About the Series
Identifiers and Publication Status
The Book Series of Pollution & Diseases is a non-serial scholarly publication format designed for monographs and edited volumes. It is structurally distinct from the journal and does not share the journal’s ISSN. Each volume is assigned an individual ISBN. Where applicable, DOI registration is managed centrally by the publisher.
Aims & Scope
Pollution and Diseases Book Series is an international peer-reviewed scholarly book series committed to advancing rigorous and conceptually grounded research at the intersection of environmental pollution, environmental security, and human health.
The series publishes thematic edited volumes and scholarly monographs that address complex environmental transformations, including pollution-related disease mechanisms, freshwater system degradation, climate-health interactions, environmental governance, and long-term ecological risk.
Unlike short-format publications, the Book Series is designed to provide intellectual space for extended analytical work, interdisciplinary integration, and sustained methodological reflection.
Central European Positioning
The Book Series is based in Central Europe — a region historically shaped by industrial development, political transition, and contemporary geopolitical instability.
This geographical positioning enables the series to function as an intellectual bridge between Western European research traditions, Eastern European scientific communities, and broader international scholarship. It promotes dialogue across regional, disciplinary, and institutional boundaries.
War and Environmental Security
A distinctive thematic focus of the series lies in the emerging field of environmental security and war-related ecological damage.
The series gives particular attention to:
- environmental consequences of armed conflict
- contamination of soil, freshwater systems, and air
- long-term toxic exposure in post-conflict regions
- ecological reconstruction and remediation
- environmental governance under geopolitical instability
By integrating environmental sciences, public health research, and policy analysis, the series aims to contribute to evidence-based environmental security strategies.
Distinction from the Journal
Pollution and Diseases Book Series complements but does not duplicate the journal Pollution & Diseases.
While the journal focuses on shorter peer-reviewed research articles, the Book Series is dedicated to extended scholarly works, thematic edited volumes, and comprehensive monographs requiring broader analytical scope.
The Book Series operates as a long-term intellectual platform designed to support sustained academic debate beyond short publication cycles and metric-driven evaluation frameworks.
