Description:

**Dangerous Pollutants (Xenobiotics) in Urban Water Cycle** *NATO Science for Peace and Security Series* This series presents results of scientific meetings supported under the NATO Programme: Science for Peace and Security (SPS). The NATO SPS Programme supports meetings in Key Priority areas: Defence Against Terrorism, Countering Other Threats to Security, and NATO, Partner and Mediterranean Dialogue Country Priorities. Supported meeting types are generally Advanced Study Institutes (ASI) and Advanced Research Workshops (ARW). Following a 2006 programme transformation, the series has been re-named and re-organized. Recent volumes on non-security topics from earlier supported meetings can be found in the NATO Science Series. Published by IOS Press, Amsterdam, and Springer, Dordrecht, in conjunction with the NATO Public Diplomacy Division. **Sub-Series:** A. Chemistry and Biology Springer B.
