Toxic organic compounds known as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are resistant to breakdown by biological, chemical, and photolytic processes in the environment. Currently, a significant number of POPs are utilized as industrial chemicals, solvents, medications, and insecticides. POPs bioaccumulate and have an impact on the environment and human health globally due to their persistence. It can spread from one nation to another through wind and water, meaning it can have a significant impact on people and wildlife far beyond the areas where it is used and discharged. According to the UN Environment Programme (n.d.), exposure to POPs has the potential to lead to the following health issues: cancer, allergies, nervous system effects, and Immune system effects. This book, Persistent Organic Pollutants - Monitoring, Treatment Technologies, and Health Effects, will gather research and contributions from outstanding experts in the field of persistent organic pollutants. It will appeal to a wide readership from universities and industries. Additionally, readers will obtain updated information on all aspects of POPs.
Inland water primarily includes rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and wetlands. It also includes ponds, streams, groundwater, reservoirs, springs, cave waters, and floodplains. Most inland water bodies are lakes. Inland waters are unique ecosystems offering services and habitat resources. Food, fiber, medicine, climate management, flood and natural disaster mitigation, nutrient recycling, and drinking water purification are among the services they offer for human progress and poverty reduction. These ecosystems are also necessary for the generation of energy, transportation, leisure, tourism, and providing a home for flora and fauna. This book includes updates and recent research on all aspects of inland waters and the related field ( ecology, limnology, and environment protection). In this book, different chapters are presented with different sections that include water pollution and treatment, the hydromorphological quality of inland water, and the ecology and limnology of inland water. So, in this book, readers and scientists from different scientific fields will obtain updated information on all aspects of inland waters.
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are toxic organic compounds that resist environmental degradation through biological, chemical, and photolytic processes. Many POPs are currently used as pesticides, pharmaceuticals, solvents, and industrial chemicals. Because of their persistence, POPs bioaccumulate and adversely affect human health and the environment. Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) - Monitoring, Impact and Treatment deals with several aspects of POP monitoring, occurrence, impact, and treatment technologies. The book is divided into two sections containing nine chapters that address such topics as the effect of POPs on wildlife, their role in hepatocarcinogenesis, treatment of POPs in wastewater, and much more.
Wastewater Treatment: Recycling, Management, and Valorization of Industrial Solid Wastes bridges the gap between the theory and applications of wastewater treatments, principles of diffusion, and the mechanism of biological and industrial treatment processes. It presents the practical applications that illustrate the treatment of several types of data, providing an overview of the characterization and treatment of wastewaters, and then examining the different biomaterials and methods for the evaluation of the treatment of biological wastewaters. Further, it considers the various types of industrial wastewater treatment, separation, and characterization of industrial wastewater. The book serves as a valuable resource for practicing engineers and students who are interested in the field of wastewater treatment. Features: Presents the latest technologies in water treatment, including nanomaterials for industrial wastewater Covers different treatments for various industrial wastewaters, including chemical and pharmaceutical waste Includes forward-thinking analysis including conclusions and recommendations for water reuse programs
Organic pollutants cause several environmental problems if discharged to air or water body. The occurrence of organic pollutants in the ecosystem, their risk and removal methods are very important issues .This book deals with several aspects of organic pollutants, especially in the light of organic pollutants monitoring, risk assessment as well as the practical application of different techniques for removing it from the environment. The book is divided into three sections contains 9 chapters. The first section explains monitoring of organic pollutants in soil and water. The second section discusse its risk to human, soil and plants. The third section focuse on the different treatment process for the removal of organic pollutants.
It is often said that the “dosage” of any substance determines its remedy or poison effect. Heavy metal sources encompass sewage, pesticides, fertilizers, environmental contamination, occupational exposure/contact through inhalation, ingestion, and skin. Before the advent of technology/the industrial revolution, communicable diseases ravaged the human race but this seems to have given way to non-communicable diseases such as cancers, renal failure, hormonal distortion enzymes, inhibition of fetal growth, and DNA damage causing negative health issues due to heavy metals. This book brings to the fore probably the most recent experimental research/review on heavy metal contamination, remediating techniques, cellular tissue damage, and toxicological and antioxidant effects of heavy metals. It is hoped that its contents will make interesting reading for all.
