Heavy metals in soils continue to receive increasing attention due
to the greater understanding of their toxicological importance in
ecosystems, agriculture and human health, the growing scientific
and public awareness of environmental issues and the development of
even more sensitive analytical techniques to measure their
concentrations accurately. Building on the success and acclaim of
the first edition, this book has been thoroughly revised and
updated and continues to provide a balanced and comprehensive
review of the subject in two sections: the first providing an
introduction to the metals' chemistry, sources and methods used for
their analysis; and the second containing chapters dealing with
individual elements in detail. This volume is for soil scientists,
research chemists, geochemists, agronomists, environmental
scientists and professionals who deal with contaminated land. BJ.
