Over the last few years there has been a growing concern over the increasing concentration of
micropollutants originating from a great variety of sources including pharmaceutical, chemical
engineering and personal care product industries in rivers, lakes, soil and groundwater. As most of
the micropollutants are polar and persistent compounds, they are only partially or not at all
removed from wastewater and thus can enter the environment posing a great risk to the biota. It is
hypothesized that wastewater is one of the most important point sources for micropollutants.
Treatment of Micropollutants in Water and Wastewater will also enable readers to make
well informed choices through providing an understanding of why and how micropollutants must be
removed from water sources, and what are the most appropriate and available techniques for
providing a cost and technologically effective and sustainable solutions for reaching the goal of
micropollutant-free water and wastewater.
