"Emerging Contaminants" ed. by Aurel Nuro

This volume presents the reader with information on classification, recent studies, and adverse effects on the environment and human health of the main classes of contaminants.

Emerging contaminants are synthetic or natural compounds and microorganisms produced and used by humans that cause adverse ecological and human health effects when they reach the environment. This book covers the classification of contaminants and the instrumental techniques used to quantify them, recent studies on pesticides, antibiotics as an important group of emerging contaminants, and studies of different classes of emerging contaminants such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), microplastics, and others.
