• Sommario/riassunto: This book presents aspects of environmental forensics in relation to "real-world" oil spill case studies and addresses releases of crude oil, natural gas/methane, automotive gasoline and other petroleum fuels, lubricants, vegetable oils, paraffin waxes, bitumen, manufactured gas plant residues, and urban runoff, and the challenges and long-term effects each brings. Also includes new analytical and chemical data processing and interpretation methods.
