These are also responsible for climate change with contributions from deforestation and CO2 emissions from fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum. The present volume discusses some of the main issues regarding environmental degradation and the causes as well as the impact of climate change which is impacting the ecosystem. The effects of various pollutants causes of climate change with case studies on geochemistry and glaciers etc. and measures to reduce the impact on biodiversity health etc. are discussed in detail in its chapters.
