Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products Waste Management and Treatment Technology: Emerging Contaminants and Micro Pollutants
provides the tools and techniques for identifying these contaminates
and applying the most effective technology for their remediation,
recovery and treatment. The consumption of pharmaceuticals and personal
care products (PPCPs) has grown significantly over the last 35 years,
thus increasing their potential risk to the environment. As PPCPs are
very difficult to detect and remove using conventional wastewater
treatment methods, this book provides solutions to a growing problem.
- Includes sampling, analytical and characterization methods and technology for detecting PPCPs in the environment
- Provides
advanced treatment and disposal technologies for the removal of PPCPs
from wastewater, surface water, landfills and septic systems
- Examines the pathways of PPCPs into the environment
