Plastics and other mixtures of waste affect live in the water. Moreover, the ecosystem is disrupted by the use of heavy metal-containing chemicals in agriculture, and those are eventually consumed by humans. The consequences are a significant negative impact on health including reproductive health,...

This process occurs not only in insects, but also in humans and the wildlife [14]. The main symptoms of pesticides intoxication can be differentiated into syndromes like the muscarinic syndrome, in which the action of acetylcholine on the smooth muscle, heart, and exocrine glands increases ...
it is important to understand the impact of marine pollution on various facets of blue economy so as to reduce the stressors to a minimum. The chapter thus aims to discuss the
In recent years, the development and utilization of water resources have imposed great impacts on hydrological characteristics and ecological environment. In this paper, methods based on stable isotopes were used to analyze the cumulative effect of water projects and urbanization on the hydrological cycle...
As humans, we often forget that we share our planet with many other species, taking what we need and/or want from our surroundings and putting the neighboring non-human species at risk of starvation, loss of habitat, and even extinction. View Video Only Save Timeline Video Quiz Course...
Scientists warn us that the complete loss of too many species, or even a drastic reduction in their populations, may have an unforeseen disastrous effect on humans later. Earth has had numerous extinction events, both large and small, during the hundreds of millions of years since life first ...
In addition, the non-carcinogenic toxicity potential of wind turbines for humans over the entire life cycle is one of the lowest for energy plants. Wind farms can have a relatively large impact on the ecological system and biodiversity. The destruction of animal migration routes and habitats, ...
In this study, the impacts of PV solar power plants on the environment will be investigated. Some of the most significant environmental impacts of PV solar power plants are related to land use, greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), water consumption, hazardous materials, visual impact, and noise [3...
