This comprehensive new volume focuses on the latest research advances in measurement methods, monitoring strategies, data interpretation, and quality assurance for asbestos in bulk building materials, as well as ambient, indoor and workplace air, water, and settled dust. [Ed]

Proceedings of the International Symposium on Lysimetry, held in Honolulu, Hawaii, July 23-25, 1991. This collection contains 49 papers on lysimeters--instruments used extensively to provide baseline information for development, calibration, and validation of evapotranspiration methods. Topics include: the history and background of lysimetry; the design and operation of various types of electronic, mechanical, and hydraulic weighing lysimeters; drainage lysimeters; lysimeters for environmental studies; data acquisition systems; environmental requirements necessary for accurate measurement of evapotranspiration; and the development of evapotranspiration equations and cropping factors.
