A Practical Guide to Environmental Crime Scene Investigations
Releasing contaminants into the environment – whether deliberate or unintentional – can be thought of as a crime against the environment. The role of environmental forensics is to identify and prevent environmental pollution, or crimes. “Environmental Forensics Fundamentals: A Practical Guide” examines this growing field, and provides environmental professionals looking to specialize in environmental forensics with the materials they need to effectively investigate and solve crimes against the environment.
Pointing the Finger at Environmental Crime
Environmental forensics uses “fingerprinting” techniques in order to assess and analyze contamination sites. Fingerprinting can reveal the source of contamination, as well as how, where, and when the contamination was released. This handy guidebook outlines the proven techniques, applications, and resources needed to efficiently investigate environmental crimes and become successful in this emerging field.
Learn the Basics from a Single Source
