Water is one of the precious and basic needs of life for all living beings and is a precious national asset. Without it, the existence of life cannot be imagined. Availability of pure water is decreasing day by day, and water scarcity has become a major problem that is faced by our society for the past few years. Hence, it is essential to find and disseminate the key solutions for water quality and scarcity issues. The inaccessibility and poor water quality continue to pose a major threat to human health worldwide. Around billions of people lacking to access drinkable water. The water contains the pathogenic impurities, which are responsible for water-borne diseases. The concept of water quality mainly depends on the chemical, physical, biological, and radiological measurement standards to evaluate the water quality and determine the concentration of all components and then to compare the results of this concentration with the purpose for which this water is used. Therefore, awareness and a firm grounding in water science are the primary needs of readers, professionals, and researchers working in this research area.
This book explores the basic concepts and applications of water science. It provides an in-depth look at water pollutants’ classification, water recycling, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and efficient wastewater treatment methodologies. It also provides occurrence, human health risk assessment, strategies for removal of radionuclides, and pharmaceuticals in aquatic systems. The book chapters are written by leading researchers throughout the world. This book is an invaluable guide to students, professors, scientists, and R&D industrial specialists working in the field of environmental science, geoscience, water science, physics, and chemistry.
Chapter 1 provides a general overview of different analytical methodologies that have been proposed for the analysis of phthalic acid esters in water samples. Special attention has been given to methods based on the application of sorbent-based microextraction techniques (i.e., solid-phase microextraction and micro solid-phase extraction magnetized or not, among others).
Chapter 2 discusses the occurrence, dissemination, and behavior of pharmaceuticals in aquatic environments. Human exposure pathways and health risks, including the emergence of antimicrobial resistance are summarized. Risk
