ABSTRACT
This type of forensic investigation refers to practical situations when multiple sources of a targeted contaminant exist within a site area and the goal is to precisely identify contributions from only one particular source. The challenge consists of the presence of a large number of potential contributing sources and the fact that, for this type of case, the targeted contaminant is typically less amenable to common fingerprinting (e.g., chemical fingerprinting techniques). This forensic investigation type is strategically described in Table 7.1.
