Full Description

Contaminants of Emerging Concern in the Environment: An Analytical Framework addresses the pressing issue of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in the environment, which continue to pose threats due to their continuous occurrence and potential adverse effects. With the need for new analytical methods to detect these contaminants at trace levels in various environmental matrices, such as air, water, and solid samples, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the analytical framework developed since 2010. By detailing sampling and sample pretreatment techniques, chromatographic separation coupled with mass spectrometry, and portable in-situ determination methods, it equips researchers and practitioners with the necessary tools to effectively analyze and monitor CECs. This book offers practical insights through case studies of analytical procedures, enabling readers to transfer these methods to their own laboratories. It critically discusses the pros and cons of cutting-edge analytical technologies, providing a nuanced understanding of their applications and limitations. By disseminating this state-of-the-art knowledge, Contaminants of Emerging Concern in the Environment: An Analytical Framework contributes to the ongoing efforts to address the challenges posed by emerging contaminants, facilitating informed decision-making and effective environmental management strategies.
