Overview

Occurrence and Behavior of Emerging Contaminants in Organic Wastes and Their Control Strategies provides updated information on the occurrence, monitoring, and behavior of emerging contaminants discharged into the environment from different anthropogenic activities as well as organic wastes management practices, which can be beneficial in classifying and broadly addressing the assessment, treatment, disposal, and management of organic wastes. This book covers the occurrences of nanoparticles, microplastics, antibiotic resistance genes, disinfection by-products, medical waste, pharmaceutical and personal care products, and other emerging contaminants discharged in different types of organic wastes. Researchers, scientists, graduate, and postgraduate students will find this book to be a timely contribution that will be useful in identifying and comprehensively addressing occurrence and behavior of emerging contaminants in organic wastes.
