Trace Substances, Environment and Health

Edited by C. Richard Cothern, US Environmental Protection Agency

Published May 1995         350+iv pages        ISBN 0-905927-54-0

There is a resurgence of interest in environmental geochemistry and health. This volume of peer reviewed papers reflects the work of experts in domains ranging from the risks of PCB contamination, the role of inorganic elements, analytical aspects and remediation, together with modeling and implications for agriculture and the urban environment.

Of interest to: geochemists, epidemiologists, environmental safety officers, environmental consultants and assessors, environmental and analytical chemists, planners in local and national government
