Over the past several years, this study has been expanding as a course of study in academia, government and commercial markets. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are among the governmental agencies that utilize the study of environmental forensics to ensure national security and to ensure that companies are complying with standards. Even the International Network for Environmental Compliance and Enforcement (INECE), a group supported by the European Commission and the World Bank, utilizes the study of environmental forensics as it applies to terror threats. This title is a hands-on guide for environmental scientists, engineers, consultants and industrial scientists to identify the origin and age of a contaminant in the environment and the issues involved in the process. An expansion of the authors first title with Academic Press, Introduction to Environmental Forensics, this is a state-of-the-art reference for those exploring the scientific techniques available. * Up-to-date compendium for referencing forensic techniques unique to particular contaminants. * International scientific unit system * Contributors from around the world providing international examples and case studies. 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions. 650 0$aEnvironmental forensics 650 0$aPollutants$xAnalysis 650 12$aEnvironmental Pollutants 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 700 1 $aMorrison, Robert D. 700 1 $aMurphy, Brian,$d1939- 776 1 $cOriginal$z0125077513$z9780125077514$w(DLC) 2005036765$w(OCoLC)62762202 856 40$3Referex$uhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780125077514$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information 856 42$zPublisher description$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0634/2005036765-d.html 856 41$zTable of contents only$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip065/2005036765.html 907 $a.b13649966$b03-03-22$c24-01-08 912 $a991003215219707536 996 $aEnvironmental forensics$91213452 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale026$b24-01-08$cm$d@ $e-$feng$gne $h0$i0
