Environmental Systems Science: Theory and Practical Applications delves into the intricate relationship between pollution and environmental quality, adopting a systems-oriented approach. It presents robust methods for estimating and predicting human and ecological risks, encompassing life cycle assessment, feasibility studies, pollution control decision tools, and strategies for identifying adverse outcome pathways, fate, and transport. The book also showcases groundbreaking methodologies such as informatics, data mining, and the application of secondary data systems, propelling environmental quality into the realm of translational science. By integrating a multitude of human and ecological variables, it facilitates calculations that support informed environmental and public health decision-making. Spanning diverse environmental and public health fields, the book bridges the perspectives of scientists, engineers, and professionals engaged in addressing pressing issues such as toxic substances, deforestation, climate change, and the loss of biological diversity. It offers sustainable solutions to these complex challenges and other seemingly intractable environmental problems. The causal agents examined in this text encompass a wide range of physical, chemical, and biological agents, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), SARS-CoV-2 (the COVID-19 virus), and emerging contaminants.
