Chiral Organic Pollutants Monitoring and Characterization in Food and the Environment Food Analysis & Properties Series

Chiral Organic Pollutants introduces readers to the growing challenges of chirality in synthetic chemicals. In this volume, contributors brilliantly summarize the characteristics of chiral pollutants to provide tools and techniques for effectively assessing their environmental and human health risks. Chapters cover recent research on the physicochemical properties, sources, exposure pathways, environmental fate, toxicity, and enantioselective analysis of chiral organic pollutants. Chiral Organic Pollutants also provides comprehensive discussions on the current trends in the synthesis and legislation of chiral chemicals.

Key Features:

• Includes sampling and analytical methods for the enantioselective analysis of a wide array of chiral organic pollutants in food and the environment
• Summarizes recent research on the sources, fate, transport, and toxicity of chiral organic pollutants in the environment
• Critically examines the sources and pathways of chiral organic pollutants such as pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and flame retardants in food
• Includes a comprehensive discussion on current trends in the enantioselective synthesis and chiral switching of pesticides and pharmaceuticals
• Provides analysis of current national and international regulations of chiral synthetic chemicals

The use of chiral synthetic chemicals such as pesticides, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and halogenated flame retardants has significantly grown in the past 60 years. Hence, understanding the human and environmental health effects of chiral organic pollutants is crucial in the industry, academia, and policymaking. Chiral Organic Pollutants is an excellent textbook and reference for students, scientists, engineers, and policymakers interested in food quality, environmental pollution, chemical analysis, organic synthesis, and toxicology.

Edmond Sanganyado, is an associate professor in the College of Science at Shantou University, China. He obtained his B.Sc. (Hons) in Applied Chemistry from the National University of Science and Technology, Zimbabwe, and his Ph.D. in Environmental Toxicology from the University of California Riverside under the direction of Dr. Jay Gan. Dr. Sanganyado worked as an analytical chemist at Kutsaga Research Station, where he gained expertise in chromatographic analysis. He was a postdoctoral research fellow at Shantou University before he was appointed an associate professor. Dr. Sanganyado has written over 30 peer-reviewed papers in journals such as Chemical Engineering Journal, Water Research, Environment International, and Environmental Pollution. His research focuses on the application of chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques to understand the behavior of chemical pollutants in aquatic environments. He contributed to our understanding of the implications of stereochemistry on the analysis, fate, and toxicity of chiral pollutants. In recognition of his contribution to sustainability, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry awarded him the Periodic Table of the Younger Chemists. Dr. Sanganyado is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Fulbright Fellowship (2011), Zhujiang Postdoctoral Fellowship (2017), Shantou University Excellent Postdoctoral Fellowship (2018), IUPAC Periodic Table of the Younger Chemists Award (2018), and Shantou University Outstanding Young Talent (2019).
