Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals: Fate, Detection and Remediation provides both the practical and theoretical aspects of the origin and removal of EDCs. The book integrates in one system all relevant research in monitoring, detection and control, and provides a multi-barrier approach to managing EDCs that helps relevant stakeholders take preventive measures for the risks associated with EDCs in the environment (e.g., water, wastewater, soil and other natural ecosystems). The book not only provides a technological solution for managing these emerging pollutants but also comprehensively treats the origin, fate, and mechanisms of EDCs.This makes the book an indispensable source of information for researchers to develop sustainable, affordable and commercially viable monitoring and remedial systems.Crucial resource for the development of sustainable, affordable and commercially viable monitoring and remedial systemsDescribes existing removal methodologies, along with the discussion on the future scope of improvement in terms of their efficiency and deploymentElucidates both practical and theoretical aspects of EDCs origin, monitoring and removal

This volume provides a collection of research findings on the distribution and risk associated with emerging contaminants (ECs) in water and wastewater across the globe, and effective remediation techniques and technologies.

This volume provides a collection of research findings on the distribution and risk associated with emerging contaminants (ECs) in water and wastewater across the globe, and effective remediation techniques and technologies. The book covers various monitoring techniques for ECs in water and wastewater and its related impacts on the ambient environment, and offers valuable information on cost-effective monitoring techniques and sustainable treatment technologies for ECs. The authors detail the risks and biological effects of ECs and legacy persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in freshwater and marine systems, including their adverse interactions with aquatic organisms, while also discussing the associated impacts on human health. The book comprehensively covers current research outcomes on treatment methods, cost-effectiveness, and infrastructure needs for effective removal of ECs. It will be of interest to students, researchers, and scholars in environmental science and engineering, water and wastewater, toxicology, environmental biotechnology, soil sciences, and microbial ecology.

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are a class of chemicals that are persistent, bio accumulative and toxic (PBT), which are restricted for use under the Stockholm Convention.
