Soil and Water Pollution Monitoring, Protection and Remediation (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Twardowska, Irena; Häggblom, Max M.; Allen, Herbert E.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book details the state-of-the art in early warning monitoring of anthropogenic pollution of soil and water. It is unique with regard to its complex, multidisciplinary, mechanistic approach. Top scientists establish links and strengthen weak connections between specific fields in biology, microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry, toxicology, sensoristics, soil science and hydrogeology.
