High-Risk Pollutants in Wastewater presents the basic knowledge regarding the diversity, concentrations, and health and environmental impacts of HRPs in municipal wastewater. The book summarizes the information of the types (e.g. heavy metals, toxic organics and pathogens) and toxicities of HRPs in wastewater. The book also describes ecological and health hazards or risks arising from the living things' direct/indirect contacts with the HRPs during their full lifecycles (generation, disposal, discharge and reuse) in wastewater or water environments. High-Risk Pollutants in Wastewater presents the concepts of appropriate technology for HRP hazard/risk assessment and wastewater treatment/reuse and the issues of strategy and policy for increasing the risk control coverage. The book focuses on the resolution of water quality monitoring and wastewater treatment and disposal problems in both developed and developing countries, and the concepts presented are wished to be valid and applicable in risk warning and control for wastewater discharge into the environment and reuse for any purposes.
