Environmental Forensics for Persistent Organic Pollutants represents the state-of-the-art in environmental forensics in relation to persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The book is a complete reference for practitioners and students, covering a range of topics from new analytical techniques to regulatory and legal status in the global community.
Through case studies from leading international experts, real-world issues - including the allocation of responsibility for release into the environment - are resolved through the application of advanced analytical and scientific techniques. This book introduces and assesses the development of new techniques and technologies to trace the source and fate of newly emerging and classic POPs (perfluoroalkyl substances, brominated flame retardants, organochlorine pesticides, perfluorinated chemicals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and polychlorinated biphenyls) in environmental media, including atmospheric, marine, freshwater, and urban environments.
- Real-world case studies show the application of advanced analytical and scientific techniques
- Discussion of GC*GC provides an introduction and assessment of a novel technique from leaders in the field
- Introduces the development of new analytical techniques (such as 2-D GC*HC and LC*LC) to trace the source and fate
- Raises awareness about the health and environmental impact of persistent organic pollutants (POPs)
- Outlines the development of international measures to control POPs so that chemists can understand the legal issues
Dr. Sandau is an analytical environmental chemist with expertise in environmental forensics investigations, biomonitoring, data quality and data validation, legal sampling, and expert witness and litigation support. Dr. Sandau obtained his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Western Ontario and his PhD from Carleton University. Dr. Sandau has developed and validated numerous analytical methodologies to quantify many different chemical contaminants and written standard operating procedures to meet the stringent criteria of laboratory governing bodies. Dr. Sandau specializes in evaluating and establishing strict quality assurance and quality control for investigations involving analytical data from sampling techniques and strategies to third party data validation.
Dr. Sandau’s experience includes working at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). At CDC, Dr. Sandau managed a laboratory responsible for the analytical toxicology and exposure
Dr. Sandau is currently the sole proprietor of Chemistry Matters and is an Adjunct Professor in the Engineering Department at the University of Calgary where he lectures on the subject of environmental forensics.

"The book is clearly written and comprehensive. The information in book represents a significant advancement in the forensic sciences and while specific to POPs, is applicable to the forensic investigation of many contaminants of concern." --Analytical & Bioanalytical Chemistry,July 2014 "Biological and environmental scientists, almost exclusively from the anglophone Atlantic explain the theories and processes for identifying natural or artificial organic compounds in the environment that resist biological, chemical and photolytic degradation; and identifying the source of the compound with enough assurance that polluters can be convicted."--ProtoView.com, April 2014
