Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are chemicals that resist environmental degradation and cause deleterious effects on the environment and human well-being. Once released into the environment they can travel long distances and persist for a longer duration. Persistent Organic Pollutants: Gaps in Management and Associated Challenges highlights the complex area of POPs in simple language and deals with the fundamentals of the chemicals, their sources, and their impacts on human health. Discusses previously known and newly developed POPs and their sources, effects, and transport Explains current and upcoming challenges in the management of POPs Highlights new technologies for remediation and sound management of POPs Covers measures taken for the elimination of POPs in various countries and the role of the Stockholm Convention With its comprehensive approach, this book is an indispensable source of knowledge for professionals and students in chemical and environmental engineering and science working to mitigate the effect of POPs in the environment.
