River Pollution: Causes, Consequences and Remediation delves into the critical issue of river pollution, offering a comprehensive analysis of various pollutants and their sources. Sections explore the natural and anthropogenic origins of river pollutants, including harmful algal blooms, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, microplastics, atmospheric deposition, emerging contaminants, industrial waste, and heavy metals and then examine the profound impacts of these pollutants on microbial diversity, aquatic flora and fauna, fish health, river chemistry, salinization, and human health, as well as the socioeconomic repercussions. The final section focuses on the assessment of water quality and presents a range of remedial measures, from wastewater treatment and physical, chemical, and bioremediation methods to innovative techniques for pollution mitigation. This essential resource provides valuable insights for students and researchers of environmental science, policymakers, and organizations committed to preserving the health of our rivers and the ecosystems they support.
