Polymers have undoubtedly changed the world through many products that improve our lives. However, additives used to modify the overall characteristics of these materials may not be fully disclosed or understood. These additives may present possible environmental and health hazards. It is important to monitor consumer products for these compounds using high-quality reference materials and dependable analytical techniques.

A reference for students, researchers, and environmental professionals, Hydrogeological Conceptual Site Models: Data Analysis and Visualization covers conceptual site model development, spatial data analysis, and visual data presentation for hydrogeology and groundwater remediation. Written by expert practitioners, this full-color book demonstrates how fundamental hydrogeological concepts are translated into quantitative, high-resolution graphics. The authors explain analytical methods such as kriging, geospatial processing with GIS, and groundwater modeling through practical real-life examples. Data-rich case studies in groundwater remediation and water resources illustrate the controversial connections between conceptual site models and environmental policy. This visually powerful text contains over 500 illustrations and includes a companion DVD with animations, references, modeling software, and more.
