The third edition of Introduction to Environmental Forensics is a state-of-the-art reference for the practicing environmental forensics consultant, regulator, student, academic, and scientist, with topics including compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA), advanced multivariate statistical techniques, surrogate approaches for contaminant source identification and age dating, dendroecology, hydrofracking, releases from underground storage tanks and piping, and contaminant-transport modeling for forensic applications. Recognized international forensic scientists were selected to author chapters in their specific areas of expertise and case studies are included to illustrate the application of these methods in actual environmental forensic investigations. This edition provides updates on advances in various techniques and introduces several new topics. Provides a comprehensive review of all aspects of environmental forensics Coverage ranges from emerging statistical methods to state-of-the-art analytical techniques, such as gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry and polytopic vector analysis Numerous examples and case studies are provided to illustrate the application of these forensic techniques in environmental investigations Content: Front Matter, Page iii Copyright, Page iv About the Editors, Pages xi-xii About the Authors, Pages xiii-xxvi Introduction to the Third Edition, Pages xxvii-xxviii, Brian L.

Environmental forensics deals with questions such as: Whose hazardous waste is it? When was it placed in its present location? How did it happen? How much have people and the environment been exposed? How should liabilaty be allocated? The third edition of INTRODUCTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL FORENSICS will provide the most current coverage of issues and techniques crucial to forensic investigations of environmental disasters. It will show the evolution of the field, including topics such as chemical fingerprinting of hydrocarbons and PCBs, forensic air dispersion modeling analysis, and soil and groundwater modeling. Written by an international group of scientific specialists in order to cover this broad and important field most fully, the new volume will rely on reader feedback to focus on the most important areas for environmental professionals. INTRODUCTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL FORENSICS, third edition will be of interest to consultants, regulators, attorneys, or others whose practice involves identifying sources of pollution and allocating responsibility among multiple parties.

• Provides a comprehensive review of all aspects of environmental forensics
• Coverage ranges from emerging statistical methods to state-of-the-art analytical techniques, such as gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry and polytopic vector analysis
• Numerous examples and case studies are provided to illustrate the application of these forensic techniques in environmental investigations
