Description / Table of Contents: Properties, Potential Toxicity and Transformations of VMSs in the Environment -- Main Uses and Environmental Emissions of Volatile Methylsiloxanes -- Analytical Methods for Volatile Methylsiloxanes Quantification: Current Trends and Challenges -- Fate of Volatile Methylsiloxanes in Wastewater Treatment Plants -- Presence of Siloxanes in Sewage Biogas and Their Impact on Its Energetic Valorization -- Volatile Dimethylsiloxanes in Aquatic Systems -- Cyclic and Linear Siloxanes in Indoor Environments: Occurrence and Human Exposure -- Levels of Volatile Methyl Siloxanes in Outdoor Air -- Atmospheric Fate of Volatile Methyl Siloxanes -- Bioconcentration, Bioaccumulation and Biomagnification of Volatile Methylsiloxanes in Biota -- Volatile Methyl Siloxanes in Polar Regions -- Concluding Remarks and Future Perspectives.

Abstract: Comprising 12 chapters, this book focuses on volatile methylsiloxanes (VMSs), the shorter-chained organosiloxanes, and reviews the main areas and environmental compartments where they have been found and studied. It opens with a detailed description of the structural and functional properties, toxic risks and possible transformations of VMSs in the environment and their main uses in various activities and products, as well as the identification of the main sources of emission. Further chapters examine the analytical strategies and protocols that have been used to address the quantification of VMSs, including the issue of possible cross-contaminations. The book also discusses the presence of VMSs in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and in water bodies, their atmospheric fate and levels in biota, as well as occurrences of VMSs in remote areas of the world. It closes with a comprehensive conclusion and discussion on future directions for upcoming studies. This book is not intended as a finishing line, but rather as an important step towards improving our understanding of VMSs, to fuel new collaborations between research groups and/or with industry and lastly to convince more researchers to explore the mysteries of these ubiquitous, yet understudied, chemicals.

Abstract: This book will be a guiding path to understand the photocatalytic process and mechanism for the deterioration of heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants and pathogens from wastewater. Environmental remediation is of crucial importance in the context of human sustainability in the present and future times. The unplanned anthropogenic activities and revolutionary industrialization end up in environmental contamination with noxious organic-inorganic and biogenic pollutants. The photocatalytic disinfection and detoxification is the only solution to preserve and restore the ecological balance. The main emphasis is to explore and enhance the photocatalytic potentials of solar active-materials.

Description / Table of Contents: Strontium: Source, occurrence, properties and detection -- Isotopes of strontium: Properties and applications -- Strontium extraction from the geo-environment -- Biosorption of strontium from aqueous solutions -- Plant response under strontium and phytoremediation -- Uptake, transport, and remediation of strontium -- Spatial distribution of 90Sr in the ecosystems of Polesie State Radiation-Ecological Reserve -- Spatial distribution of 90Sr from different sources in soils of the Urals region, Russia -- 90Sr in the components of pine forests of Belarusian part of Chernobyl NPP exclusion zone -- Removal of strontium by physio-chemical adsorption and ion exchange methods -- Use of the sorption method for strontium removal -- Assessment of the alkaline earth metals (Ca, Sr, Ba) and their associated health impacts.

Abstract: This book provides an authoritative review of the origin and extraction of strontium and its impact on the environment. It also presents the latest strontium decontamination and remediation strategies. Around the globe, nuclear power is being recognized as a major source of energy and is expected to play a crucial role in meeting the energy requirements of present day society. However, the pros and cons have to be considered, and the safe disposal of large amounts of radionuclide wastes is becoming a matter of great concern. These wastes encompass contaminants such as heavy metals and toxic substances, which may exist in solid, liquid or gaseous forms or a combination of these, and as such, their disposal requires particular attention. The book focuses on 90Sr, which is a predominant isotope of strontium and considered an intermediate level radioactive waste with a half-life of 28.8 years, average biological half-life of 18 years and 546 KeV decay energy. Written by expert contributors, it addresses occurrence, detection and extraction of strontium, the chemical and nuclear properties of strontium isotopes, the fate and migration of strontium in soil, its bioaccumulation, and its associated health impact, mechanistic toxicity response as well as related regulation and remediation. It appeals to scholars, scientists and environmental managers working with strontium contamination in the environment and its consequences.
