Microconstituents in the Environment Occurrence, Fate, Removal and Management

Comprehensive introduction to managing novel pollutants commonly released into the environment through industrial and everyday processes

Microconstituents in the Environment: Occurrence, Fate, Removal and Management provides the readers with an understanding of the occurrence and fate of microconstituents, pollutants that have not previously been detected or regulated under current environmental laws or may cause known or suspected adverse ecological and/or human health effects even at insignificant levels, covering their presence in the environment and possible management strategies. The text is practice-oriented and evaluates a wide range of technologies for pollutant removal and how to implement them in the field.

In Microconstituents in the Environment, readers will find information on:

• Fundamental ideas regarding microconstituents, including their classification, major sources, and detection methods, and their removal via biological treatment techniques
• Fate and transport of microconstituents in various environmental domains, including mathematical modeling based on remote sensing techniques
• Physicochemical treatment techniques for microconstituents, including precipitation, absorption, filtration, membrane separation, and oxidation
• Sustainability and environmental management, including the regulatory framework and requirements for developing a new field application, plus an outlook on green design concepts

With its emphasis on management and remediation, Microconstituents in the Environment is a highly useful one-stop resource on the subject for environmental scientists, modelers, government agencies, and research scientists working in the field of environmental pollution.
