| Summary: | The spread of emerging pollutants in aquatic habitats is being facilitated by industrialization and urbanization, which poses serious risks to ecosystem health and public health. These pollutants, which can affect aquatic life and make their way into the human food chain, pose a threat because they are persistent in water bodies and include industrial chemicals, medicines, and microplastics. This book carefully reviews the sources, causes and effects of these emerging contaminants and clarifies how they enter water systems, including urban wastewater, agricultural runoff, and industrial discharges. The volume also highlights the intricate relationships between pollutants and ecosystems, showing their hazardous and bioaccumulative characteristics through in-depth studies and case studies. In addition, the book addresses the pressing need for efficient management techniques and covers cutting-edge methods for monitoring, assessment, and correction. The volume provides insights into reducing the negative consequences of emerging pollutants through sophisticated analytical techniques and environmentally acceptable remedial procedures. Furthermore, the book stresses the significance of legislative interventions and interdisciplinary teamwork in tackling this environmental concern. The book is a valuable resource for scholars, decision-makers, and individuals who are committed to environmentally friendly water management. |
