce waste and promote sustainability. This book deals with critical aspects such as smart water metering, data-driven strategies, continuous optimization, sustainable technologies, cost reduction, positive public image, and national impact.

This book provides comprehensive information on emerging contaminants in water, their sources, detection techniques, ecological and health impacts, and sustainable mitigation strategies. It emphasizes the urgent need for research and global collaboration to ensure the safety and sustainability of water resources. These emerging contaminants include per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), microplastics, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, pesticides, industrial and household produc...

This book provides a holistic understanding of the correlation between soluble uranium and water quality parameters, presenting the intricate dynamics that govern uranium solubility in diverse water systems. Uranium, one of the most prevalent and significant radioactive isotopes, has gained considerable attention due to its complex behavior in aquatic environments. Despite its importance, the solubility of uranium remains a critical enigma, intricately tied to the dynamic interplay between...

Natural radiation is omnipresent everywhere on the earth, and humans cannot avoid it. Natural radiation is a critical aspect in understanding the health issue and predicting the existence of radionuclides. Because the ocean is the source of all materials, and due to the fact that water from everywhere is submerged in the ocean through river networks, the ocean will contain varying radiation doses in every site. This book has information about radiation status near the ocean in all areas on...
