This edited volume comprises seven chapters, each presenting a recent advancement in the field of environmental research. Chapter One explores the ecologically beneficial technique of phycoremediation, which involves the utilization of algal species to remediate the inorganic and organic effluents produced and released from shrimp aquaculture ponds. Chapter Two delves into the role of liquid chromatography techniques in analyzing fullerenes, a family of compounds found in the environment. Chapter Three challenges the notion that low-dose exposure to ionizing radiation poses significant medical risks, contributing to the underutilization of nuclear power. Chapter Four discusses the current research activities focused on developing synthetic methods for g-C3N4-based nanocomposite materials and their potential application as effective photocatalysts for removing toxic organic pollutants like dyes and phenols. Chapter Five presents a carbon sequestration design model system that enables monitoring, calculation, and prediction of the carbon absorption capacity of proposed plant species over a specific period. Chapter Six employs computational fluid dynamics to provide recommendations for the most effective plantation strategies for urban vegetation to reduce pollution. Finally, Chapter Seven applies an importance-performance analysis to evaluate the condition of urban parks in Hong Kong.
