内容简介

"Environmental Forensic Investigation" offers a scientific review of this emerging field, which seeks to answer questions about environmental contamination. This book outlines various techniques for identifying the source of a contaminant release, when the release occurred, and the extent of human exposure. It covers chemical "fingerprinting" techniques applicable to ground water, soils, sediments, and air, with an in-depth look at petroleum hydrocarbons. It describes scientific analyses available to answer questions of environmental liability and support a legal argument. It also includes examples and case studies, serving as a complete toolbox for conducting forensic investigations.
