About this book
This thesis provides a novel methodological basis for mechanistically understanding the dynamics of chemicals in products (CiPs) in the anthroposphere and physical environment and establishes a modeling continuum from production of a chemical to its concentrations in various environmental compartments. Using this framework, the thesis investigates how CiPs are transported and transformed and how they accumulate in the global environment. Furthermore, it identifies the measures needed to minimize their adverse effects on the environment and human society. It serves as an invaluable, interdisciplinary reference resource for industrial ecologists, environmental chemists and decision-makers involved in environmentally sound management of CiPs and associated waste.

About the author
Dr. Li Li obtained his bachelor degree (with highest honors) in Environmental Sciences from Nankai University in 2012, and completed his doctoral degree in Environmental Sciences from Peking University in 2017. He was also trained as an international visiting student at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2011 and at the University of Toronto Scarborough during 2015 – 2016. His research is concerned with understanding and modelling the fate of, and the human exposure to, problematic synthetic chemicals in the anthroposphere and physical environment. To date, he has published more than 20 peer-reviewed articles in highly regarded scientific periodicals. During his education at Peking University, he was twice awarded the China’s National Doctoral Scholarship by the Ministry of Education of China, and was recognized as a Nationally Outstanding Young Scientist across China by the Gao Tingyao Environmental Science and Technology Development Foundation.
