Over the last 15 years, the focus of chemical pollution has
shifted from conventional pollutants to so-called
’emerging’ or ‘new’ unregulated
contaminants. These include pharmaceuticals and personal care
products, hormones, UV filters, perfluorinated compounds,
poylybrominated flame retardants (BFRs), pesticides, plasticizers,
artificial sweeteners, illicit drugs, and endocrine disruptor
compounds (EDCs). Despite the increasing number of published
studies covering emerging contaminants, we know almost nothing
about the effects of their transformation products and/or
metabolites.
This two-volume set provides a unique collection of research on
transformation products, their occurrence, fate and risks in the
environment. It contains 32 chapters, organised into 7 parts, each
with 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 the
Environment is a valuable resource for researchers and industry
professionals in environmental chemistry, analytical chemistry,
ecotoxicology, environmental sciences, and hydrology, as well as
environmental consultants and regulatory bodies.
