Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Bioremediation of Endocrine Disrupting Pollutants in Industrial Wastewater

by Izharul Haq (Editor), Ajay S. Kalamdhad (Editor), Ashok Pandey (Editor)

Overview

Bioremediation of Endocrine Disrupting Pollutants in Industrial Wastewater describes the occurrence and sources of endocrine disruptive pollutants (EDPs) in various industrial wastewaters. It discusses the type of EDPs, their effects and detection and treatment methods and presents the fate and effect of EDPs, their quantitative and qualitative analysis in industrial wastewaters and treatment through conventional and advanced technologies. It also presents the most advanced and innovative approaches for the management of EDPs in industrial wastewaters.The book will be a vital source of information for the students and researchers who have interest in emerging pollutants, specifically endocrine disruptive pollutants for their treatment and management.
