Environmental Science/Climate Change & Mitigation
Reviews “The most important aspects regarding textile pollution caused by dyes, its remediation, natural dyes as sustainable alternative to synthetic ones, challenges, and the market for the field are covered. . . . Comprehensive and up to date. The editors deserve to be complimented for their sincere effort in bringing this volume together.” —From the Foreword by Dr. Aminoddin Haji, Department of Textile Engineering, Yazd University, Yazd, Iran Synthetic dyes, especially those used in the textile industry, are huge contributors to the damaging effects on ecosystems worldwide due to their toxic and non-biodegradable nature. Natural dyes, on the other hand, are interesting eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic ones. This new volume, Advances in Natural Dyes for Environmental Protection: Degradation and Remediation, discusses the environmental pollution caused by dyes, presents advances in natural dyes, considers their advantages over synthetic dyes, and offers solutions to the difficulties related to the use of natural dyes. The volume also offers effective remediation strategies for the management of both natural and harmful synthetic dyes in the environment.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press.
