In addition, natural resource managers and regulatory agencies will greatly benefit from an awareness of this technology and its application to monitoring, exposure assessment and mitigation/remediation of environmental pollution. Also, as the passive, integrative sampling approach gains use in the environmental sciences (one of the authors, J.D. Petty, teaches a graduate level course at the University of Missouri which covers this technology as an integral party of the course), this book will have increasing potential for use as a text in graduate level courses UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/0-387-35414-X ER -
