Evaluating Water Quality to Prevent Future Disasters, Volume 13 covers various separation methods that can be used to avoid water catastrophes that could arise from climate change, arsenic, lead, algal bloom, fracking, microplastics, the impact of flooding, glyphosphates, triazines, GenX, and oil contamination to avoid future water disasters. The information in this book provides a valuable resource that will help the reader solve their potential water contamination problems or help them develop their own new approaches to monitor water contamination.
