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
