"This new edition is specially enriched with data on water rock interaction with inorganic pollutants and nanoparticles. ... This book can be highly recommended. It is a helpful resource for those dealing with water chemistry and specifically with the geochemistry of organic pollutants. ... it is essential for those working in hydrogeology to evaluate this distribution pathway of contamination." (Andreas Winkler, Environmental Earth Sciences, Vol. 73, 2015)
