Contaminants in Our Water: Identification and Remediation Methods

Abstract

Examples from the Field. Access to safe drinking water continues to be an international concern. While some sources of contamination can be identified and removed, other contaminants appear from unknown sources. This collection of research includes studies to detect contaminants as well as reports on remediation techniques. Specific contaminants include heavy metals, pesticides, disinfection by-products, GenX, microplastics, antibiotics, and others. Analytical and environmental chemists, as well as researchers focused on water quality, will find this work valuable.
