Description:Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are toxic, degradation resistant, bio accumulative, and display wide spatial distribution which has been linked to mutagenic, reproductive and immunological disorders. In Stockholm Convention, a global treaty was agreed and envisaged to minimize and ultimately eliminate the release of POPs into the environment. The present compilation regarding POPs focusses on the sources, atmospheric behavior, terrestrial and aquatic food chain transfer, human exposure and fate aspects of this important class of chemicals including topical issues like temporal trends in contamination. Furthermore, chemical characteristics of individual POPs is also addressed.Features:Provides better understanding of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and how they affect humans and ecosystems.Includes genesis, categories, environmental fate and behavior, and associated hazards.Reviews analytical techniques involved in detection, human exposure and management.Discusses environmental dynamics of POPs.Focus is on the comprehensive account of PCDD/Fs, PCBs, and PAH; other organochlorine POPs such as DDT, lindane, and dieldrin.This book is aimed at researchers, professionals and graduate students in Life Science, Occupational Health and Safety, Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
