TL;DR: This book is intended for the wide spectrum of professionals concerned with sanitation and public health and contains twenty eight chapters, each describing the environmental properties of a specific excreted pathogen or group of excreting pathogens and the epidemiology and control of the infections these pathogens cause.

TL;DR: Past and current mining activities continue to provide sources of environmental contamination by arsenic, and evidence suggests that increased use of geothermal power may elevate risks of arsenic exposure in affected areas.

TL;DR: The global picture of antimicrobial resistance, factors that favor its spread, strategies, and limitations for its control and the need for continuous training of all stake-holders i.e., medical, veterinary, public health, and other relevant professionals as well as human consumers are examined.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that European WWTP contribute to the enrichment of the resistome in the receiving water bodies with the particular impact being dependent on the effluent load and local hydrological conditions.

TL;DR: The main strategies available are mitigation (the provision of alternative arsenic-free water) and remediation (arsenic removal from extracted water). as discussed by the authors considers the technical aspects and the appropriateness of these options and considers that for many areas remediation, at an affordable cost, is the only practical option.
