Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Emerging pollutants (EPs) in the environment have become a significant
source of pollution and cause of serious concern for the ecosystem and human health.
Although during the recent decades, extensive research has been performed worldwide
for the detection and analysis of EPs, continuous refinement, and development of
specific analytical techniques; a great number of undetected EPs still need to be
investigated in different components of the ecosystem and biological tissues.
Therefore, this chapter provides extensive reviews of several emerging pollutants
reported around the globe along with their physiochemical properties and potential
ecological impacts. Moreover, formulated legislations and policy regulations for the
monitoring of EPs are also discussed in this chapter.
