Content:
"This new volume looks at the impact, assessment, and remediation of various environmental contaminants. It discusses the environmental changes that can occur due to arsenic, heavy metals, herbicides, fluorides, microplastics, chemical fertilizers contaminants; the remedial measures of these environmental contaminants; and how to analyze trace-level concentrations of contaminants. The volume relays the basics of environment, pollution, and bioremediation techniques and proceeds to discuss arsenic in water-soil-plant-human continuum; heavy metal (Pb, Cd and Cr) contamination in soil worldwide; micro-plastics as emerging contaminants; herbicide contamination in groundwater along with remediation strategies; fluoride contamination in the ecosystem and remediation strategies; the impact of pharmaceutical contaminants in the environment; and environmental pollution caused by the incorrect application of synthetic fertilizers and remediation. Key features: Discusses methods of trace analysis for persistent pollutants; Explores phytoremediation and green approaches for the removal of contaminants; Looks at the role of nanotechnology on remediation of environmental contaminants; Considers agronomic intervention for mitigation of environmental pollutants; Presents advancements in pesticide formulation technology for reducing load of contaminants. With important information summarized in charts, diagrams, and tables, this new book will be useful to researchers, scientists, and students and faculty to expand their knowledge."--
