Natural radiation is omnipresent everywhere on the earth, and humans cannot avoid it. Because the ocean is the source of all materials, and due to the fact that water from everywhere is submerged in the ocean through river networks, the ocean will contain varying radiation doses in every site.

Natural radiation is omnipresent everywhere on the earth, and humans cannot avoid it. Natural radiation is a critical aspect in understanding the health issue and predicting the existence of radionuclides. Because the ocean is the source of all materials, and due to the fact that water from everywhere is submerged in the ocean through river networks, the ocean will contain varying radiation doses in every site. This book has information about radiation status near the ocean in all areas on Earth. There are five oceans, namely: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and Antarctic Oceans. This book is a valuable resource of its kind for indicating the radiation status in all types of oceans. The outcomes of this book are extremely valuable to people in a variety of fields, including health sciences, material sciences, radiological fields, environmental science, oceanology, water world, and so on.

This book provides comprehensive information on emerging contaminants in water, their sources, detection techniques, ecological and health impacts, and sustainable mitigation strategies. It emphasizes the urgent need for research and global collaboration to ensure the safety and sustainability of water resources. These emerging contaminants include per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), microplastics, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, pesticides, industrial and household products, metals, surfactants, industrial additives, radioactive elements and many more which pose potential risks to ecosystems and human health. While extensive research has explored their individual effects, there remains a critical gap in understanding their combined ecological impacts. Recent research underscores various contaminants' harmful effects, prompting efforts to develop new and more efficient removal techniques. While methods like adsorption and filtration show promise, biological methods offer a promising alternative with greater degradation efficiency. This book comprises all such information related to emerging contaminants in water systems and what could be the next step to mitigate their harmful impact in a sustainable manner. The book is structured into seven parts, covering the classification, sources, detection techniques, occurrence, ecological and health effects, and fate of key contaminants like microplastics and PFAS in aquatic ecosystems. It also explores mitigation strategies, including setting safe thresholds and implementing sustainable removal approaches. Through an in-depth review of current research and future directions, this book serves as a valuable resource for scientists, policymakers, and environmental professionals working toward mitigating the harmful impact of emerging contaminants on water systems.Chapter 5 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

This book provides a holistic understanding of the correlation between soluble uranium and water quality parameters, presenting the intricate dynamics that govern uranium solubility in diverse water systems. Uranium, one of the most prevalent and significant radioactive isotopes, has gained considerable attention due to its complex behavior in aquatic environments. Despite its importance, the solubility of uranium remains a critical enigma, intricately tied to the dynamic interplay between water chemistry and uranium interactions with water. The water quality‒uranium solubility nexus addresses this concern, providing a comprehensive exploration of the factors influencing uranium solubility in water, integrating both natural and anthropogenic influences. It consolidates essential information in one place, making it an invaluable resource for researchers, policymakers, education, and industries involved in environmental science and water management. Through a systematic and forward-looking approach, this book highlights key research directions and provides a critical foundation for future studies. This book serves as a crucial reference for understanding and mitigating the challenges associated with uranium contamination in water, benefiting scientists, environmental experts, and anyone concerned with water quality and safety.

This book aims to guide and illuminate future pathways for utilizing these linkages to ensure the quality of water for drinking and other purposes. It delves into a critical yet underexplored domain: the polymer-water nexus. This nexus is a two-sided story: on one hand, polymers offer immense potential for water treatment and protection; on the other, their misuse can cause significant environmental damage. This book will serve multiple purposes – for education, research, and industrial applications – by providing valuable information in a comprehensive and practical format. The ultimate goal is to establish a sustainable bridge between polymer science and water chemistry, with careful consideration of environmental and climatic factors.
