Description
Book Synopsis: The term "emerging contaminants" and its multiple variants has come to refer to unregulated compounds discovered in the environment that are also found to represent a potential threat to human and ecological receptors. Such contaminants create unique and considerable challenges as the push to address them typically outpaces the understanding of their toxicity, their need for regulation, their occurrence, and techniques for treating the environmental media they affect.
With these challenges in mind, this handbook serves as a primer regarding the topic of emerging contaminants, with current and practical information to help support the goal of protection where they are encountered.
Features
- Explores the definition, identification, and life cycle of emerging contaminants.
- Reviews current information on sources, toxicology, regulation, and new tools for characterization and treatment of:
- 1,4-Dioxane (mature in its emerging contaminant life cycle)
- Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs; a newer group of emerging contaminant)
- Hexavalent chromium (former emerging contaminant with evolving science)
- 1,2,3-Trichloropropane (progressing in its emerging contaminant life cycle)
- Provides thoughts on opportunities in managing emerging contaminants to help balance uncertainty, compress life cycle, and optimize outcomes.
Details
Are you concerned about the potential threats posed by emerging contaminants in our environment? Introducing the Emerging Contaminants Handbook, your ultimate guide to understanding and addressing these unregulated compounds. With up-to-date information and practical insights, this handbook will equip you with the knowledge you need to protect human and ecological receptors from these dangerous contaminants.
With its comprehensive coverage, this handbook explores the definition, identification, and life cycle of emerging contaminants. From well-known compounds like 1,4-Dioxane to the newer group of Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), you'll gain valuable insights into the sources, toxicology, regulation, and characterization techniques of these contaminants.
What sets this handbook apart is its focus on the evolving nature of emerging contaminants. With chapters dedicated to Hexavalent chromium and 1,2,3-Trichloropropane, you'll stay updated on the latest scientific advancements and regulatory developments. Stay ahead of the curve and be prepared to tackle these contaminants head-on.
Looking beyond the challenges, the Emerging Contaminants Handbook also presents opportunities in managing emerging contaminants. By balancing uncertainty, compressing their life cycle, and optimizing outcomes, you can make a real difference in the protection of our environment and health.
Don't wait for these contaminants to become a bigger threat. Arm yourself with the knowledge and tools provided in the Emerging Contaminants Handbook. Start making a positive impact today.
