Biography
Walter E. Goldstein, PhD, PE, founded Goldstein Consulting Company in 1994. He founded and developed a forensic sciences DNA profiling laboratory at the University of Nevada–Las Vegas from 2003 to 2008. It was shortly after this that his first book for Taylor & Francis was published, Sick Building Syndrome and Related Illness: Prevention and Remediation of Mold Contamination. Dr. Goldstein holds a BS in chemical engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology (1961), and an MS(1971) and PhD in chemical engineering from the University of Notre Dame (1973). He also holds an MBA from Michigan State University (1968).
The accumulation of pharmaceuticals in the environment has been an issue of continued concern… The present title reflects the magnitude of the problem that requires further attention and research efforts. … the text proposes advancements and applications that can help control the accumulation of pharmaceuticals and improve the environment. It serves as a resource for those in the pharmaceutical industries, personal care product industries and related areas; scientists and researchers in related areas; as well as environmental protection agencies and managers."
—International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, 2015"… offers a largely American perspective on the problems of pharmaceuticals in drinking water. One of the key issues addressed is the health impacts of pharmaceuticals, including antibiotic resistance. … a very timely addition to the literature on this topic. It provides a complete overview of the presence and fate of pharmaceuticals in the environment, their health impacts, and environmental risks posed by them, and proposes remediation technologies for removing pharmaceutical residues from wastewater. The book is written by well-known experts in the field."
