It offers new insights on the use of environmental monitoring and includes discussion on waste treatment, ecotoxicological issues, and risk assessment.
Readership: Analytical and environmental chemists, toxicologists, hydrologists, medical scientists, sanitary engineers, risk assessors, and policy makers.
