Emerging Contaminants in Soil and Groundwater Systems: Occurrence, Impact, Fate and Transport addresses the current need for comprehensive and detailed information on emerging contaminants in the environment. Due to increasing industrial expansion and evolving technologies, novel contaminants are being found in the environment with little information on their analysis, fate and transport. This book covers pharmaceuticals and personal care products, perfluorinated compounds, engineered nanoparticles and microplastics, providing the information environmental scientists require to study their occurrence and interactions, including case studies for each contaminant.

This book is a valuable read for postgraduate students, academics, researchers, engineers and other professionals in the fields of Environmental Science, Soil Science, and Hydrology who need the most up-to-date information and analytical methods for analyzing newly emerging contaminants in soil and groundwater.

Prof. Bin Gao is the Kodak Chair Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA. Prior to this, he was a Professor at the University of Florida, a Research Associate at Cornell University, and a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Yale University. He earned his PhD degree in Environmental Engineering at Cornell University, United States, and his BS Chemistry and MS Environmental Chemistry degrees from Nanjing University, China. He has an extensive list of publications in the field of environmental science and engineering. Prof. Gao has received numerous professional honors including Fulbright Distinguished Scholar, SSSA Fellow, Web of Science Highly Cited Researcher, and NSF CAREER Award.
