Advances in Treatment Methods Towards Emerging Contaminants

Advances in Treatment Methods Towards Emerging Contaminants: Sources, Occurrences and Health Effects serves as a comprehensive guide to all aspects of emerging contaminant detection, monitoring, analysis, and remediation. This book provides a theoretical overview and practical guidance for researching all the fundamental aspects of emerging contaminants including transformations and toxicology of emerging pollutant and contaminants. In addition to outlining recent advances to existing detection techniques to monitor emerging contaminants, this book provides case studies for new remediation, transformation and monitoring techniques, including those that utilize green technology and nanotechnology. Advances in Treatment Methods Towards Emerging Contaminants will be a valuable guide for researchers, academics and industry experts working with environmental monitoring end emerging contaminants - including chemists and chemical engineers working on new analysis and remediation or transformation strategies to tackle the removal of environmental contaminants. This book will also be a useful guide to policy makers looking at pollution and contaminant control measures or students at graduate level and above working in waste treatment and remediation.
