Over the last 15 years, the focus of chemical pollution has shifted from conventional pollutants to so-called aemerginga or anewa unregulated contaminants. These include pharmaceuticals and personal care products, hormones, UV filters, perfluorinated compounds, poylybrominated flame retardants (BFRs), pesticides, plasticizers, artificial sweeteners, illicit drugs, and endocrine disruptor compounds (EDCs). Despite the increasing number of published studies covering emerging contaminants, we know almost nothing about the effects of their transformation products and/or metabolites. This two-volume set provides a unique collection of research on transformation products, their occurrence, fate and risks in the environment. It contains 32 chapters, organised into 7 parts, each with a distinct focus: ac General Considerations ac Transformation Processes and Treatment Strategies ac Analytical Strategies ac Occurrence, Fate and Effects in the Environment ac Global Speciality and Environmental Status ac Risk Assessment, Management and Regulatory Framework ac Outlook Transformation Products of Emerging Contaminants in the Environment is a valuable resource for researchers and industry professionals in environmental chemistry, analytical chemistry, ecotoxicology, environmental sciences, and hydrology, as well as environmental consultants and regulatory bodies.This two-volume set provides a unique collection of research on transformation products, their occurrence, fate and risks in the environment.
