It opens with a detailed description of the structural and functional properties, toxic risks and possible transformations of VMSs in the environment and their main uses in various activities and products, as well as the identification of the main sources of emission. Further chapters examine the analytical strategies and protocols that have been used to address the quantification of VMSs, including the issue of possible cross-contaminations. The book also discusses the presence of VMSs in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and in water bodies, their atmospheric fate and levels in biota, as well as occurrences of VMSs in remote areas of the world. It closes with a comprehensive conclusion and discussion on future directions for upcoming studies. This book is not intended as a finishing line, but rather as an important step towards improving our understanding of VMSs, to fuel new collaborations between research groups and/or with industry and lastly to convince more researchers to explore the mysteries of these ubiquitous, yet understudied, chemicals. 410 0$aThe Handbook of Environmental Chemistry,$x1867-979X ;$v89 606 $aEnvironmental chemistry 606 $aPollution 606 $aEnvironment 606 $aAnalytical chemistry 606 $aWater 606 $aEnvironmental Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U15000 606 $aPollution, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35000 606 $aEnvironment, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U00009 606 $aAnalytical Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C11006 606 $aWater, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/200000 615 0$aEnvironmental chemistry. 615 0$aPollution. 615 0$aEnvironment. 615 0$aAnalytical chemistry. 615 0$aWater. 615 14$aEnvironmental Chemistry. 615 24$aPollution, general. 615 24$aEnvironment, general. 615 24$aAnalytical Chemistry. 615 24$aWater, general. 676 $a546.6832 702 $aHomem$b Vera$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRatola$b Nuno$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910407730203321 996 $aVolatile Methylsiloxanes in the Environment$92247659 997 $aUNINA
