The world we live in today has been greatly affected positively and negatively by man's activities. This is as a result of his quest to live a better, easier and more comfortable life. Vehicular and industrial emissions, the use of generators for the provision of electricity, the application of fertilizers and herbicides on farm lands for obvious reasons, have all contributed to our soil, water, air and even food pollution. This book gives a simple chemo-metrical approach to the measurement, modelling and simulation of some of these heavy metal pollutants and by extension, other pollution indices in different environmental systems, using the Minitab statistical software. All modelling and environmental monitoring practitioners, students in all science disciplines as well as mathematics and statistics will find this book very useful.

Timothy Akpomie, PhD, is currently teaching at the department of Chemistry, Federal University Lafia, Nigeria. His research interest is in modeling, simulation and monitoring of environmental pollution activities. He is happily married to Jane, also a chemist and are blessed with three lovely kids.
