the book titled “Environmental and Health Management of Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)” has been published in collaboration with Health Equity Research Center

Environmental and Health Management of Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) examines mitigation measures that can be adopted at the time of a novel coronavirus outbreak to lessen environmental contamination and impacts on human health. The book discusses origin, structure and pathogenesis, epidemiology, environmental transmission and the potential spread routes of COVID-19 via surfaces, air, water, wastewater, medical waste and food products. It also covers guidelines and protocols for setting safety conditions to provide adequate health care and reduce the risk of infection in health and non-healthcare settings, along with preventative measures and disinfection technologies. In addition, the book discusses challenges, opportunities and future perspectives, the global crisis, and global consequences on the environment and health. With contributions from experts, this book presents a multidisciplinary reference resource for virologists, microbiologists, public health professionals, environmental health managers, and others engaged in the study and mitigation of the environmental and health impacts of the virus.

The Health Equity Research Center had the honor of participating in this book by writing the 16th chapter of this pice. We hope that publishing this document would be helpful for all nations struggling with this global pandemic and would accelerate the recovery of humanity.
