Environmental
Forensics provides a forum for scientific
investigations that address environmental contamination which is subject to law
court, arbitration, public debate, or formal argumentation and is subject to the
basic science that serves as underpinnings to those activities. Journal subject
matter encompasses all aspects of contamination within the environmental media
of air, water, soil and biota.
The journal is an international,
quarterly, peer-reviewed publication offering scientific studies that explore
source, fate, transport, and human health and ecological effects of
environmental contamination. Contamination is delineated in terms of chemical
characterization, biological influence, responsible parties and legal
consequences. Manuscripts dealing with a wide range of environmental issues and
how they relate to the characterization and tracking of contamination will be
accepted. Journal focus is on scientific and technical information, data, and
critical analysis in the following areas;
-
Analytical
Chemistry ,
including analytical techniques that provide definitive,
quality results for analyses that are conducted to
answer litigious environmental contamination questions-
Geochemistry,
including chemistry and physics of soil, water and air
with respect to potential interactions with
contamination-
Atmospheric
Chemistry ,
including occurrence, alteration, fate, transport and
modeling of chemicals in the atmosphere-
Microbiology ,
including all aspects of microbe-related
transformation and alteration of contamination
constituents-
Environmental
Fate Assessment ,
including partitioning and transformation of
contaminant components between and within
environmental media-
Environmental
Transport Assessment ,
including geologic, hydrogeologic, oceanographic and
meteorologic controls on the migration or movement of
contamination-
Integrated
Case Studies ,
employing environmental fate techniques described
herein-
Legal
Considerations ,
including strategic considerations for environmental
fate in litigation and arbitration, and regulatory
statutes and actions
