This updated and revised edition presents the latest techniques of the past decade, such as high-resolution mass spectrometry, biosensors and imaging techniques. Important tools for problem-solving in the determination of environmental pollutants are discussed in detail. This book also covers emerging pollutants in the environment, such as nanomaterials, microplastics, metabolites and/or transformation products and antimicrobial resistances.
This book is an excellent resource for postgraduate students, environmental chemists and analytical chemists, as well as those working in environmental laboratories, laboratories of official environmental controls, universities and the private sector.
