商品描述
This book reviews environmental contaminants in terms of their sources, impacts, and health risk assessment, with a focus on soil pollution, groundwater contamination, and integrated management strategies. It explores the genesis and mobilization of contaminants such as microplastics, heavy metals, and PFAS, providing a comprehensive overview of their environmental and health implications. Divided into four parts, the book begins with an introduction to contaminants and health, followed by sections covering soil and groundwater contamination and remediation. It concludes with discussions on integrated management approaches, emphasizing the "One Health" perspective to address ecological contamination challenges. The chapters cover topics such as the global distribution and mobility of microplastics, the bioaccumulation potential of PFAS, and the cumulative health risks from heavy metals in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The book also investigates the link between environmental contamination and diseases, particularly tuberculosis and lung cancer in Romania. It highlights innovative remediation techniques, such as using Miscanthus giganteus for soil decontamination, and examines the impact of climate change on soil contaminants. Readers will discover case studies from countries such as India and Ghana, offering practical insights into groundwater contamination and management strategies. This volume is an invaluable resource for environmental scientists, engineers, policy planners, and researchers. It provides science-based solutions and real-world case studies, making it essential reading for those seeking to understand and manage environmental contaminants effectively.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書回顧環境污染物的來源、影響及健康風險評估，重點關注土壤污染、地下水污染及綜合管理策略。它探討了微塑料、重金屬及PFAS等污染物的生成與移動，提供了其環境及健康影響的全面概述。
本書分為四個部分，首先介紹污染物與健康，接著涵蓋土壤及地下水污染與修復的章節。最後，討論綜合管理方法，強調「一健康」（One Health）觀點以應對生態污染挑戰。各章節涵蓋的主題包括微塑料的全球分佈與流動性、PFAS的生物累積潛力，以及波士尼亞和黑塞哥維那重金屬的累積健康風險。本書還調查了環境污染與疾病之間的聯繫，特別是在羅馬尼亞的結核病和肺癌。它突顯了創新的修復技術，例如使用Miscanthus giganteus進行土壤去污，並檢視氣候變遷對土壤污染物的影響。讀者將發現來自印度和加納等國的案例研究，提供有關地下水污染及管理策略的實用見解。
本書對環境科學家、工程師、政策規劃者及研究人員而言，是一個無價的資源。它提供基於科學的解決方案和現實案例研究，對於那些希望有效理解和管理環境污染物的人來說，是必讀之作。
