Soil Pollution: Origin, Monitoring & Remediation

This graduate-level text and reference work is unique among the soil literature, dealing as it does with the interdisciplinary fields of soil pollution and remediation. It starts off with a thorough and comprehensible introduction to the relevant fundamentals of mineralogy, chemistry, and soil properties. Readers are thus well prepared to understand the biochemical aspects of soil remediation then presented. Mathematical modeling and soil monitoring are covered in a way that enables readers from various disciplines to acquire enough scientific literacy to facilitate further research. The book's holistic approach and narrative style are complemented by numerous and detailed illustrations. Soil Pollution is an asset not only to graduate students and instructors, but also to professionals from the environmental and agricultural sciences, as it provides an integrated overview of previously separately treated material.
