This book covers pharmaceutical residue dispersion in the aquatic environment and its toxic effect on living organisms. It discusses conventional and advanced remediation technologies like the use of biomaterials for the sequestration of contaminants, nanotechnology, and phytoremediation. The book includes topics like the removal of pharmaceutical and personal care product residues from water bodies, green chemistry, and legal regimen for pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment. it also covers the application of modified biochar in pharmaceutical removal.
Key Features: - Explores the management of environment through green chemistry
- Describes phytoremediation technology for decontamination of pharmaceuticals laden water and wastewater
- Covers the detection methods and quantification of pharmaceutical residues in various contaminated sources
- Discusses ecotoxicological aspects and risk assessment of pharmaceuticals in aquatic environment
- Reviews degradation and treatment technologies including nanotechnology, biomaterials, biochar
The book is meant for pharmaceutical, toxicology, and environmental science industry experts and researchers.
