Due to increasing industrial expansion and evolving technologies, novel contaminants are being found in the environment with little information on their analysis, fate and transport. This book covers pharmaceuticals and personal care products, perfluorinated compounds, engineered nanoparticles and microplastics, providing the information environmental scientists require to study their occurrence and interactions, including case studies for each contaminant.
This book is a valuable read for postgraduate students, academics, researchers, engineers and other professionals in the fields of Environmental Science, Soil Science, and Hydrology who need the most up-to-date information and analytical methods for analyzing newly emerging contaminants in soil and groundwater.
- Presents the four most important emerging contaminants of concern that have had little comprehensive coverage to date: pharmaceuticals and personal care products, perfluorinated compounds, engineered nanoparticles and microplastics
- Focuses on the fate and transport of each emerging contaminant, providing a thorough description of how each contaminant interacts with the environment
- Includes case studies of each emerging contaminant to complement advances in research to form a comprehensive reference for all emerging contaminants
Postgraduates, academics and researchers in Environmental Science, Soil Science, and Hydrology. Professionals, academics and engineers interested in environmental pollution
