Arsenic in Soil and Groundwater Environment - Biogeochemical Interactions, Health Effects and Remediation

Klappentext The 7th ICOBTE is dedicated to examining contemporary and emerging research in the biogeochemistry of trace elements. Biogeochemistry has developed into an interdisciplinary science! linking phenomena observed in the biosphere to physical and chemical reactions in the pedo- and lithosphere. The conference provides a forum for professionals! regulators! and students to present their most recent findings and to discuss with colleagues from around the world state-of-the-art methodology! analytical techniques! and process development. Volumes in the "Trace Metals and Other Contaminants in the Environment" series deal with the identification! assessment and management of human and ecological risks associated with natural and human-derived contaminants in the environment. They are aimed at filling a need for a continuous forum to provide the reader with a timely compendium of facts on chemical contaminants and their potential implications for sustainable development. The series offers critical evaluations and creative reviews of the global literature on all aspects of trace metals and other contaminants in the environment! including their natural and anthropogenic sources! their distribution! behavior and fate in air! soil! and water as well as their effects on human and ecosystem health. Zusammenfassung Presents the developments in the field of arsenic in soil and groundwater. Arranged into nine sections! this text emphasizes the global occurrences of arsenic in the environment! particularly on its source! pathways! behavior! and effects it has on soils! plants! water! animals! and humans.
