About this ebook

Emerging contaminants (ECs) have become a critical environmental concern as evidence of their toxicity continues to grow. Once overlooked, these pollutants pose serious risks to water, soil, ecosystems, and ultimately human health. This contributed volume provides a comprehensive examination of ECs, beginning with their classification, changing nature, and environmental pathways. It then addresses the ecological risks documented in terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric systems, highlighting the challenges of assessing their long-term effects. The final section surveys current and emerging remediation strategies, including microbial bioremediation, biosorbent-based adsorption, and advanced oxidation processes. The book offers valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and students engaged with environmental science and pollution control.
