With the increasing population, industrial growth and consumer needs, water is getting adulterated with several new contaminants of concern. Nanomaterials, pharmaceuticals & personal care products, endocrine disrupting compounds, artificial sweeteners, surfactants, etc. are some of the evolving sources for emerging water pollutants. Several of these emerging water pollutants introduce noxious effects on humans and ecosystem.
These emerging pollutants need to be removed from wastewater for water purification, its use and recycling. Some of the most investigated technologies for removal of emerging pollutants from wastewater include catalytic processes including oxidation, membrane process, adsorption, osmotic processes, integrated processes, etc.
The book “Emerging Water Pollutants” consists of thirteen chapters. First five chapters discuss and analyze the sources of emerging water pollutants, their toxicities, and legislations available to monitor and regulate their emissions. Next three chapters are on the risk assessment of emerging pollutants, their fate and life cycle assessment, respectively. Last five chapters discuss the remediation technologies for wastewater treatment containing emerging pollutants. This book is equally good for academia, industry professionals and students for state-of-the-art learnings on emerging water pollutants and their remediation methods.
