Emerging Contaminants in River Ecosystems
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-29374-5 (ISBN)
This volume offers an overview of the occurrence of emerging organiccontaminants in Mediterranean rivers and their relevance to their chemical and ecologicalquality under water scarcity. With chapters covering the effects under multiple stressconditions of pharmaceuticals, polar pesticides, personal care products, and industrialchemicals, the observations presented can be applicable to other parts of theworld where water scarcity is an issue . It is of interest to environmentalchemists, ecologists, environmental engineers, and ecotoxicologists, as well aswater managers and decision-makers.
