This report considers specific pollutants such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products, antimicrobials and antibiotics, hormones, plasticizers, surfactants, fire retardants, pesticides, and nanoparticles. It is a must-have for undergraduate and graduate students in environmental engineering and resources; teachers; researchers; and practicing environmental engineers.
