Role of Bioremediation as a Low-Cost Adsorbent for Excessive Fluoride Removal in Groundwater
Fluoride pollution in groundwater in the past few decades has gained significance, mainly because of its dual impact on living beings, i.e., the small intake of fluoride is necessary for teeth whereas the excess amount of it if consumed, then a very painf

Preface
Environmental management is the management of the interaction and impact of human societies on the environment. It offers research and opinions on the use and conservation of natural resources, protection of habitats, and control of hazards. Modern environmental management of materials helps to minimize environmental impacts by reducing the release of toxic substances to the environment and by limiting human exposure. It also helps to reduce pressures on resources by diminishing the quantities of materials that need to be extracted. Beyond this, environmental management of materials supports sustainable decision-making by balancing the social, environmental, and economic considerations throughout the life cycle of a product or material, ensuring that negative impacts are not shifted from the production process to the consumption phase, or vice versa. Modern environmental managemen
