Elsevier Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals: Environmental Occurrence, Risk, and Remediation

Product Description Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals: Fate, Detection and Remediation provides both the practical and theoretical aspects of the origin and removal of EDCs. The book integrates in one system all relevant research in monitoring, detection and control, and provides a multi-barrier approach to managing EDCs that helps relevant stakeholders take preventive measures for the risks associated with EDCs in the environment (e.g., water, wastewater, soil and other natural ecosystems). The book not only provides a technological solution for managing these emerging pollutants but also comprehensively treats the origin, fate, and mechanisms of EDCs. This makes the book an indispensable source of information for researchers to develop sustainable, affordable and commercially viable monitoring and remedial systems. Review Concise and handy source of information for researchers to develop sustainable, affordable, and commercially viable monitoring and remedial systems From the Back Cover EDC have become a global concern due to their toxicological effects on humans and ecological systems. Researchers working in this field generally struggle to understand the various aspects of EDC and miss a thorough and critical discussion on various monitoring and remedial approaches.<br><br><i>Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals</i> provides both practical and theoretical aspects of the origin and removal of EDCs.
