Sampler systems for tracking emitters of phenanthrene in sewers

This manuscript is based on the doctoral dissertation which Giacomo Bertini wrote as a PhD student within the Marie Curie project ATWARM (Advanced Technologies for Water Resource Management). The definition of the sorption memory of microbial biofilms is introduced and the use of biofilms and other materials is proposed in order to trace PAH pollutants in sewers. This book represents also a review of the most relevant studies on this subject.
