Overview
Chemicals in the Environment: Fate, Impacts, and Remediation is devoted to the broad review of metals and organic compounds in the environment. The volume focuses on three main aspects of chemicals in the environment: 1) fate and transport in soil, sediment, water and air; 2) resulting environmental impacts in the environment, wildlife, and humans, and 3) remediation methodologies and applications. An introductory chapter examines the history of metals and organic chemicals in the environment, exposure to these chemicals through food, air and water, identification of chemical hazards, process and scope of ecological impairment, fate and transport modeling, impacts and monitoring, and remediation methods.

Reviews
<br> Based on an August 2000 symposium that highlighted EPA research, this collection overviews progress made in understanding the movement of chemicals in soil and water, monitoring environmental impacts, and developing remediation methods. The 27 papers explore chemical fate and transport models, the use of molecular biology methods for measuring ecological indicators, and groundwater and soil remediation using electrical fields. Other topics include atmospheric sources of trace metals, speciation and chemical reactions of phosphonate chelating agents in aqueous media, analysis of sediment PAH contamination, and the mechanisms controlling chlorocarbon reduction at iron surfaces. --SciTech Book News<br>
