Emerging Organic Contaminants in Soil

Properties, Translocation, and Remediation

About this book

Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) are either newly identified or newly detected contaminants that are toxic or potentially hazardous to the ecosystem. The EOCs include, but are not limited to, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), antibiotics, perfluoroalkyl sulfonate (PFAS), flame retardants, endocrine disruptors, etc., presenting new challenges for scientists, policymakers, and the public. Soil is one of the most important sinks of EOCs arising from industrial emissions, incidental discharge, wastewater irrigation, or atmospheric deposition. The presence of EOCs in soil may threaten the soil ecosystem's health and subsequently transfer to humans via food and water consumption. This book provides comprehensive knowledge on the behavior and translocation of EOCs in soil and the related environmental medium and introduces remediation methods and technologies. From fundamentals to future risks, it explains the importance of understanding EOCs.

Features:

  • Provides a comprehensive overview of EOCs in environmental systems.
  • Covers comprehensively the physical, chemical, and biological processes of EOCs in soil.
  • Addresses innovative remediation and management approaches of EOC-contaminated sites.
  • Is the first well-organized book on EOC written by international experts with long engagement in EOC studies.

This book is an excellent foundational text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in soil science, environmental science, environmental chemistry, social ecology, and waste management. It is also essential for those who work with environmental hazards such as environmental engineers, ecologists, environmental professionals, and managers.
