      Lung Cancer and Environmental Toxicants aims to explore the intricate relationship between lung cancer and environmental toxicants, shedding light on a hidden link that demands urgent attention. This groundbreaking book addresses a critical gap in the current literature by introducing a pioneering exploration of the interplay between lung cancer and environmental toxicants. Previous articles have not coalesced into a comprehensive examination of the complex connection between lung cancer development and the diverse array of environmental toxicants. This book delves into the latest scientific research and clinical findings to offer a clear way forward for healthcare workers to assess and treat lung cancer patients who may have been exposed to these substances. "Lung Cancer and Environmental Toxicants" provides a precise view of the impact of environmental toxicants on lung cancer, covering various aspects including epidemiology, molecular mechanisms, exposure pathways, and preventive measures. This unique and timely work will pave the way for a deeper understanding of the underexplored factors contributing to lung cancer incidence, offering novel insights into the role of various toxic substances in disease causation. This significant title will catalyze new avenues of research and awareness in the fields of oncology, environmental health, and public policy.

      Microbial Inoculants: Soil Dynamics and Nutrient Bioavailability is an essential volume in the Plant and Soil Microbiome series. This book delves into the foundational and contemporary details regarding the use of microbial inoculants, which are living organisms like fungi, bacteria, and microalgae, sourced from soil, plants, water, and organic materials. Acting as biostimulants or biocontrol agents, these inoculants offer an environmentally-frie... alternative to synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, playing a crucial role in soil conservation, plant health, and crop yield enhancement.Apart from exploring the nexus between plant and soil, the book also discusses the range of applications of microbial inoculants in agricultural and environmental practices. It provides insights into how these microorganisms contribute to sustainable farming by enhancing nutrient bioavailability and protecting crops from diseases, thus promoting better yield and overall plant vitality. This volume is a valuable resource for those interested in advancing agricultural techniques through the utilization of natural, biotic solutions.
