Water containing significant amounts of inorganic and organic
contaminants can have serious environmental consequences and serious
health implications when ingested. _Contamination of Water: Health
Risk Assessment and Treatment Strategies_ takes an interconnected look
at the various pollutants, the source of contamination, the effects of
contamination on aquatic ecosystems and human health, and what the
potential mitigation strategies are. This book is organized into three
sections. The first section examines the sources of potential
contamination. This includes considering the current scenario of heavy
metal and pesticide contamination in water as well as the regions
impacted due to industrialization, mining, or urbanization. The second
section goes on to discuss water contamination and health risks caused
by toxic elements, radiological contaminants, microplastics and
nanoparticles, and pharmaceutical and personal care products. This
book concludes with a section exploring efficient low-cost treatment
technologies and remediation strategies that remove toxic pollutants
from water. _Contamination of Water_ incorporates both theoretical and
practical information that will be useful for researchers, professors,
graduate students, and professionals working on water contamination,
environmental and health impacts, and the management and treatment of
water resources.
