Preface

Rapid industrialization and urbanization is a serious concern for healthy and green environment. The contamination of environments (soil/water/air) with various toxic pollutants released from natural as well as anthropogenic activities and their adverse effects on living organisms needs focused research to mitigate and solve these problems. This book provides a detailed knowledge on the different types of emerging toxic environmental pollutants discharged from various natural and anthropogenic sources, their toxicological effects in environments, humans, animals, and plants, as well as their biodegradation and bioremediation approaches by various emerging and eco-friendly approaches such as anammox technology, advance oxidation processes, membrane bioreactors, microbial degradation (bacteria, fungi, algae, etc.), and phytoremediation. Hence, this book provides a detai
