The authors are well-known researchers from Mexico, Spain, Portugal, Italy,
Australia and India and make exhaustive reviews and show the findings identified in
their investigations related to NSAIDs occurrence, toxicity characterization using
different biomarkers, as well as showing some technologies for the removal of
NSAIDs and legal framework of the NSAIDs around the world. This compilation of
research in world countries allows us to have a very specific vision of the specific
water problem by NSAIDs and consider solution proposals.
The authors and I hope that our book complies with the diverse and generalized
expectations and needs for information about the contamination problem in the
world by NSAIDs.
I thank all the authors of this book for their professional expertise and thoroughness in writing up their chapters; the Universidad Auto ´noma del Estado de Me ´xico
for the unending support it has shown as my employing entity; my research group;
and my family, most especially my mother, Aida Oliva ´n, and friends for the
enthusiasm and support they have always shown.
