The book reports the results on the fate of POPs in the abiotic and biotic components of the aquatic environment North Pacific Ocean (include Russian part of North Pacific), possible health risks for coastal residents Pacific Ocean exposed to these hazardous pollutants are systematized. In particular, indicator organisms (fish, birds, and mammals), indicating the pollution of the region, were identified; the possible ways of xenobiotic transfer from the sea to the land are shown; the targets of POPs impact on living organisms were determined; the time of circulation of pollutants in the biosphere was determined; a list of "priority" toxicants for the region based on quality screening was compiled; the risks to human health from the consumption of contaminated aquatic organisms were assessed; the levels of POPs in the human body were measured.

Free Download Management and Mitigation of Emerging Pollutants by Nancy George, Vagish Dwibedi, Santosh Kumar Rath, Prakram Singh Chauhan
English | PDF (True) | 2023 | 457 Pages | ISBN : 3031410041 | 12.2 MB
This book offers a comprehensive overview of the environmental challenges posed by emerging pollutants and the innovative strategies available for their management. Divided into 16 chapters, the book begins with an introduction to the origin and management of both inorganic and organic contaminants, offering a detailed examination of their sources and the potential risks they pose to ecosystems. It also explores current regulations and management practices aimed at mitigating their impact. In the following chapters, experts in the field cover topics such as conventional wastewater treatment methods for the removal of emerging pollutants, biotechnology-based strategies for the removal of emerging contaminants, microbial electro-deionization technologies, and algae-based bioremediation. Particular attention is given to specific remediation techniques, including phytomediated approaches, microbial fuel cells, and the novel application of microbial endophytes. Furthermore, the book explores the potential of nano-bioremediation and enzyme immobilization technologies, shedding light on their mechanism of interaction with nanomaterials and microbes for efficient treatment. Other chapters highlight the role of graphene-based nanocomposites, bio-based porous materials, and biosurfactants in the remediation of emerging pollutants, showcasing their unique capabilities and potential applications. In the final chapter of the book, readers will discover more about the impacts of emerging pollutants on environmental microbial communities and the consequential public health concerns that arise from their presence.

Free Download Ecological Risks of Emerging Pollutants in Urbanizing Regions by Yonglong Lu, Pei Wang, Jingjing Yuan
English | EPUB (True) | 2023 | 402 Pages | ISBN : 9811996296 | 164.6 MB
This book characterizes the major pollution patterns of emerging contaminants, such as sources, emission effluents, temporal and spatial distributions, multi-media transportation and transformation processes, exposure pathways to ecosystems and humans, and ecological risks. Based on this, it establishes an urbanizing region management concept and highlights how urbanization and its regional ecology have evolved into a more integrated vision. It also decouples the relations between urbanization and emissions of emerging pollutants that are framed within a broad socio-ecological context considering institutions, policies, and governance. All the theory, methods, and case studies have been taken from the authors’ publications, which have undergone rigorous international peer review. The book presents the spatial distribution, pathways, and flow diagrams of the pollutants as well as the interactions between urbanization and regional pollution and includes detailed figures and pictures. It also investigates ecological risk characterization and expression using maps based on geographic information systems to illustrate the general profile and the spatial variation of risks.

Free Download Maulin P. Shah, "Microbial Degradation and Detoxification of Pollutants "
English | ISBN: 3110743272 | 2023 | 304 pages | EPUB, PDF | 5 MB + 33 MB
This book explores how bioremediation biotechnology is used to remove pollutants in wastewater. Remediation of wastewater is important to ensure that pollutants generated in industry do not effect our environment negatively. Traditional wastewater remediation is not a sustainable process, however by using biological means the sustainability can be improved. Both conventional methods and bioremediation technologies are discussed. Applications for heavy metal, nitrate, and petroleum bioremediation, nanotechnology in bioremediation, and more are explored.
