This new volume addresses the environmental impacts of pollution on
freshwater aquatic ecosystems and presents sustainable management
and remediation practices and advanced technology help to address
the different types of pollutants. Freshwater Pollution and Aquatic
Ecosystems: Environmental Impact and Sustainable Management
considers the need for sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective
tools and technologies to assess, monitor, and properly manage the
increasing issues of aquatic pollution. It provides detailed
accounts of the phenomena and mechanisms related to aquatic
pollution and highlights the problems and threats associated with
pollution contamination in freshwater. It provides useful insight
into the sustainable and advanced pollution remediation technology
adopted by different countries for the monitoring, assessment, and
sustainable management of pollution. The chapters in the volume
evaluate the sources of harmful pollutants, which include
industrial effluents, sewage, and runoff from agricultural
industries, which result in toxic microbes, organic waste, oils,
and high load of nutrients. Unsustainable management practices of
domestic sewage and indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides lead
to the technological disturbance of aquatic biota. In addition to
harming aquatic biota, these pollutants find their way into the
human body through inhalation, ingestion, or absorption and finally
tend to bio-accumulate in trophic levels of the food chain, which
poses a major risk to human beings. This book will be a valuable
resource for ecologists, environmentalists, scientists, and many
others for their work in understanding and management of aquatic
pollutants in freshwater biospheres.
