In order to assess the
magnitude of contamination to wetland or coastal areas you
need to establish background concentrations for the
chemicals in question. Natural Chemicals in sediments is a
comprehensive reference text that provides regional
background data for "naturally" occurring organic
and inorganic chemicals in sediments.
An invaluable reference tool
for hydrogeologists, geologists, civil engineers,
environmental scientists, toxicologists and biologists who
must identify and determine the significance of chemicals
analysis of sediments. This book will be useful in the
preparation of environmental impact assessments, toxicity
studies, bioassays, risk assessments, and remediation plans.
It is the primary purpose of
this book to present background data to aid in the
assessment of contamination of sediments. The sediments that
are discussed in this book refer to the loose,
unconsolidated layers of sediment transported and deposited
by water.
This book is designed to be
an easy-to-read quick reference book. This book introduces
and discusses basic principles of sedimentology.
