Produktbeschreibung

Emerging Contaminants: Sustainable Agriculture and the Environment provides a thorough, comprehensive, and interdisciplinary overview of the many categories of emerging pollutants, including pharmaceuticals, insecticides, personal care items, and industrial chemicals that are currently impacting the environment. With insights into the exposure associated consequences on crops and edible plants, the book is designed to enable foundational understanding as the basis for future research, as well as practical application in current environments.

Following an introduction to environmental contaminants, the book goes on to discuss their fate in soils, the most up-to-date analytical methods for detecting them in different environmental matrices, and current regulatory restrictions. Finally, the book comes to a close with the last chapter dedicated to conclusions and future perspectives.

Emerging Contaminants is an ideal resource for researchers and professionals from a variety of sciences.

• Focuses on the extensive emission of ECs raising concerns of toxicity in crop plants, in the environment, and also to human beings via the food chain
• Includes examples and real-world insights
• Highlights interaction of different categories of ECs with crop plants their toxicity and fate in the environment
