International experts have contributed key chapters to this major
work on groundwater contamination. Section 1: Methodology and
Modeling deals with both organic and inorganic contaminants,
including those from agricultural operations. Section 2: Case
Studies presents contamination scenarios with both inorganic and
organic chemicals including agriculturally-related constituents,
such as the nitrates. This important new publication is a welcome
addition to the literature and will enhance recent information on
methodology, modeling and real-world situations. It is of interest
to scientists and planners in local and national government;
environmental chemists, geochemists, geologists, and health and
safety officers; river authorities; hydrologists; and the mining
and land reclamation industries.
Biogeochemistry of Trace Metals is a compendium of the most recent
information available on the effects of trace metals in soil
quality and its potential threat on the transfer of these
contaminants to consumers. Most of the chapters in the book were
presented as papers during the First International Conference on
the Biogeochemistry of Trace Elements (formerly Metals in Soils,
Plants, Waters, and Animals) held in Orlando, Florida in May, 1990.
Topics discussed include background levels of metals in soils
and/or plants (covering western Europe; temperate, humid Europe;
and the People's Republic of China); metal cycling and transfer in
the food chain in agroecosystems; uptake and accumulation of metals
by bacteria, fungi, and invertebrates; mechanistic aspects of
metals; the microbial aspects of soil selenium losses; and
manganese sorption on soil constituents.

A comprehensive reference handbook on the important aspects of trace elements in the land environment. Each chapter addresses a particular element and gives a general introduction to their role in the environment, where they come from, and their biogeochemical cycles. In addition to a complete updating of each of the element chapters, this new edition has new chapters devoted to aluminum and iron, soil contamination, remediation and trace elements in aquatic ecosystems. In short, an essential resource for environmental scientists and chemists, regulators and policy makers.
