Emerging Contaminants in Terrestrial and Aquatic Environments: Occurrence, Health Risks, and Mitigation provides the latest information on the synthesis of the occurrence, behavior, human health risks and mitigation of emerging contaminants in developing countries. First highlighting sources, industrial applications, key drivers and regulatory frameworks, the book then goes on to discuss the nature of emerging contaminants, including organic (e.g., pharmaceuticals), inorganic (e.g., rare earth elements) and biological agents (e.g., antimicrobial resistance). It then presents the dissemination, environmental behavior, and fate in terrestrial and aquatic systems as well as the human and ecological exposure pathways, health risks, and more.

Offering a transdisciplinary approach that brings together perspectives and contributions from experts in environmental sciences, hydrology, environmental engineering, ecotoxicology, chemistry, material sciences, and legal and policy aspects, the book provides an approachable and flexible resource for researchers and upper-level students with diverse academic backgrounds.

Gwenzi, Willis: - Dr. Willis Gwenzi is a Professor of biosystems and environmental engineering at the University of Zimbabwe. He researches on environmental remediation, environmental hydrology, water/wastewater treatment, emerging contaminants, antibiotic resistance, medical geology, environmental epidemiology, and novel (bio)materials. He has published more than 70 peer-reviewed articles. His seminal papers on biochar-based water treatment systems and high-technology rare earth elements as emerging contaminants have been rated as Highly Cited and Hot papers in 2019 by the Web of Science. He has supervised several postgraduate students in bioenvironmental system engineering. He is a regular manuscript reviewer for top international journals. He has also acted as an external reviewer for grant proposals for the UK's NERC, Canada's MITACS, Chile's FONDECYT, and the Austrian Science Foundation. He holds the following qualifications: PhD (biosystems and environmental engineering, University of Western Australia), MSc (water resources engineering and management), BSc honors (soil science), and postgraduate certificate (applied groundwater modeling).
