Despite having been published about two years ago for the first
time, the continuous demand for this book encouraged me to prepare
this revised and enlarged edition. Many parts of the text have been
rewritten, type errors traced and corrected, and the bibliography
largely modified to include many of the references published about
the subject of soil pollution in the previous ten years. I should
like to express my thanks to the staff of Springer-Verlag,
Heidelberg, for their cooperative efforts in preparing this
edition. I also would like to thank Mr. Michael Sidwell (B.A.) for
the extreme but characteristic care with which he read and revised
the proofs. I hope that, in this new edition, the book may continue
to serve the needs of students and professionals alike interested
in the subject of soil pollution. Ibrahim A. Mirsal Preface to the
First Edition Whoever has enjoyed following the legendary duel
between the Egyptian Pharaoh and his magicians (Alchemists) on one
side, and Moses and his brother Aaron on the other, as is vividly
narrated in the Bible, must have realised that people (at least
those living at, or near the eternal battlefields of the Middle
East) have always had knowledge about the terrible consequences of
soil pollution by chemicals. This knowledge must have existed long
before Moses and his Pharaoh. Nobody knows when people became aware
of this, yet it must have been born in very early times, reaching
back to the dawn of human conscious.
