Environmental Forensics

Presenting techniques valuable to both attorneys and environmental scientists, Environmental Forensics: Principles and Applications contains the most comprehensive information on environmental forensic techniques available in one publication. It describes the strengths and weaknesses of each forensic technique to assist the readers in discriminating between legitimate and "junk" science and demonstrates how to scientifically challenge an inappropriately selected method. It provides case studies of environmental trial exhibits, pinpointing misused techniques that often bias the scientific validity of trial exhibits.
