Book Published- Isotopic and Geochemical techniques to study Groundwater Pollution

Isotopic and Geochemical techniques to study Groundwater Pollution

Sajjad Munir is a young, motivated Geo-scientist from Bahria University Islamabad, Pakistan. His areas of interest are Isotope Hydrology, Geochemistry, Seismic interpretation and GIS and Remote Sensing. He has worked on many environmental and geological issues in Pakistan including groundwater characterization of Islamabad water resources (published) and impact of industrial waste waters of Wah Cantt., Taxila and Hattar Industrial Estates (Analytical work in progress). 

This book is published from Germany by  VDM Verlag Dr. Müller and launched on January 03, 2011on online stores including Amazon, Superbookshop, Books on Demand (BOD), Play.com,  Bertrand, The Book Depository, Alibris, WHSmith, Morebooks publishing, Valorebooks and many others.

Book Cover
Groundwater (deep and shallow) in Islamabad particularly in vicinity of Lei Nala were characterized by environmental stable (δ13C) and Radioactive (tritium) isotopes as well as hydrogeochemical parameters such as physiochemical (pH, EC, TDS, DO and temperature), major cation (Ca+2, Mg+2, Na+1, K+1), anion (NO3-1, SO4-2, CO3-2, HCO3-1, Cl-1) and toxic metals (Zn, Cd, Cu, Pb, Ni, Fe, As, Cr and Co). Piper diagram reveals that Ca-Mg- type of water is dominant in the studied area. The percentage of samples falling under Ca-Mg-type was 53.86 %. For anion concentration, HCO3-type of water predominated with 96.15 % samples. Stable isotope techniques in combination of conventional classical techniques have been applied for this investigation Stable carbon isotope techniques have helped to understand the level and source of contamination in groundwater. The more depleted δ13C (TDIC) values around –8 to –11 ‰ PDB are mainly indicative of inventory of domestic sewage pollution. As such, this study indicates the potential of δ13C (TDIC) technique in relation to physiochemical techniques for assessment of the sources of pollution.

Thanks buddy ;)
Buddy but some people are behaving ridiculous to ths effort

Another Bulshit.....
Em Given A demand note by HoD instead of acknowleding my effort.....
Real Bulshit man.... THats the way they treat their researchers....
