Hazards and Treatment of Wastewater Contaminants presents the gist of extensive research that is being carried out on several contaminants, which pose a threat to the environment and living organisms.
In Hazards and Treatment of Wastewater Contaminants, readers will find:
Insights on the connection between water quality and water body deterioration
Chapter-by-chapter discussion on different categories of possible contaminants in wastewater and different treatment methods used
Information on specific contaminants such as dyes, pesticides, oil, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, etc. that can render wastewater unsuitable for reuse
Studies giving due emphasis to incorporating novel methods and integrating different techniques and materials for wastewater treatment
Hazards and Treatment of Wastewater Contaminants serves as an excellent reference for professionals, researchers, and students in the fields of environmental science, chemical and civil engineering.
