    Analytical perspectives on emerging organic contaminants in the aquatic ecosystem
    (IGI Global, 2020) Miraji, Hossein; Ngassapa, Faustin; Othman, Othman Chande; Eunice, Mureithi
    This chapter introduces readers to the background of emerging contaminants by defining emerging contaminants and telling their history and their corresponding effects. It describes the dynamic properties of emerging contaminants such as advection and dispersion, chemistry, and their reactivity behavior. Lastly, it tells the analytical methodologies on sample preparation such as solid phase extraction and solid-phase micro-extraction, detection and quantification of organic ECs, and it proposes future perspectives of emerging contaminants.
