thousands of various types of pollutants and chemicals from different
sources are exposed to the environment. These sources include
industries, vehicles, and even human activities like cooking. Pollutants
affect different environmental resources such as air, water, soil, and
generate serious danger to the ecosystem. These encountered problems
require immediate scientific attention to find appropriate and cost
effective solutions.
