The broadening of knowledge of organic pollutants (OPs) environmental fate and effects, as well as the decontamination techniques, is accompanied by an increase in significance of certain pollution sources (e.g. sewage sludge and dredged sediments application, textile industry), associated with a potential generation of new dangers for humans and natural ecosystems. The present book addresses these aspects, especially in the light of Organic Pollutants risk assessment as well as the practical application of novel analytical methods and techniques for removing OPs from the environment. Providing analytical and environmental update, this contribution can be particularly valuable for engineers and environmental scientists.PollutantsLife SciencesPollutionEnvironmental SciencesEnvironmental ManagementPollutants.628.52Aleksandra Mostrag-Szlichtyngauth1366009Puzyn TomaszMostrag-Szlichtyng AleksandraNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910137717303321Organic pollutants ten years after the Stockholm convention3388452UNINA
