Radiation Status in the Marine World (Hardcover)

Natural radiation is omnipresent everywhere on the earth, and humans cannot avoid it. Natural radiation is a critical aspect in understanding the health issue and predicting the existence of radionuclides. Because the ocean is the source of all materials, and due to the fact that water from everywhere is submerged in the ocean through river networks, the ocean will contain varying radiation doses in every site. This book has information about radiation status near the ocean in all areas on Earth. There are five oceans, namely: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and Antarctic Oceans. This book is a valuable resource of its kind for indicating the radiation status in all types of oceans. The outcomes of this book are extremely valuable to people in a variety of fields, including health sciences, material sciences, radiological fields, environmental science, oceanology, water world, and so on. 

Dr. Manoj Kumar Jindal is an active researcher who has completed a Ph.D. in radiation (Applied Chemistry) and is currently focusing on environmental chemistry/science research (radiation and water fields, including water quality, quantity, sustainability, and water chemistry). He has over ten years of experience in research and teaching. Presently, he works as a researcher in the Centre for Sustainable Drinking Water, IITJ-Jal Jeevan Mission at the Indian Institute of Technology, Jodhpur (IITJ), Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. Previously, he worked at the Divecha Centre for Climate Change, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, India, for 2 years and at IIT Bhilai for 3.5 years. He has over 30 research publications in indexed journals, including several articles included in the WHO COVID-19 data library. He is also the author of two books and numerous book chapters. He is a reviewer for many journals, including those from Elsevier, Springer Nature, Taylor & Francis, and Oxford University Press. He has also reviewed book proposals for Elsevier. He is an Editorial Board Member of Discover Sustainability, published by Springer Nature (IF-2.4).
