Recently, rapid and non-destructive magnetic measurements have been
increasingly used as a proxy method for the assessment of heavy
metal pollution in urban areas. Environmental magnetism involves
the application of rock and mineral magnetic techniques to
situations in which the transport, deposition, or transformation of
magnetic grains is influenced by environmental processes in the
atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. Magnetic measurements of
pollutants provides highly efficient, rapid and inexpensive tool
for monitoring and assessment of pollutants in different spheres.
The magnetic technique in conjunction with
microscopic-sub-microscopic observations and magnetic analysis of
urban roadside dust, aerosols and particulate matters can be used
as a powerful tool for assessment of pollution features in an urban
to semi-urban area in terms of source and spatial distribution of
anthropogenic magnetic materials and associated heavy metals. With
all these inputs, this book will scale new height of popularity in
the academic community. I hope this book will be helpful to the
students of MS, MSc, MTech, earth and environmental scientists,
engineers and researchers worldwide.
