\u003cp\u003eWhile existing approaches to monitoring environmental contaminants tend to focus on a small suite of contaminant types and often involve monitoring at fixed points and at fixed times, \u003ci\u003eMonitoring Environmental Contaminants\u003c/i\u003e focuses on a wide range of new technologies and approaches available for monitoring chemical and biological contaminants in air, water, soil and food. These new methods allow the ability to monitor a wider range of contaminants at much greater and temporal resolutions. Adoption of these methods could result in a change in our understanding of how humans and ecosystems are exposed to contaminants in different environmental media.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume in the Environmental Contaminants Series provides an overview of a wide range of monitoring approaches ranging from citizen science networks to the use of robotics and sensor networks. \u003ci\u003eMonitoring Environmental Contaminants\u003c/i\u003e describes challenges in the adoption of some of these new approaches and methods for dealing with these challenges such as the use of mining techniques for large data. The case studies within will provide a thorough illustration for researchers, academics, and scientists involved in ecology and environmental sciences.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBrings together chapters from a wide range of research in ecology and the environmental sciences\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eUtilizes an easily understandable style that can be absorbed by a wide audience\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eUses case studies to illuminate the application of selected novel contamination monitoring approaches\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e |
