This book offers a comprehensive overview of the origins, occurrences, and remediation strategies for organic micropollutants in the environment. Divided into five parts, the book starts with a perspective on the sources and prevalence of organic micropollutants in our world, including aquatic ecosystems and urban soils, followed by an examination of the effects of these contaminants on health, agriculture, and the environment. In the third and fourth parts of the book, readers will learn more about the analysis and detection of organic micropollutants, and treatment and remediation strategies, respectively. The book closes with an overview of policies and regulatory measures, and critiques the fate of organic micropollutants in the aquatic environment. In this book, particular attention is given to topics such as:the intricate relationship between micropollutants, the environment, and human healthsustainable management, treatment methods and remediation for micropollutants in wastewater, urban water systems, freshwaters, urban soils, and agricultureecotoxicity analysis and innovative bioremediation approachesReaders will also find a valuable discussion of the current contamination status of aquatic ecosystems by pharmaceutical and personal care micropollutants, the latest methodologies for analysing organic micropollutants, and a case study on the biodegradation pathways of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH).Given its breadth, this book is a useful resource for scientists, researchers, policymakers, and anyone concerned about the ecological and human health impacts of organic micropollutants.
