Published by \u003cb\u003eCBS Publishers \u0026amp; Distributors\u003c\/b\u003e, this comprehensive work acts as a critical intersection between environmental toxicology, plant physiology, and human epidemiology. The core philosophy of this book is to explore how environmental contaminants act as shared threats. Instead of viewing flora and human communities as separate ecological entities, the authors demonstrate that plants act as the primary, highly vulnerable frontline receptors for industrial pollution, heavy metals, and agrochemicals, passing these toxic burdens directly up the food chain to human consumers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe textbook is structurally organized into a series of comprehensive analytical sections that transition logically from macro-environmental pollution to micro-level cellular diagnostics. It begins with an exhaustive breakdown of ambient atmospheric hazards, examining the structural and foliar responses of plants to coal-smoke, sulfur dioxide, ozone depletion, and thermal power plant emissions. The middle chapters shift focus toward soil and aquatic contamination, providing critical quantitative data on heavy metal toxicity—such as cadmium, lead, and arsenic—and the widespread physiological disorders triggered by salt stress. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to the biochemical consequences of irrational pesticide and nitrogen fertilizer applications, illustrating how excessive nitrates accumulate within leafy vegetables and exceed acceptable daily intake limits for humans. By exploring both the destructive impacts of pollutants and the adaptive potential of specific flora, the text culminates in a progressive overview of phytoremediation—detailing how certain plant species can be strategically deployed to extract, stabilize, or detoxify polluted ecosystems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe authorial collaboration of Muhammad Iqbal, Prem Shankar Srivastava, and Tariq Omar Siddiqi represents an elite assembly of senior botanists and environmental toxicologists associated with pioneering institutions like Jamia Hamdard in New Delhi. Dr. Muhammad Iqbal is a former dean and globally recognized authority on plant anatomy, cambial growth variants, and plant responses to abiotic stress. Alongside Dr. Srivastava and Dr. Siddiqi, this team has spent decades conducting field experiments, publishing foundational research on bio-monitoring, and studying how environmental toxicants disrupt agricultural sustainability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe team’s collective authorial and instructional style is characterized by extreme scientific precision, absolute data integrity, and a grounded, peer-to-peer analytical approach. Writing as veteran laboratory researchers who have personally mapped the physiological deterioration of crops near active industrial zones, they avoid sweeping generalizations in favor of explicit biochemical parameters, stomatal index reductions, and cellular enzyme analysis. By translating dense molecular signaling pathways and toxicological indexes into clear, accessible prose, their literature continues to serve as an indispensable reference standard for university libraries, postgraduate environmental scientists, agricultural ecologists, and public health policy makers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CBS Publishers \u0026 Distributors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51821649035562,"sku":"VASY-8123906447","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/1218\/4618\/files\/71a-s9glplL._SL1109.jpg?v=1781926922","url":"https:\/\/crazyshelf.com\/products\/environmental-hazards-plants-people","provider":"Crazyshelf.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
