Preface

Environmental Monitoring is a book designed by InTech - Open Access Publisher in collaboration with scientists and researchers all over the world with a proven record of scientific accomplishment and knowledge in the field of environmental monitoring in particular, and environmental sciences in general. The book is designed to present recent research developments and advances in environmental monitoring to a global audience of scientists, researchers, environmental educators, administrators,

A series of chapters addressing varied topics like the monitoring of heavy metal contaminants in atmospheric, terrestrial and aquatic environments; biological monitoring using wildlife/ecotoxicological monitoring; and the use of wireless sensor networks in environmental monitoring are included in this book. The book's concepts, ideas, sampling/analytical techniques described, results and research findings reflect what leading environmental scientistes and researchers around the world have done,

Special words of appreciation are due to Ms Ivana Zec, the Publishing Process Manager who oversaw and coordinated the publishing of all materials and assisted me and the authors in completing our work easily and in a timely manner. My profound thanks also to the technical editor who prepared these manuscripts for publication in
