Description
Over the last 15 years, the focus of chemical pollution hasshifted from conventional pollutants to so-called“emerging” or “new” unregulatedcontaminants. These include pharmaceuticals and personal careproducts, hormones, UV filters, perfluorinated compounds,poylybrominated flame retardants (BFRs), pesticides, plasticizers,artificial sweeteners, illicit drugs, and endocrine disruptorcompounds (EDCs). Despite the increasing number of publishedstudies covering emerging contaminants, we know almost nothingabout the effects of their transformation products and/ormetabolites. This two-volume set provides a unique collection of research ontransformation products, their occurrence, fate and risks in theenvironment. It contains 32 chapters, organised into 7 parts, eachwith a distinct focus: • General Considerations • Transformation Processes and Treatment Strategies • Analytical Strategies • Occurrence, Fate and Effects in the Environment • Global Speciality and Environmental Status • Risk Assessment, Management and Regulatory Framework • Outlook Transformation Products of Emerging Contaminants in theEnvironment is a valuable resource for researchers and industryprofessionals in environmental chemistry, analytical chemistry,ecotoxicology, environmental sciences, and hydrology, as well asenvironmental consultants and regulatory bodies.
