Environmental Perspectives

Environmental Science

In general, environmental data are organized according to media, such as air or groundwater, analytical fraction, such as VOCs, and sampling round, such as 2014 data. For example, 2010 soil data are likely to still represent conditions whereas 2010 groundwater data may not. Soil data are probably least sensitive to time.
