Description
Micropollutants in wastewater have emerged as a critical environmental and public health concern. These substances, often measured in parts per billion or even trillion, include pharmaceuticals, personal care products, pesticides, and industrial chemicals. Despite their small quantities, micropollutants can significantly impact aquatic ecosystems and human health. Conventional wastewater treatment processes are often ineffective at removing these contaminants, leading to their accumulation in the environment. As societies continue to evolve, the need for effective micropollutant management strategies becomes increasingly urgent.
Micropollutant Management in Wastewater Treatment offers a comprehensive solution to the challenges posed by micropollutants in wastewater. This book provides readers with a thorough understanding of micropollutants and their impacts, laying a solid scientific foundation for effective management strategies. The book equips researchers, practitioners, and policymakers with the knowledge and tools needed to address this complex issue by exploring advanced treatment technologies, regulatory frameworks, and emerging strategies.
