Overview

Combining earth science, subsurface hydrology and environmental geochemistry, this book provides a comprehensive background for those interested in the protection and sustainable management of the subsurface environment. The reader is introduced to the chemistry of contaminants, which usually disturb the natural equilibrium in the subsurface as a result of human activity. One focus of the book is on contaminant reactions in soil solutions. Discussions on case studies are provided.

Reviews

From the reviews: Contaminant geochemistry is the collection of physical and chemical processes that determine the behavior of contaminants beneath Earth's surface. ! The book by Berkowitz and co-authors ! focuses almost exclusively on the geochemistry of organic contaminants. It discusses both water-saturated and variably saturated systems. Its level is appropriate for scientists familiar with general aqueous geochemistry ! and those interested particularly in the geochemistry of organic contaminants. The book is structured in a clear and coherent manner. (Ian C. Bourg, Vadose Zone Journal, Vol. 9, 2010)
