Monitoring Environmental Contaminants, the latest release in the Environmental Contaminants series, focuses on the wide range of new technologies and approaches available for monitoring chemical and biological contaminants in air, water, soil and food. These new methods allow us to monitor a wider range of contaminants at much greater and temporal resolutions. Adoption of these methods could result in a change in our understanding of how humans and ecosystems are exposed to contaminants in different environmental media. In addition, the book describes challenges in the adoption of some of these new approaches, such as the use of mining techniques for large data.

Case studies within provide thorough illustration for researchers, academics and scientists involved in ecology and environmental sciences.

• Brings together chapters from a wide range of research in ecology and the environmental sciences
• Utilizes an easily understandable style that can be absorbed by a wide audience
• Uses case studies to illuminate the application of selected novel contamination monitoring approaches

Researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, and environmental and civil engineers who have an interest in the impacts of chemical contaminants on the environment
