Beskrivning

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) as Environmental Contaminants: Materials and Technologies for Advancements in Water and Soil Remediation offers a comprehensive examination of the challenges posed by PFAS contamination and the innovative solutions available for remediation. The book delves into the chemical properties, toxicity mechanisms, and environmental persistence of PFAS while also exploring advanced remediation technologies such as adsorption, chemical oxidation, and phytoremediation. By consolidating current knowledge and showcasing new approaches, this comprehensive resource equips readers with the tools necessary to address PFAS contamination and effectively advance research and practice in environmental health and safety.

In addition, users will find updates on emerging materials like Metal-Organic Frameworks and activated carbons that enhance remediation efforts, providing practical insights and case studies throughout.

Addresses both the environmental impact of PFAS and the latest advancements in remediation technologies and materials
Examines various remediation methods, such as adsorption, chemical oxidation, and phytoremediation
Provides detailed discussions on cutting-edge materials like Metal-Organic Frameworks, activated carbons, and biochars that enhance remediation effectiveness

Mer om författaren

Dr. Dimitrios Giannakoudakis graduated as chemist from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh) in Greece, where he obtained also two M.Sc. degrees (in Physical-chemistry & Electrochemistry and in New Educational Technologies). He received his PhD degree on “Nanotechnology and Materials Chemistry from the City University of New York (CUNY) with full scholarship, in 02/2017. Then, he continued as postdoctoral-fellow and adjunct tutor at the City College of New York, AUTh, and the Institute of Physical Chemistry (IChF) of Polish Academy of Sciences. Afterwards, he served at IChF as adj. Assistant Professor and tutor of “Modern nano-Topics in Physical Chemistry. Currently, he is Research Associate and tutor at AUTh. He has co-authored more than 105 publications in leading peer-reviewed journals (avg. Impact Factor as 1st author above 11), with the articles to be cited more than 3000 times, one monograph by Springer, three edited books by Elsevier, more than 20 book chapters, and 3 invention patents. For more details: www.DaGchem.com Dr. Ioannis Anastopoulos is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Agriculture, University of Ioannina, Arta, Greece. He graduated from the Department of Natura Resources Management and Agricultural Engineering from the Agricultural University of Athens, while he obtained the Ph.D. in Environmental Soil and Water Chemistry with two post-graduate degrees in Agricultural Engineering-Agricultural Science and Soil Science (Edafology)-Soil Resources Management. He has worked in postdoctoral research at the Agricultural Research Institute (Cyprus), the University of Patras (Greece), the University of Cyprus (Cyprus), and Hellenic Mediterranean University (Greece). His research is focused on the estimation of greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural soils after receiving organic and inorganic materials, the fabrication of different adsorbents for wastewater treatment, and the use of organic amendments for soil remediation.
