Environmental Testing

Performing environmental testing

Here are three environmental testing books:

The first is about testing methods, covering environmental testing of soil, air, and water.

The second discusses environmental remediation, plus using environmental testing methods to verify the remediation effort's results.

The third reviews how environmental testing limits are developed, largely through possibly flawed animal testing.

Environmental Testing : Environmental Field Testing and Analysis Ready Reference Handbook

Environmental Field Testing and Analysis Ready Reference Handbook

If you need to perform environmental testing to determine if a hazardous chemical is present in water, soil or air, and further to accurately determine its concentration, this book should be invaluable. The "Environmental Field Testing and Analysis Ready Reference Handbook" shows you how to get accurate results using today's most-accepted methods. It will also help those who monitor such work to understand in as much depth as necessary the work being done and to analyze the reports that result from such work.

Environmental Testing : Innovative Subsurface Remediation: Field Testing of Physical, Chemical, and Characterization Technologies

Innovative Subsurface Remediation: Field Testing of Physical, Chemical, and Characterization Technologies

This book consists of 19 papers that report the results of field environmental testing of various new remediation methods. The emphasis is on groundwater contamination.

The texts deal in depth with modeling; surfactants, solubilization and mobilization; multiple solvents; dealing with aqueous and non-aqueous phases; aeration; inmiscible liquids; using tracer fluids; and much more. The post-remediation environmental testing results presented give a good indication of the effectiveness of various methods, related to the relevant initial contamination levels.

Environmental testing -- Lethal Laws: Animal Testing, Human Health, and Environmental Policy

Lethal Laws: Animal Testing, Human Health, and Environmental Policy

This book discusses how the contamination limits that are used in environmental testing are developed from animal models.

The author, who is against both environmental damage and animal testing, discusses the flaws in the current methods of setting the environmental testing limits that are applied today. Her position is that using animal testing for setting environmental testing limits is both inhumane and scientifically invalid as well.
