Request a sales quoteEmerging Aquatic Contaminants: One Health Framework for Risk Assessment and Remediation in the Post COVID-19 Anthropocene highlights various sources and pathways of emerging contamination, including their distribution, occurrence, and fate in the aquatic environment. The book provides detailed insight into emerging contaminants' mass flow and behavior in various spheres of the subsurface environment. Possible treatment strategies, including bioremediation and natural attenuation, are discussed. Ecotoxicity, relative environmental risk, human health risk, and current policies, guidelines, and regulations on emerging contaminants are analyzed. This book serves as a pillar for future studies, with the aim of bio-physical remediation and natural attenuation of biotic and abiotic pollution.
- Includes real-world applications and case studies to show how these practices can be adopted
- Presents global coverage, with a diverse list of contributors, all of whom are experts in the field
- Uses illustrative diagrams to provide a clear and foundational understating of the topics
Environmental scientists, especially those focused on water pollution, at postgraduate level and above., Aquatic ecotoxicologists, water managers and regulators
