Hazardous pollutants are a growing concern in treatment engineering. In the
past, biological treatment was mainly used for the removal of bulk organic matter
and the nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus. However, relatively recently the
issue of hazardous pollutants, which are present at very low concentrations in
wastewaters and waters but are very harmful to both ecosystems and humans, is
becoming increasingly important. Today, treatment of hazardous pollutants in the
water environment becomes a challenge as the water quality standards become
stricter. Hazardous Pollutants in Biological Treatment Systems focuses entirely on
the hazardous pollutants present in wastewater and water and gives an elaborate
insight into their fate and effects during biological treatment.


Currently, in commercial and industrial products and processes, thousands of
chemicals are used that reach water. Many of those chemicals are carcinogens,
mutagens, endocrine disruptors and toxicants. Therefore, water containing
hazardous pollutants should be treated before discharged to the environment or
consumed by humans.


This book first addresses the characteristics, occurrence and origin of hazardous
organic and inorganic pollutants. Then, it concentrates on the fate and effects
of these pollutants in biological wastewater and drinking water treatment units.
It also provides details about analysis of hazardous pollutants, experimental
methodologies, computational tools used to assist experiments, evaluation
of experimental data and examination of microbial ecology by molecular
microbiology and genetic tools.


Hazardous Pollutants in Biological Treatment Systems is an essential resource
to the researcher or the practitioner who is already involved with hazardous
pollutants and biological processes or intending to do so. The text will also be
useful for professionals working in the field of water and wastewater treatment.
