Topic Information
One of the most serious challenges faced by humanity is the contamination of air, water, and soil bodies due to the restricted vision of the past researchers in the use of materials and technologies for the welfare of society. With increasing awareness of human health, researchers are becoming increasingly wiser and using materials that do not contaminate the planet. While this awareness is increasing, it is of paramount importance for the research to continue aggressively in this direction and for the industry to adopt and implement the novel ideas. Ecofriendly materials are materials, which should not contaminate or toxify the local environment during and after their use. Irrespective of whether they are legally or illegally dumped, their entry into the food chain should not adversely affect the health of living organisms. Accordingly, this section will welcome any aspect of research that promotes the use of eco-friendly materials with the hope that such materials will get attention beyond academia and will be adopted by industry to make Earth a better place to live.
