Satellite-based instruments will be able to detect, to quantify, and to monitor a wide range of chemical pollutants. Our understanding of the fate and consequences of chemicals in the environment will increase dramatically such that we shall be able to predict the environmental, ecological and ...
PERSISTENT ORGANIC AND PHARMACEUTICAL POLLUTANTSGEOCHEMICAL MAPPINGMONITORING AND MODELLINGESSENTIALITYThe impact of chemicals on the environment and human health is a cause of increasing concern. Although many studies continue to be carried out on this subject, most address only individual chemicals or ...
This chapter introduces the terminology of environmental technology as it pertains to the sources and types of pollutants. Briefly, a contaminant, which is not usually classified as a pollutant unless it has some detrimental effect, can cause deviation from the normal composition of an environment. ...

At the same time, the current means of assessment of chemicals’ behaviour in the environment have proven to neither be able to cover the sheer number of commercially available compounds, nor has chemical management been able to avoid severe incidences of unintended chemical environmental occurrence ...
providing a legal basis for the coordinated control of atmospheric pollutants and greenhouse gases and reduction of pollution and carbon emissions. To further coordinate the functions, initiatives, and mechanisms for responding to climate change and protecting the eco-environment, China has defined major...
The present study refers to the use of an environmental pollutant generated during the removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous media. This pollutant is a material with catalytic properties suitable for application in the oxidative degradation of prob
For wastewater treatment, the catalytic elimination of inorganic and organic pollutants in wastewater is presented. In addition, the mechanism for the procedure of abatement of air and water pollutants by catalysis is discussed in this review. Finally, a research orientation on environment catalysis ...
Chemical recycling of polyolefins has received widespread attention for eliminating polyolefin pollution, as it is promising to convert polyolefin wastes to high-value chemicals (e.g., fuels, light olefins, aromatic hydrocarbons). However, the chemical recycling of polyolefins typically involves high-...
