Emerging Micropollutants in Agro-ecosystems: Sources, Challenges, and Mitigation Approaches

Editat de Kuldeep Bauddh, Swati Sachdev, John Korstad
en Limba Engleză Paperback – mar 2027
Emerging Micropollutants in Agro-ecosystems: Sources, Challenges, and Mitigation Approaches offers a comprehensive and timely exploration of Emerging Micropollutants (EMPs) in agricultural environments—tracking their origins, environmental behavior, health risks, and cutting-edge solutions. Structured into five in-depth sections, the book examines the identification and fate of various EMPs in agro-ecosystems, while also unpacking the health threats they pose to soil biodiversity, aquatic systems, and human populations through the food chain. It evaluates the efficiency and limitations of physical, chemical, and biological approaches for reducing EMP contamination, while emphasizing the crucial role of plant-microbe partnerships in ecosystem restoration.

The book also looks ahead, highlighting how advanced technologies, forward-thinking policymaking, and public awareness can drive long-term environmental stewardship and sustainable agriculture. Bridging scientific depth with practical insight, this volume is an essential resource for researchers, environmental professionals, and policymakers working to secure healthier soils, safer food, and a cleaner future.

  • Traces the full lifecycle of emerging micropollutants (EMPs) in agriculture—from their sources to their impact
  • Helps readers discover a variety of physical, chemical, and biological methods, with a focus on nature-driven solutions like plant-microbe interactions for sustainable agriculture
  • Equips users with next-gen tools like omics technologies and AI monitoring to tackle EMP contamination and promote sustainable agro-ecosystems
