Environmental Contaminants: Impact, Assessment, and Remediation

Editat de Pritam Ganguly, Jajati Mandal, Mariappan Paramsivam, Sandip Patra
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 feb 2024
This new volume looks at the impact, assessment, and remediation of various environmental contaminants. It discusses the environmental changes that can occur due to arsenic, heavy metals, herbicides, fluorides, microplastics, chemical fertilizers contaminants; the remedial measures of these environmental contaminants; and how to analyze trace-level concentrations of contaminants.

Recenzii

<b><i>“Heavy metals, pesticide residues, microplastics, pharmaceutical medicines, and other new and emerging environmental pollutants have been covered in depth in this book . . .  The interaction of these pollutants with various critical environmental processes has been addressed in detail. This book also includes information on the pollutants’ toxicity and human health risks. Intensive technologies, bringing the most sophisticated science to reduce the detrimental impacts of persistent pollutants, have been discussed. Perceiving pollution as transboundary and global, this interdisciplinary approach provides pertinent details about significant pollutants and their environmental consequences, allowing the readers to build a solid foundation of knowledge. . . . [T]his book will inspire and widen the perspective of the students, researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders.” </b></i>”
