Rashed M. Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)...2022

Textbook in PDF format

This volume deals with several aspects of POP monitoring, occurrence, impact, and treatment technologies. The book addresses such topics as the effect of POPs on wildlife, their role in hepatocarcinogenesis, treatment of POPs in wastewater, and much more.
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are toxic organic compounds that resist environmental degradation through biological, chemical, and photolytic processes. Many POPs are currently used as pesticides, pharmaceuticals, solvents, and industrial chemicals. Because of their persistence, POPs bioaccumulate and adversely affect human health and the environment.
