Modern Treatment Strategies for Marine Pollution: Recent Innovations

Modern Treatment Strategies for Marine Pollution: Recent Innovations provides an overview on assessment tools for identifying contaminants in marine water, along with the latest technologies for removing these contaminants. Through the templated and consistently structured 12 chapters, the author explores the importance of seawater to our marine ecosystems and the devastating effects pollutants are causing. But rather than dwelling on the damage done, this book focuses on the future and the latest techniques that have been developed to help clean up pollutants and remediate their effects. This includes the emission of toxic pollutants from industries, wastewater discharge, oil spills from boarding ships, ballast water emission, abnormal growth of algal blooms and more. Some of the techniques that are explored in this book include huge diameter pipelines that are erected for removing the floating debris from seawater, which is denoted as a primary idea for cleaning contaminants from water. The author also includes legislations that should be established to prevent our oceans from further contamination. Modern Treatment Strategies for Marine Pollution: Recent Innovations includes numerous case studies to demonstrate how these tools can be used successfully. It is an essential read for marine ecologists and oceanographers at the graduate level and above and also those looking to incorporate these techniques into their own work. Presents and discusses advanced technologies used in the treatment of marine waterIncludes case studies to show what techniques have been successful and to help the reader incorporate these techniques into their own workPresents new information on contamination assessment and analytical protocols for identifying pollutants, which is essential for readers to use in their own work INDICE: 1.
