Die Umweltforensik ist ein relativ junges Forschungsgebiet. Entwickelt werden Untersuchungsmethoden zur Aufklärung von Fällen verschiedenster Arten von Umweltkontaminationen. Jetzt endlich gibt es ein Buch, das sich ausschließlich diesem Gebiet widmet. Ein interdisziplinäres Team aus Bauingenieuren, Umwelttechnikern, Geologen, Hydrologen, Toxikologen und Juristen beantwortet ausführlich technische und rechtliche Fragen. Ausgesprochen praxisorientiert!
