Organic Pollutants in the Geosphere

Focuses on anthropogenic organic pollutants that harm the environment Looks at the fate and assessment of organic pollutants in the geosphere

Includes topics such as the anthropogenic marker approach, POPs, petrogenic contaminations

Addressed to undergraduate students who otherwise miss out on the subject organic geochemistry
