Persistent Organic Pollutants in the Great Lakes
Author: Ronald A. HitesPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540291688
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
Pollution threatens the Laurentian Great Lakes and is a serious problem. This book examines what is known about the major classes of persistent toxic organic pollutants. Agricultural runoff, urban waste, industrial discharge, landfill leachate, and atmospheric deposition, are all to blame. Contamination of the various ecosystems is reviewed, and what is known about the effects of this pollution. This volume provides an invaluable resource for those in environmental research, measurements, and decision making concerning the Great Lakes.

Determination of Organic Compounds in Soils, Sediments and Sludges
Author: T R CromptonPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1439881634
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 518
Book Description
The first volume to comprehensively discuss the range of methods available for the analysis of organic compounds in soils, river and marine sediments and industrial sludges. It commences with a review of the instrumentation used in soil and sediment laboratories and indicates the types of organics that can be determined by each technique. Subsequent chapters discuss the analysis of various types of organics in a logical and systematic manner. It provides guidance on the applicability of techniques in certain environments, the advantages and disadvantages of using one method over another, likely interference, the sensitivity of particular techniques, and detection limits.
