Environmental Monitoring and Characterization is an integrated, hands-on resource for monitoring all aspects
of the environment. Sample collection methods and relevant physical, chemical and biological processes necessary
to characterize the environment are brought together in twenty chapters which cover: sample collection methods,
monitoring terrestrial, aquatic and air environments, and relevant chemical, physical and biological processes
and contaminants.
This book will serve as an authoritative reference for advanced students and environmental professionals.
Examines the integration of physical, chemical, and biological processes
Features & Benefits
