Evaluating Water Quality To Prevent Future Disasters Paperback

Satinder Ahuja

Separation science and technology can help solve water contamination problems. Better yet, it can help avoid problems due to similar catastrophes by evaluating water quality and determining its impact on the infrastructure. Separation Science Methods for Evaluating Water Quality: Preventing Future Disasters covers various separation methods that can be used to avoid water catastrophes that could arise from climate change, arsenic, lead, algal bloom, fracking, microplastics, impact of flooding, glyphosphates, triazines, GenX, and oil contamination to avoid future water disasters. The information in this book provides a valuable resource that will help the reader solve their potential water contamination problems or help them develop their own new approaches to monitor water contamination.
