Soil and Water Contamination, Second Edition gives a structured
overview of transport and fate processes of environmental
contaminants. Dealing with all topics essential for understanding
and predicting contaminant patterns in soil, groundwater and
surface water, it contributes to the formation of a solid basis for
adequate soil and water pollution control and integrated catchment
management. A unique feature of this work is that it does not treat
water and soil pollution as independent processes, but as
components of an integrated whole. The core of this geoscientific
approach is divided into four parts: Introduction to the basics of
soil and water contamination, such as the fundamentals of
environmental pollution and chemistry and the basic properties of
soil, groundwater and surface water. Source, role, and behaviour of
substances in soil and water, treating natural and anthropogenic
sources of nutrients, heavy metals, radionuclides and organic
pollutants as well as emerging substances of concern, their
physico-chemical characteristics, behaviour, and toxicity.
Transport and fate of substances in soil and water, focusing on
processes of transport, exchange and transformations like
advection, dispersion, adsorption kinetics and biochemical decay.
Special attention is paid to the mathematical description and
modelling of these processes. Patterns of substances in soil and
water, explaining spatial and temporal patterns of pollutants in
soil, groundwater, and surface water, illustrated by recent case
studies from fundamental and applied research. This comprehensive,
successful textbook, now in its second edition, has been
conscientiously updated and extended and includes many case
studies, examples and exercises sections, providing undergraduate
and graduate students in the Earth and Environmental Sciences with
all the material necessary for the study of soil and water
contamination. In addition, it can serve as a useful source of info
