About This Book

Soil and Water Contamination, Second Edition gives a structured overview of transport and fate processes of environmental contaminants. Providing a structured overview of transport and fate processes of environmental contaminants, this textbook approaches the environmental issues of soil and water contamination from a spatial and earth science point of view. The new edition contains new material on pesticides and pharmaceutical contaminants and a greater number of exercises, case studies, and examples. It covers topics essential to understanding and predicting contaminant patterns in soil, groundwater, and surface water and contributes to the formation of a solid basis for adequate management and control of soil and water pollution and integrated catchment.

Part 
I
An 
introduction 
to 
soil 
and 
water 
contamination
The 
improvements 
in 
the 
socioeconomic 
status 
of 
many 
people 
have 
come 
about 
thanks 
to 
expansion 
of 
agricultural 
and 
industrial 
production. 
Some 
of 
the 
activities 
associated 
with 
the 
expansion, 
however, 
have 
adversely 
affected 
soil 
and 
water 
quality, 
impacting 
on 
people’s 
health 
and 
quality 
of 
life 
and 
on 
the 
environment. 
This 
book 
sets 
out 
to 
explain 
the 
physical, 
chemical, 
and 
biological 
processes 
that 
govern 
the 
environmental 
fate 
of 
pollutants 
at 
landscape 
scale, 
i.e. 
at 
a 
scale 
ranging 
from 
several 
tens 
of 
metres 
to 
hundreds 
of 
kilometres. 
We 
need 
this 
knowledge 
to 
be 
able 
to 
develop 
appropriate 
solutions 
for 
a 
broad 
range 
of 
environmental 
problems.
