Description
Volume 9 focuses on natural and anthropogenic environmental contaminants and their implications for human health and the environment.
Environmental impacts on soils, groundwater, freshwater, the oceans and atmosphere are examined in the context of both inorganic geochemistry
(metals, metalloids, radioactive compounds, mineral dusts, dissolved salts, acidification) and organic geochemistry (halogenated and
non-halogenated hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, fuel oxygenates, pesticides, nutrients). Issues of risk, toxicity and exposure
assessment; contaminant fate and transport; remediation and disposal; and source identification are examined in this context.
Reprinted
