Environmental Forensics for Persistent Organic Pollutants represents the state-of-the-art in environmental forensics in relation to persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The book is a complete reference for practitioners and students, covering a range of topics, ranging from new analytical techniques, to regulatory and legal status in the global community. Through case studies from leading international experts and real-world issues, including the allocation of responsibility for release into the environment, the book introduces and assesses the development of new techniques and technologies. Newly emerging and classic POPs in environmental media are covered, including atmospheric, marine, freshwater, and urban environments.
Specific sections cover perfluoroalkyl substances, brominated flame retardants, organochlorine pesticides, perfluorinated chemicals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and polychlorinated biphenyls. This second edition has been thoroughly updated to include the latest developments in the field and advances in the literature, and new chapters have expanded the scope of the book to include statistical analysis and future perspectives.
Researchers, practitioners, and students of analytical chemistry and environmental science, as well as government workers and consultants studying the regulatory and legal issues of environmental liability

Dr. Sandau’s experience includes working at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). At CDC, Dr. Sandau managed a laboratory responsible for the analytical toxicology and exposure assessment of humans to environmental contaminants. He has been involved in numerous epidemiological studies (including recruiting public participation) examining the impact of chemical contaminants on cancer, endocrine function, brain development, and other measures of health impacts. Previously, Dr. Sandau worked at the National Wildlife Research Center measuring contaminants in environmental and wildlife samples with the purpose of examining the biomagnification, biotransformation, and toxicological effects of priority pollutants in the arctic and Great Lakes food webs.
Dr. Sandau is currently the sole proprietor of Chemistry Matters and is an Adjunct Professor in the Engineering Department at the University of Calgary where he lectures on the subject of environmental forensics.
