Description
Large amounts of data obtained through environmental monitoring of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in 10 Asian countries and Australia
have been compiled and explored using principles of environmental chemistry, toxicology, and risk assessment. This book also includes
descriptions and discussions of current governmental policies, monitoring and surveillance programs, history of manufacturing and applications,
emission sources, impacts on human health, and cross-boundary transport of POPs in these countries.
Audience
Environmental researchers, government decisions makers, international organizations, environmental organizations, chemical industries
seeking information on persistent organic pollutants on a global scale.
