Organic Contaminants is a single reference covering common organic contaminants in detail, including their distribution in the environment, challenges linked to management, geogenic sources, anthropogenic sources, exposure and effects, international agreements and legislation relating to the contaminant, remediation options, and global case studies. This clear, consistent organization makes it a valuable resource for researchers, students, and practitioners working in environmental science, environmental management, and environmental engineering alike. One of the major constraints to assessing and remediating contaminated sites is the lack of awareness of the extent and severity of contaminated sites amongst the community, regulators, policymakers, industry operators, university graduates and environmental managers.

1. Introduction to Conventional Organic: global issues and challenges Section A: The initial POPs under the Stockholm Convention 2. Pesticides, including aldrin, chlordane, DDT, dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor, hexachlorobenzene, mirex, toxaphene 3. Industrial chemicals, including hexachlorobenzene (HCB), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) 4. By-products, including hexachlorobenzene; polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/PCDF), and PCBs. Section B: The New POPs 5. Pesticides and their byproducts: Chlordecone, Lindane, Alpha hexachlorocyclohexane, ß-Hexachlorocyclohexane (ß-HCH), Pentachlorophenol, Chlordecone, Hexabromocyclododecane 6. Chlorinated Solvents including byproducts – Hexachlorobutadiene 7. Pentachlorobenzene 8. Brominated Flame Retardants 9. Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), its salts and perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride (PFOSF) 10. Polychlorinated naphthalene 11. Glyphosate 12. Endosulfan and its related isomers 13. Short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) Section C: Conventional organic contaminants 14. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) 15. Total Petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) 16. Concluding Remarks
Les mer
Presents an overview of the extent and severity of organic contaminants in the environment, along with new solutions
Provides a one-stop reference on the nature and properties of organic contaminants including a transdisciplinary approach to managing contaminated sites Includes global case studies covering contaminated site assessment, management, and remediation Presents in-depth research and data on specific contaminants, with a separate chapter for each contaminant following a consistent structure
