This book is a compendium of research efforts and findings on the sources, occurrences, hydrochemistry, and several operating variables that influence the presence of oxyanions in aqua system. The content of this book has been designed to provide an insightful account of an array of innovative technologies for the management of the impacts of oxyanions in water, the progress and drawbacks of these technologies and those that have been effectively deployed to transform oxyanions in water to beneficial species. This book further x-rays global laws and economic policies targeted at effectively curtailing the presence of harmful oxyanions in water, challenges facing these policies, and future perspectives on how best to reduce the level of these harmful oxyanions in water to safe limit. The book is relevant to water professionals, policy makers, academics, and research students.

Environmental Pollution and Public Health: Case Studies on Air, Water and Soil from an Interdisciplinary Perspective provides detailed case studies showing real-world applications of the latest technologies surrounding pollution in air, water and soil. Sections cover the environment and its nexus with public health, highlighting how the health of our environment can invariably influence our public health. Following this, atmospheric pollution is addressed, identifying various air pollutants, methods for identification, impacts on the environment and health, and mitigating technologies. Final sections are dedicated to liquid waste management, focusing on wastewater and treatment options including emerging technologies that are compared to existing options. The book finishes with case studies and information on regulatory frameworks for environmental pollution for those wanting to implement the remediation techniques covered. This is a necessary read for postgraduates, academics, professionals and researchers in environmental science, soil science, environmental health, and waste management who need the latest sustainable remediation practices and case studies and the efficacy of the associated techniques.
