In the\u003cbr\u003e past, biological treatment was mainly used for the removal of bulk organic matter\u003cbr\u003e and the nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus. However, relatively recently the\u003cbr\u003e issue of hazardous pollutants, which are present at very low concentrations in\u003cbr\u003e wastewaters and waters but are very harmful to both ecosystems and humans, is\u003cbr\u003e becoming increasingly important. Today, treatment of hazardous pollutants in the\u003cbr\u003e water environment becomes a challenge as the water quality standards become\u003cbr\u003e stricter. Hazardous Pollutants in Biological Treatment Systems focuses entirely on\u003cbr\u003e the hazardous pollutants present in wastewater and water and gives an elaborate\u003cbr\u003e insight into their fate and effects during biological treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Currently, in commercial and industrial products and processes, thousands of\u003cbr\u003e chemicals are used that reach water. Many of those chemicals are carcinogens, \u003cbr\u003e mutagens, endocrine disruptors and toxicants. Therefore, water containing\u003cbr\u003e hazardous pollutants should be treated before discharged to the environment or\u003cbr\u003e consumed by humans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book first addresses the characteristics, occurrence and origin of hazardous\u003cbr\u003e organic and inorganic pollutants. Then, it concentrates on the fate and effects\u003cbr\u003e of these pollutants in biological wastewater and drinking water treatment units.\u003cbr\u003e It also provides details about analysis of hazardous pollutants, experimental\u003cbr\u003e methodologies, computational tools used to assist experiments, evaluation\u003cbr\u003e of experimental data and examination of microbial ecology by molecular\u003cbr\u003e microbiology and genetic tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hazardous Pollutants in Biological Treatment Systems is an essential resource\u003cbr\u003e to the researcher or the practitioner who is already involved with hazardous\u003cbr\u003e pollutants and biological processes or intending to do so. The text will also be\u003cbr\u003e useful for professionals working in the field of water and wastewater treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IWA Publishing (Intl Water Assoc)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47889944477847,"sku":"9781780407708","price":14957.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781780407708.webp?v=1781178296","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/hazardous-pollutants-in-biological-treatment-systems-fundamentals-and-a-guide-to-experimental-research-9781780407708","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
