Environmental Chemistry and Pollution Control

Water quality and pollutant control

Water pollution control is clearly one of the most critical of those challenges. Without urgent and properly directed action, developing countries face mounting problems of disease, environmental degradation, and economic stagnation, as precious water resources become more and more contaminated. Prevent pollution rather than treating symptoms of pollution. Although wastewater treatment facilities have been installed and improved over the years in many countries, water pollution remains a problem, including in industrialized countries. In some situations, the introduction of improved wastewater treatment has only led to increased pollution from other media, such as wastewater sludge.
