Soil Monitoring - Early Detection and Surveying of Soil Contamination and Degradation

Soil pollution is posing increasing hazards to environmental quality, human health, and economic welfare. As a prerequisite for effective protection and remediation measures, the identification and monitoring of soil pollution has become increasingly important. This book focuses on soil contaminants that threaten the long-term soil fertility and related functions of the soil on a regional scale. The pollutants of most concern were the heavy metals and pedosphere. The book assesses the current knowledge and problems being tackled to protect the soil and emphasizes the use of mass balances in soil monitoring.
