Environmental dynamics of persistent organic pollutants / Mahiya Kulsoom, Vertika Shukla, Narendra Kumar -- Causes, consequence and control of persistent organic pollutants / Ritu Singh, Sanjeev Kumar, Sushmita Kamarkar, Arif J Siddiqui, Ankita Mathur, Mohd Adnan, Vishnu D. Rajput, Anita Rani and Narendra Kumar -- Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) used in industrial processes : origin in environment / Brenda Natalia López Niño, and Michal Jeremias -- Role of incineration technology in production of persistent organic pollutants : is it safe? / Gagandeep Kour, Kajol Goria, Ashish Pathak, Richa Kothari, Deepak Pathania, Sunil Dhar, and V V Tyagi -- Occurrence, transport and effects of persistent organic pollutants in Chile / Felipe Tucca, Ricardo Barra and Gustavo Chiang -- Source of contamination and effect of food processing on pesticides residue in food / Sunita Mishra, Dhananjay Kumar and Poorva Dubey -- Emerging pollutants- a taciturn killer / Mala Trivedi, Manish Mathur and Rajesh K. Tiwari -- Ongoing use and monitoring of DDT in South Africa / Patricia Forbes, Yvette Naudé and Johanna Strumpher -- Flame retardants : analytical aspect of brominated flame retardants / Devendra Kumar Patel, Sandeep Kumar, Neha Gupta -- Microbial remediation of persistent organic pollutants / Sucharita Tandon -- Organic pollutants remediation using biobased nanomaterials / Shaibu E. Solomon, Edu J. Inam, Eno A. Moses, Nsikak A. Abraham, Nnanake-Abasi O. Offiong -- International legislation for containment of persistent organic pollutants and hazardous chemicals / Mahiya Kulsoom, Vertika Shukla, Narendra Kumar -- United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) : POPs and other toxic chemicals free future for all / Anupam Khajuria and Prabhat Verma.
"Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are toxic, degradation resistant, bio accumulative, and display wide spatial distribution which has been linked to mutagenic, reproductive and immunological disorders. In Stockholm Convention, a global treaty was agreed and envisaged to minimize and ultimately eliminate the release of POPs into the environment. The present compilation regarding POPs focusses on the sources, atmospheric behavior, terrestrial and aquatic food chain transfer, human exposure and fate aspects of this important class of chemicals including topical issues like temporal trends in contamination. Furthermore, chemical characteristics of individual POPs is also addressed. Features: Provides better understanding of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and how they affect humans and ecosystems. Includes genesis, categories, environmental fate and behavior, and associated hazards. Reviews analytical techniques involved in detection, human exposure and management. Discusses environmental dynamics of POPs. Focus is on the comprehensive account of PCDD/Fs, PCBs, and PAH; other organochlorine POPs such as DDT, lindane, and dieldrin. This book is aimed at researchers, professionals and graduate students in Life Science, Occupational Health and Safety, Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering"--
