About this book

The year 2022 has been declared by the United Nations as the “International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development”. Sustainable development is focused on the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. These require the use of basic sciences. This edited book of proceedings (volume 2) is a collection of ten invited and peerreviewed contributions from environmental protection and water remediation.

Contains chapters on recent research on basic sciences for sustainable development.
Topics include finding solutions for various environmental contaminants, water remediation, sustainable agriculture, and more.
