Waste water is very often discharged to fresh waters and results in changing ecological performance and biological diversity of these systems. Consequently, the environmental impact of foreign chemicals on water ecosystems and the associated long-term effects are of major international concern. This makes both waste water treatment and water quality monitoring very important issues. The main sources of waste water can be classified as municipal, industrial and agricultural. Depending on the nature of the waste water, effluents may have high contents of harmful organic compounds, heavy metals and hazardous biological materials. Heavy metals are re‐ leased during mining and mineral processing as well as from several industrial waste water streams. On the other hand, large quantities of organic pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls, organochlorine pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated di‐ benzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans have been released to the environment especially dur‐ ing the last 50 years. Furthermore, relatively new organic substances, namely pharmaceuti‐ cals, cosmetics and endocrine disrupting chemicals, have been found in natural waters close to urban sites in the last 15 years and are now viewed as emerging contaminants. Finally, raw sewage can carry a number of pathogens including bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fun‐ gi. The book offers an interdisciplinary collection of topics concerning waste water treatment technologies and the evaluation of waste water impact on natural environments. The chap‐ ters were invited by the publisher and the authors are responsible for their statements. The book is divided into two sections: the chapters grouped in the first section are mainly con‐ cerned with management and remediation technologies, while the chapters grouped in the second section are mainly focused on analytical techniques and the evaluation of environ‐ mental impact. The first section covers basic knowledge concerning the most frequently used waste water treatment technologies. The suitability of different techniques according to the nature of the effluent to be treated is discussed taking into account advantages and drawbacks. The chapters grouped in the second section of the book cover several aspects of modern techniques for the analysis of trace pollutants. Monitoring of water quality is re‐ quired to assess the effects of pollution sources on aquatic ecosystems. Sensitive and selec‐ tive techniques, often necessary for the evaluation of the effects of waste water streams on natural waters, are comprehensive overviewed. VIII Preface We hope that this publication will be helpful for graduate students, environmental profes‐ sionals and researchers of various disciplines related to waste water. We would like to ac‐ knowledge the authors, who are from different countries, for their contributions to the book. We wish to offer special thanks to the Publishing Process Managers for their important help throughout the publishing process. Fernando S.
