Over the last 15 years, the focus of chemical pollution has shifted from conventional
pollutants to so-called "emerging" or "new" unregulated contaminants. These include
pharmaceuticals and personal care products, hormones, UV filters, perfluorinated compounds,
poylybrominated flame retardants (BFRs), pesticides, plasticizers, artificial sweeteners,
illicit drugs, and endocrine disruptor compounds (EDCs). Despite the increasing number
of published studies covering emerging contaminants, we know almost nothing about
the effects of their transformation products and/or metabolites. This two-volume set
provides a unique collection of research on transformation products, their occurrence,
fate and risks in the environment. It contains 32 chapters, organised into 7 parts,
each with a distinct focus: General Considerations Transformation Processes and Treatment
Strategies Analytical Strategies Occurrence, Fate and Effects in the Environment Global
Speciality and Environmental Status Risk Assessment, Management and Regulatory Framework
Outlook Transformation Products of Emerging Contaminants in the Environment is a valuable
resource for researchers and industry professionals in environmental chemistry, analytical
chemistry, ecotoxicology, environmental sciences, and hydrology, as well as environmental
consultants and regulatory bodies
