It highlights the influence on climate change, offering a holistic perspective for researchers in environmental science, policymakers, and land managers.The book introduces pesticides and their applications, then goes on to cover their impact on various ecosystems in the natural environment. Health risks are covered, followed by various remediation techniques, such as biological processes, phytoremediation, and chemical treatments.



- Describes the impact of pesticides on the environment, human health and the food chain as well as regulations and policies to address the impact

- Presents remediation strategies and techniques for pesticides in a variety of ecosystems, along with potential alternatives
