Environmental Nexus Approach: Management of Water, Waste, and Soil provides the linkages between environmental resources, such as water, waste, and soil to deal with sustainable management of resources. It shows the nexus approach as a policy-relevant means of environmental management by focusing on integrated management of water, waste, and soil resources. It synthesizes interdisciplinary theory, concepts, definitions, models and findings involved in complex global sustainability problem-solving, making it an essential guide and reference. It includes real-world examples and applications making the book accessible to a broader interdisciplinary readership.Features: - Explores the cutting-edge developments in environmental nexus of approach of water, waste and soil.- Introduces the key mechanisms regarding the antibiotic resistance genes, microplastics, and other emerging contaminants in water-waste-soil nexus.- Investigates the fate and behavior of heavy metals, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, plastics and pesticides in soil systems and their risk assessment.- Provides the latest development in and current research perspectives, technology development, and critical thinking and societal requirements of environmental nexus between water, waste and soil.This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in environmental science and engineering, environmental engineering, and waste management.

This book comprehensively assesses the management of micro and nano-plastics in contaminated soil and biosolids, highlighting recent techniques and technologies that facilitate their environmental remediation. It provides up-to-date information on the fate, occurrence, monitoring, and transport of micro and nano-plastics in the environment, aiming to determine their detrimental impact on environmental health. The book also explores how risk factors associated with these particles can be identified and mitigated through sustainable means. Micro and nano-plastic contamination is analyzed in various contexts, including agricultural soil systems, urban areas, and wastewater. Special attention is given to the mechanisms of recent decontamination strategies, such as microbial and enzyme-assisted degradation and biochar. The intended audience for this book includes students, researchers, professionals in the urban municipal wastewater treatment sector, waste management and industrial practitioners, as well as policymakers.
