However, at elevated levels, all trace elements become potentially toxic. Anthropogenic input of trace elements into the natural environment therefore poses a range of ecological and health problems.  \u003cp\u003eAs a result of their persistence and potential toxicity, trace elements continue to receive widespread scientific and legislative attention. \u003ci\u003eTrace Elements in Soils\u003c\/i\u003e reviews the latest research in the field, providing a comprehensive overview of the chemistry, analysis, fate and regulation of trace elements in soils, as well as remediation strategies for contaminated soil.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into four sections:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBasic principles, processes, sampling and analytical aspects:\u003c\/b\u003e presents an overview including general soil chemistry, soil sampling, analysis, fractionation and speciation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLong-term issues, impacts and predictive modelling:\u003c\/b\u003e reviews major sources of metal inputs, the impact on soil ecology, trace element deficient soils and chemical speciation modelling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBioavailability, risk assessment and remediation:\u003c\/b\u003e discusses bioavailability, regulatory limits and cleanup technology for contaminated soils including phytoremediation and trace element immobilization.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e• \u003cb\u003eCharacteristics and behaviour of individual elements\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten as an authoritative guide for scientists working in soil science, geochemistry, environmental science and analytical chemistry, the book is also a valuable resource for professionals involved in land management, environmental planning, protection and regulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e Peter Hooda is Reader in Environmental Soil Science at Kingston University London, UK\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01 June 2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-Blackwell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781405160377\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e616\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40.48\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44315223883916,"sku":"9781405160377","price":219.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781405160377_1df4089e-dc22-4442-830d-53a7b8f26a57.jpg?v=1780100902","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781405160377","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
