| Abstract

:
|
To ensure sustainability of water that is safe for drinking, fish, wildlife, industry, irrigation, and recreation, it is critical to explore water quality in greater detail. Over the last 10 years, improved laboratory techniques have led to the discovery of microbial and viral contaminants, pharmaceuticals, and endocrine disruptors in our waters that were not monitored previously. This book will cover at length issues of water quality (natural and human- related), discussions about monitoring contaminants (including pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors), and remediation of water contamination. This book is an introduction to an upcoming Major Reference Work by the same editor, Professor Sut Ahuja, Comprehensive Water Quality and Purification, to be published in 2014. Monitoring Water Quality, deals with water, the second most essential ingredient to sustain our life, discusses methods for monitoring a variety of water contaminants, describes various problems and solutions for sustainability of water quality worldwide, features up-to-date information on new chemicals and their environmental impacts is a paramount in such a changing environment, covers the continual influx of new pollutants into the environment, as well as new pollutant impacts continually being found from existing chemicals in use, provides up-to-date information on prevalence, analysis, and treatment critically needed by scientists and regulators.
