Review

From the reviews: ‘’… this is a very useful book which gives an excellent position statement on the application of the techniques and of their limitations in environmental forensics. A required purchase, I am sure, for all institutional libraries where these sorts of activities take place.

There are particularly fine chapters on stable isotopes, the perchlorate and chlorinated solvent problems and a good concluding chapter entitled Groundwater pollution: the emerging role of environmental forensics…’’ (Paul Kneller, Chemistry World. 2009. 6(2), p.p.63-64)
