Opis

Emerging contaminants are those for which the threats to human health and the environment are just becoming understood, those for which regulatory standards are pending or newly developed, or those which are currently being brought to light through new science around detection methods, exposure pathways, and treatment technologies. This book serves as a handbook for understanding the occurrence, behaviors, and treatment technologies of emerging contaminants. Additionally, applicable groundwater, wastewater, and drinking water treatment technologies for emerging contaminants will be provided, as well as guidance for managing the risks of the uncertainties surrounding these contaminants.
