"Soil Contamination: Threats and Sustainable Solutions" ed. by Marcelo L. Larramendy, Sonia Soloneski

This volume is intended to provide an update on different aspects of soil contamination exerted by a multiplicity of exogenous and endogenous causes.

This book will continue to increase information from diverse sources and to give some real-life examples, extending the appreciation of the complexity of this subject in a way that may stimulate new approaches in relevant fields.
