This present book serves as a comprehensive compilation of various emerging contaminants in the ecosystem, their contamination risk as well as the applicable remediation techniques. Exploding urbanization and industrialization often combined with improved standards of living have resulted in deleterious effects on the quality of the environment. Due to rapid growth of industrialization in the past few decades, large amounts of undesirable wastes are being discharged into the environment threatening the survival of living beings on the earth. In the recent years, the problems regarding pollution have become more global, and awareness about the environmental problems is increasing continuously. Environmental awakening has led many scientists to focus on the assessment of environmental impact of various emerging contaminants. The first victims of the environmental pollution are the terrestrial plants and aquatic bodies in the vicinity of urban areas that experience heavy pollution due to industrial effluents, toxic chemicals, hospital waste, radioactive waste, industrial fumes, vehicular traffic, etc. The increasing industrialization and use of hazardous chemicals are responsible for the lack of access to clean water in many parts of the world. In view of the widespread occurrence, persistence, and harmful effects of environmental pollutants on human population, the present book is proposed.Emerging contaminants due to ubiquitous distribution, persistence, and toxic effects have necessitated the development of efficient methods for remediation of contamination. Reports appearing from time to time reveal that the number and concentration of contaminants in the environment are continuously increasing. Thus, development as well as dissemination of new and eco-friendly methods for the removal of these pollutants has become a challenging task.

This book is highly beneficial for a better understanding of the techniques involved in sewage treatment plants and the recovery of components from the contaminated matrix for valuable applications. The generation of a huge amount of sewage and sewage in cities and sub-cities is a big environmental crisis. Discharge of untreated or partially treated sewage imposes severe environmental pollution and health hazards. Various types of sewage treatment methods are used in different cities based on the current requirements. There are various norms, laws, and policies for the safe disposal of sludge and the discharge of sewage. In this proposed book, the generation of various sewage and sludge will be discussed in detail. Chemical analysis of sewage and sludge has been included in this proposed book. The impact of sewage and sludge on water resources, soil crops, and human health is also included in this proposed book. Various traditional and advanced treatment technologies of sewage treatment will be part of the proposed book. Reuse and recovery of nutrients and metals are also incorporated in this proposed book. One proposed chapter is dedicated to legislation in sewage discharge, and sludge disposal is also included in this proposed book. So, in this proposed book, we tried to incorporate a holistic view related to environmental issues of sewage and sludge and their management strategies. This not only leads to enhancement of valuable resources but also reduces the problem of environmental contamination. The conclusive reports presented in the present book will also help different researchers and government authorities to implement the best possible methods in the treatment of sewage and sludge in different industries.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are emerging contaminants of global concern due to their carcinogenic/mutagenic nature, ubiquitous occurrence, long range transport, bioaccumulative characteristics, involvement in food chain and food web as well as toxicity in almost all segments of the environment. This contributed volume offers chapters that provide a detailed description of PAH ubiquity, sources, distribution, fate, derivatives, transport, detection techniques as well as remediation methods. Various anthropogenic activities are responsible for the dangerous concentrations of PAHs in the environment. The detection and remediation of such contaminants is the major challenge that this book aims to address. The chapters here provide cases detailing different adsorptive as well as photochemical and biological mechanisms for PAH removal . Green technologies, multidisciplinary approaches and new advancements for PAH remediation are also emphasized for better applicability with the aim of environmental sustainability.

This book examines innovative strategies for managing and treating waste at the end of its life cycle, including landfilling and waste incineration. It addresses various types of solid waste, their causes and impacts, and the technologies designed to minimize and repurpose them. This approach, commonly known as materials management, aims to comprehensively analyze how materials are handled before resorting to conventional waste-disposal methods. The book highlights the importance of converting waste into energy, biofuels, and compost, while emphasizing source reduction and extended producer responsibility. The ultimate goal is to manage materials across the entire economy at every stage of their life cycle, covering all phases of material and product production, from raw material extraction, design, and manufacturing to transportation and consumer use. Additionally, it discusses reuse, recycling, and final disposal practices.

Textile industries consume a huge amount of water in their function and therefore discharge great amount of effluent into the environment, mostly untreated. The occurrence of sulphur, naphthol, vat dyes, nitrates, acetic acid, soaps, chromium compounds, and heavy metals and certain auxiliary chemicals make this effluent extremely noxious. A textile effluent also has generally high temperature and pH, both of which are enormously destructive. Inorganic contaminants are mainly basic and acidic compounds along with metallic salts. These inorganic species go through diverse biochemical communications in the water bodies and decline water excellence. Copper, zinc, chromium, lead, cobalt, nickel and manganese are the common heavy metals associated with different dyes. The release of these heavy metals in water bodies and soil may be the reason of harmful impressions or dangerous to human health and the ecosystem. Human exposure to dyes have driven in skin and lung irritation, headaches, congenital malformations and nausea, the presence of mutagenic agents also reported in dyes. Incomplete degradation of chemicals may lead to the formation of aromatic amines because of azo and nitro groups present in the organic dyes. Aromatic amines are responsible for inducing cancer and tumours in human. The high concentration of salts in textile effluents degrade the soil quality and make it unfit for agriculture purposes. So, remediation of textile effluents before release in the environment is very necessary. Various physical, chemical and biological methods of treatment of textile effluents are used in different industries. Some traditional treatment methods like adsorption, photocatalytic degradation, phytoremediation and microbial degradation are used widely used in textile industries. Nowadays some advance treatment technologies like nanotechnology and enzymatic degradation are also popular in textile industries.This book discusses the generation of various pollution associated with different textile processing steps in detail. It focusses on the use of water and the generation of wastewater from textile industries as well as the chemical analysis of textile effluents and the impact of textile effluents on water resources, soil and agricultural crop and human health. Various traditional and advance treatment technologies of textile effluents will be the looked at in detail as well as the reuse and recovery of dyes from textile industries.
