| book description |
Logistics operations are a significant yet often overlooked source of environmental pollution and associated public health risk. Harmful chemicals are released during storage, transportation, and handling of goods and materials, and as such, the logistics sector plays a critical role in shaping the ecological footprint of global trade. Through a variety of chapters covering both background information and in-depth cases, this contributed volume offers a comprehensive examination of the environmental and health hazards embedded in logistics systems. The book traces the pathways of pollution across the supply chain, exposing the risks to workers, nearby communities, and the broader environment. Structured around key logistics processes, the book describes real-world contamination incidents and offers takeaways for prevention. It also profiles emerging technologies, safer material alternatives, and regulatory strategies designed to mitigate harm. Special attention is given to the role of logistics in the global sustainability agenda, including alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Written for researchers, policymakers, environmental professionals, and industry practitioners, this volume offers both critical insights and practical pathways toward safer, more sustainable logistics systems.
