This is the third volume of the five-volume book series
"Engineering Tools for Environmental Risk Management". The book
series deals with the following topics: * Environmental
deterioration and pollution, management of environmental problems *
Environmental toxicology - a tool for managing chemical substances
and contaminated environment * Assessment and monitoring tools,
risk assessment * Risk reduction measures and technologies * Case
studies for demonstration of the application of engineering tools
The authors aim to describe interactions and options in risk
management by providing a broad scientific overview of the
environment, its human uses and the associated local, regional and
global environmental problems; interpreting the holistic approach
used in solving environmental protection issues; striking a balance
between nature's needs and engineering capabilities; understanding
interactions between regulation, management and engineering;
obtaining information about novel technologies and innovative
engineering tools. This third volume provides an overview on the
basic principles, concepts, practices and tools of environmental
monitoring and contaminated site assessment. The volume focuses on
those engineering tools that enable integrated site assessment and
decision making and ensure an efficient control of the environment.
Some topics supporting sustainable land use and efficient
environmental management are listed below: * Efficient management
and regulation of contaminated land and the environment; * Early
warning and environmental monitoring; * Assessment of contaminated
land: the best practices; * Environmental sampling; * Risk
characterization and contaminated matrix assessment; * Integrated
application of physical, chemical, biological, ecological and (eco)
toxicological characterization methods; * Direct toxicity
assessment (DTA) and decision making; * Online analyzers,
electrodes and biosensors for assessment and monitoring of waters.;
* In situ and real-time measurement tools for soil and contaminated
sites; * Rapid on-site methods and contaminant and toxicity
assessment kits; * Engineering tools from omics technologies,
microsensors to heavy machinery; * Dynamic characterization of
subsurface soil and groundwater using membrane interface probes,
optical and X-ray fl uorescence and ELCAD wastewater
characterization; * Geochemical modeling: methods and applications;
* Environmental assessment using cyclodextrins. This book series
focuses on the state of knowledge about the environment and its
conscious and structured application in environmental engineering,
management and decision making.
