Handbook of Environmental Materials Management

Abstract

Alarmingly large amounts of wastes with diversified composition and physicochemical properties are produced regularly by various anthropogenic activities. The accumulation of large quantity of wastes with severe toxic properties is becoming a threat for the healthy environment of the earth. Due to diversified compositions and properties, the management of such waste is complex and requires a high degree of fundamental and technological understanding for a viable treatment and post-treatment procedure. The growing concerns for the environment and consequences of the hazardous pollutants have attracted serious research attention to manage the waste and to mitigate the accompanying toxic pollutants. In this chapter, an overview of various wastes and pollutants regularly added to the environment and a current scenario for their management are presented. This chapter also discusses the mitigation of toxic pollutants of varying origin with a specific focus on the research methodologies developed toward this.
