Preface
Post industrialization, complexity of the processes and the technology that makes
possible the production of variety of consumer products to support the growing
population, has been increasing. Additionally, the perils of global warming and
climate change have started to manifest in the form of severe environmental and
health impacts.
Theenvironmentalimpactsareclearintheformofshiftinseasonalcycle,flash
floods, droughts, scarcity of potable water, etc. As per World Health Organization
(WHO) between the years 2030 and 2050, climate change is estimated to cause
250,000additionaldeathsperyear.Thenumberofpatientsthatarereportinghealth
problemsemanatingfromconsumptionorcomingincontactwithcontaminatedair
and water is increasing every year.
It is estimated that world population will grow to 9.1 billion by 2050. In addi-
tion, economic progress, especially in developing world, would result in growing
demand for natural resources. More number of people will be employed in man-
ufacturing and allied sectors and exploitation of already stressed natural resources
will reach its limit. Therefore, the importance of synergy between man and nature
and man and his work environment cannot be overlooked. It is essential that sus-
tainable means and ways are developed to meet the demands of growing
population.
The importance of harmony between man and the environment is unquestion-
able. The importance of this harmony is even greater in the current scenario
because,unlikepast,thecapacityoftheenvironmenttoassimilatepollutioncaused
by anthropogenic activities has reached its limit. We are now witness to global
warmingandclimatechange.Thisscenarioisgoingtobecomeevenworstifcourse
correction is not done immediately. Major stake-holders around the world are
chalkingouttheplantocutcarbonemissionandcheckglobalwarmingandclimate
change.
The same harmony is essential between man and his work environment.
Prolonged exposure to hazards at work place and lack of ergonomics results in
plethora of work related problems that call for immediate attention.

vi Preface
A major objective of this publication is to update ourselves with the latest
developments in the field of health and environment safety, and inform on related
opportunities and challenges.
This volume presents select papers on advances in the field of health and
environment safety which were presented at the International conference on
advances in the field of health, safety, fire, environment, allied sciences and
Engineering(HSFEA2016)fromNovember18–19,2016,UniversityofPetroleum
and Energy Studies (UPES), Dehradun. The conference was attended by leading
academic scientists, leading engineers, policy makers, budding scholars and grad-
uate students. The contribution from the authors cover topics ranging from tech-
nology that assist inensuring healthysafe environment tomethods and means that
need to be adopted to ensure sustainable development—use of renewable and
alternate sources of energy, reduction and control of sources of pollutions, etc.
Topics on methods that can be used for monitoring and measurements of climate
change and global warming are also presented. Additionally, the importance of
ensuring safety and healthy work environment, free from occupational health
hazards, is stressed upon.
