This book reviews the factors contributing to the degradation of natural resources in the MENA region caused by climate change and contamination. It examines how these issues affect humans, their health, resources, and the planet's future. The impact of climate change is evident in the diminishing quality of land, water, and air, which leads to several environmental problems such as drought, land degradation, vegetation decline, reduced water bodies, soil damage, and other ecological concerns. Divided into 21 chapters, the book comprehensively analyses the risks brought about by climate...

This book provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), examining their sources, classification, and mechanisms of action. It explores the global distribution of EDCs across air, water, soil, and living systems, their toxicological effects, and the growing concern of the cocktail effect , i.e., the combined impact of multiple contaminants on human health and ecosystems.

The chapters cover key topics including exposure pathways, environmental fate, and interactions with other pollutants, as well as advances in detection methods, remediation...
