Environmental Micropollutants, the latest volume in the Advances in Environmental Pollution Research series, presents the latest research on various environmental micropollutants, as well as their impacts on health and the economy, also addressing the best possible solutions to address the risks presented by these pollutants. The book covers solutions for dusts, infectious particles, heavy metals, organophosphates, atmospheric toxic organic micropollutants, fungal spores, pollutants from E-waste, and antibiotics threats, providing researchers working in environmental science and management with key knowledge to address this increasingly important concern. These types of micropollutants can be present in water, air and soil and can harm health even in low quantities, hence this book covers the challenges these pollutants pose to the environment and human health, presenting practical solutions. Identifies key micropollutants in the environment and examines their impacts on human health and the economy Presents methods and treatment technologies for addressing the problem of micropollutants Offers the latest research on a variety of micropollutants and the best solutions for each INDICE: Introduction to environmental micropollutants Industrial chemicals as micropollutants in the environment Impact of antibiotic-resistant bacteria on the environment Food additives as environmental micropollutants Biocides Disinfectants Detergents Personal care products-fragrances, cosmetics, and sunscreens-in the environment Hormones-active substances Endocrine-disrupting compounds Household chemicals and their impact Occurrence and fate of micropollutants in surface waters Occurrence and fate of micropollutants in water bodies Occurrence and fate of micropollutants in soils Occurrence and fate of micropollutants in air Microcontaminants in wastewater Ecotoxicological risk assessment of environmental micropollutants Usage and disposal strategies of environmental micropollutants Phytoremediation of micropollutants Bioremediation of micropollutants Nanotechnology to treat the environmental micropollutants Removal of micropollutants
