Overview
Pollution is a global issue unequivocally causing multiple impacts. Globally, industrialization and modernization at an unrestrained pace are disturbing natural systems and equilibriums to impact us too economically, physically, mentally and socially! This book emerges as pertinent to present a succinct account of few solutions to start with along with case studies from research to enable a reader to gain an insight into how we are handling this issue. This becomes even more significant in the current COVID-19 pandemic given that several studies have unveiled how air pollution weakens the immune system to facilitate COVID-19 virus entry, augmented virulence, lethality and persistence
