Contaminants in Drinking and Wastewater Sources : Challenges and Reigning Technologies (1st ed. 2021)

This volume takes a multidisciplinary approach to study and evaluate the global human vulnerability to the exposure of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in the natural environment.

It provides a comprehensive resource on structurally diverse groups of chemical compounds that have adverse effects on the aquatic environment.

It explores the global strength, environmental status, chemical risk assessment and management strategies of CECs with relevant modern techniques.

The principle focus is on concurrent emerging water quality issues.

It defines the impacts of the environmental exposure of trace concentrations of CECs and/or their metabolites and discusses possible technological advances to combat the emerging pollutants.

It will be useful to researchers, multi-stakeholder expert groups, policymakers, and graduate students.
