Impacts of Soil Pollution on Human Health with Special Reference to Human Physiognomy and Physiology
Soil fulfills a wide range of ecological services such as a platform toward biomass generation, a filter/buffer for water, main store of carbon, important source of nutrients in our foodstuff as well as medicines like antibiotics and so on. However, curre

Foreword
I am pleased to write the foreword for this book edited by Dr. Pratibha Singh, Dr. Sunita Kumari Singh, and Dr. Sheo Mohan Prasad. They have focused this book on an extremely important area of active research—the effects of soil pollutants on plants. Anything entering the environment in any form will reach the soil ultimately and the water table in turn and thus entering the food chain. Plants play a major role in the functioning of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and are important in order to achieve the goal of food security to feed the ever-increasing population. Unfortunately, the fast pace of development is leading to the addition of contaminants in soil, air, and water in the form of inorganic contaminants, metals, radionuclides, pesticides, and even chemical fertilizers, which proved to be a boon to farmers during the Green Revolution. With time, the pollutants accumulate and show biomag
