Inmost cases, these strategies utilize interdisciplinary approaches that rely on chemistry, ecology,toxicology,hydrology,modelingandengineering. This book series provides an outlet to summarize environmental contamination related topics that provide a path forward in understanding the current state and mitigation,bothregionallyandglobally. Topic areas may include, but are not limited to, Environmental Fate and Effects, Environmental Effects Monitoring, Water Re-use, Waste Management, FoodSafety,EcologicalRestoration,RemediationofContaminatedSites,Analytical Methodology,andClimateChange.

Theyarelargeclassofchemicalspecieswithdiverse,richandinterestingchemistry. Consequently, their fate, dynamics, interactions and impact in aqua systems are highlycomplicated,whichnecessitatedaninnovativeapproachtotheirmanagement. Thisbookisacompendiumofresearcheffortsandfindingsonthesource,occur- rence,hydrochemistryandtheimpactofoxyanionsinaquasystems.Severalemer- gent innovative strategies proffered to ameliorate the effects of these hazardous chemical species in water, and those that have been deployed to transform their roles from being hazardous to being beneficial, were expounded in this book. The innovative management strategies for oxyanions in aqua systems were presented fromtheperspectivesoflaboratoryandfieldexperiences.
