Discover a timely, authoritative guide that confronts one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our era: the fate and control of emerging contaminants in organic wastes. This book opens with a clear, evidence-driven overview of contaminants — from pharmaceuticals and personal care Books to microplastics and endocrine disruptors — and traces their movement through wastewater, biosolids, compost, and agricultural soils.

Dive into practical, science-backed chapters on monitoring techniques, fate and transport mechanisms, risk assessment approaches, and a suite of treatment and mitigation strategies. Case studies and comparative analyses highlight real-world applications in urban and rural settings, offering insights relevant to waste managers, environmental engineers, policymakers, researchers, and sustainability professionals. Rich with data and actionable recommendations, the text balances rigorous research with pragmatic solutions for reducing environmental and human health risks.

Why this book matters: it combines global perspectives with region-specific examples across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, making it an indispensable resource for stakeholders working in diverse regulatory and climatic contexts. Whether you’re developing policy, designing treatment trains, or conducting field monitoring, you’ll find clear pathways to implementation and innovation.

Equip yourself with the knowledge to identify hotspots, evaluate control technologies, and design resilient waste management systems that protect ecosystems and communities. Add this essential reference to your professional library and lead the transition toward safer, more sustainable organic waste management today.
