Emerging Contaminants in Surface Water

Emerging Contaminants in Surface Water provides a comprehensive scientific overview of the occurrence, behaviour, impacts, and management of emerging contaminants in aquatic environments. The book critically examines contaminant sources, environmental fate and transport, ecotoxicological effects on aquatic organisms, and human health risks associated with exposure pathways. It further explores regulatory frameworks, governance mechanisms, and the growing influence of climate change on contaminant dynamics in surface waters. Emphasis is also placed on innovative treatment technologies, sustainable remediation strategies, and future research priorities. Designed for researchers, academicians, environmental professionals, and postgraduate students, this volume offers valuable interdisciplinary insights into one of the most significant environmental and public health challenges affecting global water resources in the modern era.
