Information
Part
I
An
introduction
to
soil
and
water
contamination
The
improvements
in
the
socioeconomic
status
of
many
people
have
come
about
thanks
to
expansion
of
agricultural
and
industrial
production.
Some
of
the
activities
associated
with
the
expansion,
however,
have
adversely
affected
soil
and
water
quality,
impacting
on
people’s
health
and
quality
of
life
and
on
the
environment.
This
book
sets
out
to
explain
the
physical,
chemical,
and
biological
processes
that
govern
the
environmental
fate
of
pollutants
at
landscape
scale,
i.e.
at
a
scale
ranging
from
several
tens
of
metres
to
hundreds
of
kilometres.
We
need
this
knowledge
to
be
able
to
develop
appropriate
solutions
for
a
broad
range
of
environmental
problems.
