Environmental Analysis of Contaminated Sites
Bioremediation is a process applied to restore contaminated sites using biological tools. The success or failure of this process usually depends on an understanding of the biotechnological process as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the ecotoxicological tools used for its evaluation. This useful book offers a unique treatment of the subject, linking soil ecotoxicity tests, bioremediation and environmental risk assessment. It also, describes the inter-relationships between the laboratory and field ecotoxicologist, the biotechnology consultant and different international environmental regulatory agencies and explains how they seek to achieve a successful evaluation of contaminated site restoration.
PAHs
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), or polyarenes, are one of the largest and most structurally diverse class of organic molecules known. High percentages of polyarenes, representing a wide range of molecular sizes and structural types, are present in coal tars and petroleum residues. The major sources of PAHs are crude oil, coal and oil shale. The fuels produced from these fossil sources constitute the primary source of energy for the industrial nations of the world, and the petrochemicals from these raw materials are the basis of the synthetic fibre and plastics industries. PAHs are however, widespread pollutants and their impact on the environment and human health must be monitored a...
Behavioural Ecotoxicology
Behavioural ecotoxicology is an emerging field dealing with the effects of environmental pollutants on the behaviour of animals. Behavioural techniques derived from experimental psychology, behavioural pharmacology and neurotoxicology are applied to detect and characterise changes in animals living in the environment exposed to various pollutants. Behavioural effects are then interpreted in an ecological context considering the long-term relevance of these changes at both the individual and population level.
Contaminated Soil 2000
This volume presents the proceedings of ConSoil 2000, the 7th International FZK/TNO conference on contaminated soil (in co-operation with UFZ Leipzig-Halle). This series of conferences focuses on policies, research and development, regulations, practical implementation and experiences related to contaminated sites. Legal, financial and insurance aspects of contaminated land are also included.

The Coulombe Family of North America
Louis Coulombe was born 1641 at Neufbourg, Eveche d'Evreux, Normandie, France. He was the son of Jacques Coulombe and Boemi (Rolline) Drieu. Louis left France in 1665. He was an indentured servant for three years, until he bought or was given a farm on Ile d'Orleans. He married 30 September 1670 at Sainte-Famille, Ile d'Orleans, Ouebec to Jeanne-Marquerite Boucault (or Foucault). She was born 1651 at St. Germain, Paris, France. She died in 1696 at Berthier, Quebec. Jeanne was a 'Fille du Roi'- one of several conscript girls, probably from a convent or an orphanage, sent to Canada by the King of France to marry colonists. She arrived in Canada in 1668 or 1670. They had twelve children. Descendants and relatives lived mainly in Quebec, Alberta, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York.
