CRC Press Metals in Groundwater - Environmental Science Book

Metals in Groundwater by CRC Press provides a detailed look at how metal contamination impacts our water resources. This text explores how human activities, such as mining, agriculture, and the disposal of municipal waste or fly ash, contribute to the presence of metals in groundwater systems. Readers will gain a technical understanding of how metals transport from various sources into groundwater. The book covers essential topics including the risk assessment of metals, the coupling of chemical and hydrological models, and the way metals undergo sorption onto soils and clays. Additionally, it provides a deep examination of metal speciation. This resource is designed for a wide range of professionals. It serves as a valuable reference for researchers in environmental quality, mining, and agriculture. It is also an ideal tool for industry professionals, consultants, and regulatory personnel working to manage and understand groundwater contamination.
