The book presents some of the findings of research into China's water
quality criteria for toxic pollutants, including heavy metals, PAHs and
emerging pollutant. Water quality criteria (WQC) are the scientific
basis for establishing water quality standards (WQSs). For a long time,
the study of WQC in China has been neglected, so that almost all of
China's WQSs were developed based on foreign WQC. This book provides
valuable information for environmental management and revision of WQSs.
It has been written for researchers and graduate students in the field
of environmental science and risk assessors for chemical and pollutants
etc.
