Emergent Environmental Pollution
About the Book Series
The nature of pollutants in the environment depends largely on their interactions in the soil, water, air, and organisms. Understanding the fate and transport of pollutants in the environment is essential for humans and animals, plants, water bodies, air, soils, and sediments. This series provides timely information on the biological, chemical, and physical processes governing the interactions of pollutants in the environment. Such knowledge is needed for minimizing the negative impact of pollutants on human health and the health of ecosystems. Books from this series are of value to professionals and researchers, students, industrial and mining engineers, government regulators, authorities, and consultants in the environmental arena.
