Air is obviosuly the first and foremost susceptible component of our environment prone to pollution. The occurrence of air pollution was not perceived as a major problem in msot countires until the late 1950s and 1960s. It was then usually seen as a local problem in urban areas and industrial areas. Only after 1960s have air pollution evolved as problem of regional and global dimension.

Textbook of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Vols 1 and 2

By: SK Jindal,PS Shankar,Suhail Raoof,Dheeraj Gupta

This book published in two volumes. Both volume divided in twenty three sections, all sections and chapters are most important. The Textbook of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine also offers a unique exposure to the problems in many parts of the world. Tuberculosis, the “number one” treatable condition has been extensively covered; and special topics such as multi-drug resistance, directly observed therapy, TB prevention, nonpharmacologic approaches and extapulmonary tuberculosis are particularly relevant. Many countries are facing a growing burden of noncommunicable respiratory diseases. They have become the second leading cause of death after injuries, and their impact on indirect costs such as loss of work and home productivity is enormous. These problems are addressed and measures of prevention such as smoking cessation are included. Other special challenges including topics such as indoor and outdoor air pollution, climate change, poisoning with pesticides, snakebite toxicity, pulmonary manifestations of tropical infections and industrial accidents such as the tragedy seen in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, with methyl isocyanate, have been well covered. However, as globalization flattens the playing field, and countries leap to industrialization, cultural beliefs, natural resources, climate and geography have slowed the pace of development in many parts of the world. Poverty leads to malnutrition, homelessness, lack of education, and poor access to health care. Overcrowded cities and rural underdevelopment are other challenges that impact health in the various parts of the world. Moreover, epidemics of HIV, drug abuse and smoking addiction take a greater toll on the population. Yes, the world is flat, but the terrain is filled with mountains and valleys and local problems demand local solutions. And these local problems need to be explored and presented with a scholarly perspective. The Textbook of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine has successfully incorporated these sociodemographic factors into the subject matter. The text is well-written and the chapters are carefully referenced with subjects found in all traditional pulmonary and critical care textbooks, e.g. airway diseases, interstitial lung disease, pleural disease, pulmonary neoplasia, pulmonary infection, sleep and critical care. There are several nontraditional sections as well that are practical and especially helpful to the practicing physician. These include a section on the symptom approach to lung disease, an overview of the pharmacologic agents used to treat lung disease, and a comprehensive review of methods in lung diagnosis from the simple history and physical examination to the latest complex tools of interventional pulmonology. The textbook is especially unique because of the abundance of illustrations, flow charts and tables. There are many radiographic and pathologic reproductions that are especially helpful.

Drinking Water Quality Assessment and Management

By: S.K. Gupta,I.C. Gupta

Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) of the UN General Assembly states that ‘Governments to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all’. It concentrates on all aspects of the water cycle: water; water resources management; water-use efficiency; water quality; waste water management; sanitation and health; and protecting freshwater ecosystems’. Contrarily, we daily witness the most perplexing paradox of merciless waste and pollution of water despite being aware that water is inadequate and is not going to last for long. Water inadequacy, be it physical, economical or quality related, is spreading fast to cover every continent. Although allocation of water to domestic sector in terms of total water use is quite less yet as per United Nations statistics water is impacting over 2 billion people who live in countries experiencing high water stress and about twice this number experience water scarcity at least for a month every year. The current book dwells upon the water quality issues and its impact on water supply scenario in general and domestic sector in particular. The book has been divided into seven chapters namely: Water Resources: Supply and Demand; Water Pollution; Water Quality Parameters and Standards; Laboratory Analysis of Water Samples; Raw Water Treatment; Treatment of Polluted Water; and Tips for Water Conservation. The topics covered in this book are quite relevant to civil engineers in general and public health engineers in particular, environmental specialists, agricultural engineers and all those concerned with water in any manner. It should prove to be a valuable reference for field practitioners, researchers, and policy makers. The topics/chapters included in the book have direct relevance to several Government sponsored programs such as National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) and Namami Gange Programme of the Ministry of Jal Shakti, Development and Promotion of Clean Technologies of MoEF, and Many schemes of CGWB and CPCB. It can prove to be a valuable academic asset for libraries of colleges and universities worldwide.
