- Book Synopsis
- This book is a collection of selected, peer-reviewed papers presented at the 2023 11th International Conference on Environment Pollution and Prevention (ICEPP 2023), which was held in Brisbane, Australia, November 10-12, 2023. With the worldwide increase in industrialization and movement of people towards larger cities, there has been a progressive increase in pollution of the environment. The issues surrounding air, water, soil and land pollution are now considered of global concern. Minimization of pollution involves the repeated reuse of products, reduction in waste generation and processing and recycling of resources into new products. Pollution prevention practices not only reduce waste, but also improve safety and decrease disposal costs. The book is useful for students, academics, entrepreneurs and professionals who are working in the important field of pollution of the environment and its minimization and prevention.
