Description
Environmental forensics is the application of scientific techniques for the purpose of identifying the source and age of a contaminant.
Over the past several years, this study has been expanding as a course of study in academia, government and commercial markets. The
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are among
the governmental agencies that utilize the study of environmental forensics to ensure national security and to ensure that companies
are complying with standards. Even the International Network for Environmental Compliance and Enforcement (INECE), a group supported
by the European Commission and the World Bank, utilizes the study of environmental forensics as it applies to terror threats.

available.
