This book combines soil science, earth science, and environmental
geochemistry, providing comprehensive background information for
specialists interested in chemical-induced changes in the
soil-subsurface system. Readers are introduced to the chemistry of
contaminants that often disturb the natural soil-subsurface
equilibrium as a result of human activity. While the
soil-subsurface system has in many cases been affected by human
impact, the effects of chemical contaminants on the actual matrix
and properties have been largely neglected. The major focus of the
book is on changes to the soil-subsurface matrix and properties
caused by chemical pollution. By integrating results available in
the literature, we observe that chemical pollutants may lead to the
irreversible formation of a new soil-subsurface regime
characterized by a matrix and properties different than those of
the natural regime. In contrast to the geological time scales
dictating natural changes to the matrix and properties of the
soil-subsurface system, the time scale associated with chemical
pollutant-induced changes is far shorter and extends over a "human
lifetime scale." The numerous examples presented in the book
confirm that chemical contamination should be considered as an
additional factor in the formation of a contemporary
soil-subsurface regime that is different than that of the pristine
system.
