Organic Contaminants is a single reference covering common organic contaminants in detail, including their distribution in the environment, challenges linked to management, geogenic sources, anthropogenic sources, exposure and effects, international agreements and legislation relating to the contaminant, remediation options, and global case studies. This clear, consistent organization makes it a valuable resource for researchers, students, and practitioners working in environmental science, environmental management, and environmental engineering alike. One of the major constraints to assessing and remediating contaminated sites is the lack of awareness of the extent and severity of contaminated sites amongst the community, regulators, policymakers, industry operators, university graduates and environmental managers.
