Water containing significant amounts of inorganic and organic contaminants can have serious environmental consequences and serious health implications when ingested. Contamination of Water: Health Risk Assessment and Treatment Strategies takes an interconnected look at the various pollutants, the source of contamination, the effects of contamination on aquatic ecosystems and human health, and what the potential mitigation strategies are. This book is organized into three sections. The first section examines the sources of potential contamination. This includes considering the current scenario of heavy metal and pesticide contamination in water as well as the regions impacted due to industrialization, mining, or urbanization. The second section goes on to discuss water contamination and health risks caused by toxic elements, radiological contaminants, microplastics and nanoparticles, and pharmaceutical and personal care products. This book concludes with a section exploring efficient low-cost treatment technologies and remediation strategies that remove toxic pollutants from water. Contamination of Water incorporates both theoretical and practical information that will be useful for researchers, professors, graduate students, and professionals working on water contamination, environmental and health impacts, and the management and treatment of water resources.

Dr. Arif Ahamad is presently working as an Assistant Professor (Department of Environmental Science, Daulatram College, University of Delhi, New Delhi, India). He has obtained his master’s degree from the Department of Environmental Science, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi, India in 2011. He obtained his M.Phil. degree in 2014 and doctorate degree in 2019 from the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi. The area of his doctoral research is Potentially Toxic Elements (PTEs) in the Groundwater, Soil and Road dust from the Industrial area in Sonbhadra district, Uttar Pradesh, India. He has published more than 10 papers/Book chapters in international and national publishing house in the field of ground water and surface water contamination, wastewater effluent, and landfills as a source of contamination and human health risk assessment. Apart from these several papers are under review. He has also written some editorial articles in popular English newspapers. He presented his research works on several national and international platforms. Dr. Sharf Elahi Siddiqui has earned his Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from Jamia Millia Islamia University, New Delhi, India in 2019. He has done his Master’s in Chemistry from Department of Chemistry, Aligarh Muslim University in 2011 and MPhil from Department of Chemistry, Kanpur University, Kanpur in 2013. He is particularly interested in the wastewater treatment using advance materials based on the natural plant materials and nanoparticles, and during his PhD, has concentrated upon preparation of multifunctional organic-inorganic nanocomposite having the application properties in the area of photo-catalysis, adsorption, antioxidant and antibacterial. He has developed the lowcost multifunctional material by mixing a low cost and abundant phytogenic plant materials and lower toxic nanoparticles having unique properties. These materials can introduce extraordinary multifunction properties for water treatment having application properties of magnetic separation, photo-catalysis, adsorption and antibacterial properties. He has published several research papers in the peer journals like Journal. He has also published several review papers and book chapters, which cover the recent advancement in the field of water treatment. Dr. Pardeep Singh is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Environmental Science, PGDAV College, University of Delhi, in New Delhi, India.
