Antimicrobial Resistance in Wastewater and Human Health 1st Edition

Capture immediate attention with a pressing global challenge: rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is reshaping public health, and wastewater is a critical—but often overlooked—pathway. Antimicrobial Resistance in Wastewater and Human Health, 1st Edition by Dharm Pal and Awanish Kumar delivers a timely, evidence-based exploration of how sewage, effluents, and environmental waters contribute to AMR transmission.

Delve into a clear, accessible synthesis of current science: mechanisms of resistance development, advanced surveillance methods, molecular and culture-based detection, and the role of wastewater treatment processes in mitigating risk. The book bridges laboratory research and field applications, offering practical insights on risk assessment, monitoring frameworks, and technology-driven solutions—from conventional treatment upgrades to novel biotechnologies.

For researchers, public health practitioners, wastewater engineers, policymakers, and graduate students, this volume is an actionable resource. It presents regional and global perspectives, addressing challenges faced in urban and rural water systems across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas, with policy-relevant recommendations that support One Health approaches and sustainable sanitation strategies.

Imagine improving surveillance programs, informing regulatory decisions, or designing treatment systems that reduce AMR dissemination—this book equips you to do just that. Clear figures, case examples, and forward-looking policy discussions make complex science usable.

Ready to confront AMR at the environmental interface? Add Antimicrobial Resistance in Wastewater and Human Health to your library and gain the multidisciplinary guidance needed to protect communities, water resources, and public health worldwide.
