Product Description
Product Description
"Introduction to Environmental Forensics" helps readers unravel the complexities of environmental pollution cases. It outlines techniques for identifying the source of a contaminant release, when the release occurred, and the extent of human exposure. Written by leading experts in environmental investigations, the text provides detailed information on chemical 'fingerprinting' techniques applicable to ground water, soils, sediments, and air, plus an in-depth look at petroleum hydrocarbons. It gives the environmental scientist, engineer, and legal specialist a complete toolbox for conducting forensic investigations. It demonstrates the range of scientific analyses that are available to answer questions of environmental liability and support a legal argument, and provides several examples and case studies to illustrate how these methods are applied. This is a textbook that would prove useful to a range of disciplines, including environmental scientists involved in water and air pollution, contaminated land and geographical information systems; and archaeologists, hydrochemists and geochemists interested in dating sources of pollution. This title is co-edited by one of the experts from the Civil Action case in Woburn, MA. It provides essential information about identifying environmental contaminants responsible for millions of deaths per year. It contains the latest information and coverage of issues crucial to both forensics investigators and environmental scientists.

INTRODUCTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL FORENSICS: an opinion
27 Aug 2008
Format:Hardcover
A nice work encompassing :
- methods for environmental forensics,
- examples for practical cases (CERCLA allocations).
That work describes techniques and methods using various scientific disciplines.
Measurement is tackled as a subject by itself.
Dose effect relationship are also properly explained through various methods and circumstances.
A useful reading for environmental practitioners beyond environmental forensic community.
