Soil and Water Contamination: From Molecular to Catchment Scale (repost)

Soil and Water Contamination: From Molecular to Catchment Scale by Marcel van der Perk
English | 2006-08-03 | ISBN: 0415409438 | 402 pages | PDF | 5,8 mb

This textbook provides an overview of transport and fate processes of environmental contamination, in such a way that the reader can both understand and predict contaminant patterns in soil, groundwater, and surface water.

In contract to most existing texts, soil and water pollution are treated as integrated environmental matter from a geographical/spatial perspective at point, local, regional, and catchment scales. The spatial approach links up with recent developments and trends in environmental legislation and other integrated catchment management initiatives.

It consists of four coherent parts:
1. Introduction to soil and water contamination;
2. Source, role, and behavior of substances in soil and water;
3. Transport and fate processes of substances in soil and water;
4. Patterns of substances in soil and water.

Intended for undergraduate and graduate students in Earth and Environmental Sciences, who understand the fundamentals of chemistry, hydrology and soil science; may also serve as a useful reference for professionals.
